Since deciding to participate in INKTOBER 2024, I share my interpretation of Prompt #4 - Exotic. In developing the theme, I thought of what "exotic" means to me. It doesn't always have to be a female or male that society views as beautiful. Whatever draws one's attention evoking certain feelings and reactions I feel can be categorized as exotic. I wanted to create an image I believe portrays an exotic view of the concept of wealth with an ethereal background.

Below is my project for Inktober Prompt #4.

I utilized a stable diffusion image as the focus of my theme to portray a lovely female. The diffusion program I used was StarryAI. The description I chose yielded a nice result of a woman with a long neck and thin features. Her hair flows away from her head and body in soft, graceful ebony spikes. From the two images I thought might be appropriate, I chose the second one with the spiked hair.

StarryAI Text input:
"Exquisite beauty, tall and graceful, plucking an item from a tree. She has her hand outstretched. Her body is facing to the left."

Style: Fantasy

StarryAI Results:

The only other images I included were my pure fractal I designed in Apophysis 7X, an advanced fractal rendering program that resembled a piece of jewelry and a necklace which I duplicated and placed around various parts of her body. My intention was to cover her eyes with the jewelry.

I discovered that the placement of the jewelry made all the difference in how the theme exotic was achieved. In the final result, I chose to have the jewelry in the foreground.

I then uploaded both images into Canva. I use this program as my design studio to blend the images and create an awesome scene. This program affords me the tools to resize, remove backgrounds, colorize, filter, and reposition my images. In addition, I have at my disposal the free templates and elements to create the backgrounds from my scenes or add additional images. Below are my steps in pictures.

Besides being an image of fine jewelry, you found the perfect combination with a little religious air, of course, the way it is structured, the image gives the viewer that feeling.

A lovely take on my project. I hadn't thought of it in that way. That's the thing about any type of art. It's free to be interpreted by the viewer with whatever feelings it evokes. Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it.

The concept of wealth is adequately represented in this image, with all the gold and then the exquisiteness of the lady.
