Wavy Elephant



http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=2118

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.
