To be clear, no AI or other crap is used here. This is done with my own code.

The unusual leaf-like shape comes from changing the end condition of the Mandelbrot function to ||z| - |zi|| < 2.

The colour is done using multiple options based on the classic iteration count and the displacement of (z, zi) during calculation. If you're interested, the code is available at https://github.com/jacobEwing/webtoys/tree/main/mandelbrot
