ART EXPLOSION 75: Theme OPEN THEME

I begin by thanking again Hive account@juliakponsford for conceiving and curating this interesting contest as Art Explosion, whose bases are here.

The drums of war are playing again these days so among the various images I have been creating with the free software http://artbreeder.com, in whose page I registered following the recommendation of the great friend Hive account@juliakponsford, I chose a figure that I found interesting as a starting point to do something with which to participate in the contest. It was a figure suggested to me by a military man.

1.- Exploring with the free software http://artbreeder.com appeared an image that suggests me to a ruthless soldier, which is a redundancy:

2.-Then I was working the image with the free software http://firealpaca.com/ editing it and making a sequence of images to create an hipertechnological military being:

3.-Then I took from the page of

4.-After creating a series of images intervened with FireAlpaca, I took them to http://firealpaca.com/douga/ to convert them into a GIF that I could share in the www.
