Surrounded by Bugs

This motive is a rather deep in-zoom in a little cross in the very upper part in the previous deviation Paradise Spider [link] . Also this motive is only drawn with the respect to the set M6. The central little mandy is surrounded by a swarm of bugs, all having the shape of pentic Julia sets generated from parameters taken from a head (2-periodic bud) of the pentic Mandelbrot set.

The motive comes from a 2D slice of the 12-dimensional heptic parameter space [link]

*a_real = 0
*a_imag = 1.23325520828
*b_real = 0
*b_imag = 0
*c_real = 0
*c_imag = 0
*d_real = 0
*d_imag = 0
*e_real = 0
*e_imag = 0
*f_real = #pixel (horizontal)
*f_imag = #pixel (vertical)

Instead of the basic coloring (coloring according to the number of iterations) a evaluated form called Continius Potential Method (CPM) is used. This method produces continues slopes around the sets instead of discrete plateaus.
