Gruesome, but even fractals need to eat. Goldeen couldn't believe his luck when a fractal fairy flittered by.

Chaotica and Photoshop CS5.

When this came up in Chaotica, I saw in the swirling shadows a black shape with horns and golden eyes. I thought, "You can't go around saving every random fractal just because it's kind of cool, Tootles. It's time you started doing REAL fractals. Leave it alone!"

But those golden eyes gazed out at me and wouldn't let me go.

The fairy's face looks distorted (perhaps by terror) but I made an attempt to fit it to the underlying shapes in the fractal. She is as she is, really.

I called this I'm No Angel because of a Dido song playing at the time. I nearly changed it to Bug Squash, but... (1) she's not a bug and wouldn't thank you for calling her one; (2) the song was partly the inspiration.

Happy Fractoleen, all. :-)
