I Was Once A Bird | A Mixed Media Art Project for Cosmic Creations - Inspired By Nature - No. 3

I was excited with the Cosmic Creations No. 8 Contest theme "Inspired by Nature." Having already completed and submitted my entry, I wanted to share with you another mixed media art project related to the theme.

In my "Inspired By Nature" Theme No. 3, I wanted to portray a vixen enamored with birds. She believes she is their caregiver and protector. She speaks to them, and they perform her bidding. She provides a special dwelling for their safety. They are surrounded by the beauty of nature.

My project showcases three of my awesome pure fractals I recently design in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X. The pink veil was used to cover the face of the scene and provide an ethereal look.

Other images I located that I felt fit well with my scene were a woman and a bird in a night foggy setting. A bird and a moon were also included.

I chose as my design program, Canva, so I uploaded all images in the hopes of blending them into an ethereal scene. Below are the procedures I used:

Started with a blank, white canvas.

Added the veil fractal. Haven't decided where to position it.

Resized the veil fractal to fill the entire canvas and provide a frame for the woman and bird. This lightened up the background and enhanced the image, I feel.

Nice creation

Hi @cyboule. So nice of you to stop by. I'm pleased you liked this design as well. I was hoping for a subdued feel to this one as opposed to my other bold colors and dramatic scene projects.

I appreciate your support. Take care.

Hello. Thank so much for your lovely compliment for my project. I imagined the fractal veil would soften it up and put a subtle glow on her backside so it wasn't so "out there" :)

Thanks for your visit and support. Take care.

I like the smoothness of this piece that makes it look like one of those vintage pulp science fiction covers.

Yes, it does, when you think about it. And one I grew up loving to read. That cover would be sensational in the 60s. and early 70s.

Thanks for your visit and kind compliment for my project. I appreciate it and your support.

Take care and have a good rest of your week.

When I look at that picture I start creating fiction for it in my head or at least imagine that a whole story and world exists within that glimpse.

Also, great title "I was once a bird" really sets the tone for that imagination!

Thank you. Claire and Jasper have a live performance this evening and I will probably be doing the video thing and eating a great burger or something!

Have a great day!

It's night for me, and I'm about to call it quits. But if the photo and title inspire you, then go for it. I didn't have time for short fiction this week on my projects, but I usually include one if time permits. Litguru remarked that the scene looked like a pulp sci-fi fiction. Would love to see what you come up with if you have time.

Take care.
