An Underwater Mystery | LMAC Collage FreeStyle No. 99

3 months ago

I wanted to share with you my Freestyle Collage No. 99. My theme is a mystery underwater, and it's completed in accordance with the LMAC Community guidelines.

The LMAC Community run by @shaka holds a weekly collage contest for its members. In the Community, you'll discover a variety of themed entries submitted for consideration. If selected for the final round, contest hopefuls anxiously await results indicating their placement that determines the prize awarded. It's a fun contest that any Hive member can participate. If you'd like to join in, just visit the LMAC Community account here and follow the rules of the contest for details on the latest round.

The LMAC Community also offers an opportunity for members to create and post in the Community "freestyle" collage themes. In the freestyle option, more freedom is allowed to design your creations without having to incorporate the weekly contest photo. However, contest rules still apply.

Please visit the Community page for any questions on how to successfully publish in the LMAC Community.

In preparing my theme, I envisioned an underwater scene people and animals from above ground are visiting to learn about the mysteries of the deep. With two of the LMAC's original contest images, I was able to include a landscape from above ground for the visitors to encounter and have a familiar setting. The other image is an underwater foliage.

The additional images I included were intended to create an underwater magical kingdom. Some images were free-sourced. Others I chose from the LMAC #LIL database. My two pure fractals I created in Apophysis 7X, the advanced fractal rendering program. I can tell the cows are intrigued by what they see.

I then utilize Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I begin with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

Step 1	Step 2	Step 3
To a blank, white canvas I added the underwater image.	Duplicated to fill the background.	Added female; horns, and fish statute

Step 4	Step 5	Step 6
Added jellyfish, raindrops, and fractal; resized, then positioned..	Added stones. Duplicated and colorized them. Also added the bottom landscape images and angel; duplicated where needed.	Added the LMAC cow image. Removed background; duplicated, then placed inside the stone formation.

Below is my completed freestyle collage:

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. I hope you like my freestyle collage theme.
