For my current mixed media art project, I wanted to share an image I envisioned that resembled times of the chariot races and other games of combat in the amphitheater. My version feels more in the realm of an alien atmosphere.
Working with various type media, I was able to achieve the spirit of the oftentimes brutal encounters for the mere pleasure of sport and betting. My intention was to first utilize the StarryAI stable diffusion program where I'm able to retrieve four images with my free membership.
I chose to work with three of the images that depict a vulture watching the games. The vultures would wait patiently until a gladiator dies then swoop in. However, a vulture can represent the citizens who watched the games cheering for the winner to exact death upon his opponent. Brutal, to say the least.
Below are my steps:

Colosseum ~ Beauty model ~ Abstract background ~ Gladiator ~ Alligator eye ~ Yellow flower ~ Yellow Leaves
To blend my project, I uploaded all images into Canva, my design program. Below are my procedures:
To a blank, white canvas, I added the abstract background.
Stretched the background to fill the entire canvas. Added the female face. Colorized, then resized and repositioned.
Added the amphitheater. Removed background; colorized, then positioned it after duplicating.
Added the eye and vultures. Duplicated them and placed in appropriate placed on screen.
Added the chariot race. Removed background and positioned on screen. Completed project.
I share with you my completed project:
