Fractal visionaries:

Today's fractal, which I assume will be posted on time, takes up where yesterday's left off -- in the spread-out East Valley area of the negative X-axis midget of the Z^2.003 mandeloid -- this time sliced in the YW direction.  Although I drew the picture with XY-axis symmetry, the Y-axis is not actually symmetrical.  It is, however, so close to being symmetrical that the difference is insignificant.

Some of the swirling patterns scattered throughout the image are quite attractive.  They remind me of those old hot-metal printer's ornaments I once worked with, so I named the fractal "Dingbat".  The colors could probably be improved upon if anyone cares to try.

In a day or so, I'll decide on better names for the other four slices of the julibrot figure.  "Mandelbrot" and "Julia" are well defined, but the terms XZ, XW, YZ, and YW are ambiguous, meaning different things to different people.  As it is now, even I am constantly getting mixed up with those clumsy axis names.

Today's image has been faithfully posted to the two fractal picture groups.  Tomorrow's fractal will be on time, but that's all I know about it at the moment.
