Siphonia searched the galaxy for her likeness of her former self. Pleased she'd discovered a planet where she might give and learn from others, she set her course.
She never envisioned how closed-minded the inhabitants would be.
The unfairness she felt was directed at her she didn't understand. Being different shouldn't result in being shunned by the community, she felt. If only that society would pause for one second to communicate, become familiar with her world, broaden their knowledge of the universe with her perspective, then perhaps they wouldn't be afraid of her unique abilities she possessed.
Instead, the inhabitants continued their narrow view of life beyond their existence. Unwilling to open up to new possibilities of the universe, she withdrew from them.
She closed her mind. She wrapped herself in the universe again.
It was time to go home.
The Council summoned her to return. The other side of the galaxy she'd visited was not ready for her kind.
Maybe I'll come again in a two centuries, she thought, but didn't know if she could convince their Council it was worth the effort.
My current art project I titled "Sun and Moon Goddess" I conceived while creating a stable diffusion image of a female caught in a storm. The image was created utilizing Deep Dream Generator. The site specializes in image enhancement. Several weeks ago, it offered the ability to create stable diffusion images. This type of program uses text prompts to identify images you want to produce.
Below are my creation process steps:
STEP 1: The Sun and Moon Goddess
Deep Dream Generator Text input: "Woman in the rain."
Deep Dream Generator Result: I feel the image produced my vision of an ethereal alien being.
STEP 2: The Universal Moons
To represent the universe, I created a moon image in stable diffusion. I wanted the image to reflect different aspects of outer space. I was surprised at the four different images I received from another stable diffusion program, Night Cafe.
Below are my steps:
Night Cafe Text input: "Blue moon with shadows Epic cinematic brilliant stunning intricate meticulously detailed dramatic atmospheric maximalist digital matte painting hyper-detailed charcoal drawing."
Weight: 1
Initial Resolution: Thumb
Runtime: Short
Seed: 468489588
Overall Prompt Weight: 50%
Noise Weight: 50%
Model Version: Stable Diffusion v1.5
Sampling method: K_LMS
CLIP Guidance: NONE
Night Cafe Result:
I feel the images turned out nicely to represent other planets.
STEP 3: My Pure Fractal Art
I've created fractal art for the past two years. A fractal is a visual representation of complex mathematical equations. In order to produce a fractal, it must be rendered by a fractal rendering program. Numerous programs exist, such as Apophysis. I produced two pure fractals for this project I felt would blend well with the humanoid figure and the moon interpretations.
The first pure fractal is a jade medallion. The second is a sort of diamond shaped image.
STEP 4: Final process
Utilizing Canva, I was able to upload all images and blend them to create one surreal project. Using the moons as a background, I feel I captured my theme precisely. My fractals provided the touch of color.
Here is the final version:
Thanks for taking the time to view my post. I hope you like my fractal and stable diffusion art project.
Thanks,
