Wavy Elephant
This is a Mandelbrot set fractal rendered in FractalWorks.
It's a fairly standard Elephant from Elephant Valley in the Mandelbrot set.
Maximum iterations: 10000
Center Point (real, imaginary): -1.7494806173693, -0.00014613381773813 i
Plot Width (real): 9.73E-13
Plotted using distance estimates to give the elephant crisp outlines.
The colors were generated using a histogram based color scheme.
They were then smoothed using fractional iteration values, but with a twist. I applied a sinusoidal change in brightness based on the fractional part of the iteration value, to give the wavy pattern you see. I rather like the effect. (The wavy effect was done with an experimental version of FractalWorks that isn't available)
