For my current mixed media project, I envisioned an inquisitive young female, Carmona, who loves and respects nature and all natural elements. Admired for her beauty, she cares not for outer appearances. She's a protector of all she encounters as a voice for the voiceless. The verdant background is a testament to her efforts at conservation. Traveling through time, she gathers information and knowledge.
Below are my steps.
I used a female to portray the protector as a softer side, almost like Mother Earth. Her image I envisioned would flow through the valley and resemble one with nature as through she's rising up.
Using StarryAI, I produce the majority of my stable diffusion projects. I like the results achieved from my descriptions of how I want the image to look. With each project, you receive four unique images. I choose one, then save the remaining for other projects.
For this project, I used two previous designs.
The first image is titled "Beautiful Woman of Color". I utilized the following information to create the female.
Style: Fantasy
Prompt:
"Beautiful woman of color, thin lips, close-up face turned to the left, elegant features, beautiful green eyes, face encased in reptilian."
The second image is titled "Stepping Into a Black Hole". At the last moment, I decided to add a path to discover that runs through her soul. I input the following information to create the portal.
Style: SALTY
Prompt:
"Emerging from a black hole and stepping onto Earth one step at a time with each step folding into the other as the man moves forward toward the camera."
For the background, I included lush landscape. LMAC's database the #LIL assisted with this in a beautiful skylne and vegetation images used in one of their weekly contest. I love how the female interacts with the landscape.

I utilized Canva, my design program, to blend the different type images. I leave with you my procedures which began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements.
I share with you my completed project:
