Dark Crystal To Light | A Mixed Media Art Project

I wanted to highlight again another awesome pure fractal I created for my current mixed media art project. I paired the fractal with a lovely stable diffusion image. I titled the project "Dark Crystal To Light". I love working with fractals. The endless use for these ethereal images.

Below are my steps to creation.

My pure fractal I designed in Apophysis.

The advanced version of this fractal rendering program is Apophysis 7X.

I normally use this version as it produces more distinct and clear renderings of the fractals in which the details are superb.

This fractal is extremely versatile when rendered on a transparent background.

The additional image I chose to pair with my fractal I retrieved from the stable diffusion program, StarryAI, utilizing the Portrait style.

StarryAI Text input:
"Female Harpy."

Style: Portrait; Quality: Fast; Seed: 8195777018

StarryAI Result:

I then utilized Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements and frames, removing backgrounds, resizing, and repositioning items as needed. Below is the progression of steps to completion.

I share with you my completed project:

Thanks for taking the time to view my post. I hope you like my mixed media art project.
