Hi, Jesus, 

    The exact choices for PlotPoints and MaxRecursion below might not give you 
enough resolution, but should get you started. As far as I can tell, there's 
a bit of a tricky tradeoff between PlotPoints and MaxRecursion. Anyway, try 
the following:

DensityPlot[JuliaTest[x, y, 50, -0.75 + 0.5*I], {x, 1.24, 1.27}, 
   {y, -0.13, -0.1}, PlotPoints -> 40, Mesh -> False, 
 MaxRecursion -> 4]

             Good luck!
                       C.O.
