In response to the Alien Art Hive Community's Inktober Prompts that were part of their Cosmic Creations Edition #6 Contest, Cosmic Creations Edition #6 is LIVE: INKTOBER PROMPTS, members were encouraged to choose a prompt theme from the Inktober Prompts list for their entry into the contest.
After my entry into the contest with Prompt #17 - DEMON which I published on 9/23, I decided to take the Inktober concept one step further. I will focus on the remaining 30 Prompts on the list, beginning with Prompt #1. How fun the themes will be preparing my projects utilizing the mixed media art themes. If a Drabble story (100 words) or other flash fiction emerges, then all the more fun!
Below is my project for Inktober Prompt #7:
In my approach to Prompt #7, I recently read of countries in need of a water resource. I can't imagine that with the planet being 71% covered with water, a lack of it would be acknowledge. The problem is with the fresh supply of drinking water. I envisioned the lack of water. An unidentifiable water source assisted by magical creatures from the sea helped to supply the scarcity. If only this were true.
To assist in creating the image for the prompt, I utilized a beautiful pure fractal I recently created. The colors appeared to entice the senses into believing in an abundance. The different colors represented the countries.
Other pure fractals added to the magical quality of the scene.
For the magical creature, waterfall, and the vase that collects the water, I chose to design them in StarryAI. This stable diffusion program is a nice one that produces quality images from my descriptions.
Below are my steps:
*StarryAI Text input:

To blend the images, I utilized Canva as my design program. Below are my procedures from left to right:
Started with a white canvas.
Duplicated waterfall; resized to fill canvas.
Added Gaussian blur.
Added mermaid stable diffusion image.
Added vase stable diffusion image.
Changed color to black. Added waterfall.
Added veil fractal for texture.
Duplicated Gaussian Blur and repositioned.
Duplicated mermaid; resized opposite water.
Added Turmoil fractal to vase.
