Beyond My Psyche | A Mixed Media Art Project

For my current mixed media art project, I wanted to share a recent stable diffusion image I retrieved from StarryAI that depicted the vision of my exotic women series. With the series, I place the female in various situations. In looking at them, I picture their interaction and reaction to the surroundings in which they are placed. My thoughts are, what are they thinking? how will they extract themselves if the situation is uncomfortable?".

Below are my steps. The text description I used I discovered on StarryAI from :

Starry AIText input:
"Breathtaking modern beautiful young woman (punk goth wizardress) with long straight brown hair, pale skin, (hazel-greenish eyes), long eyelashes (punk-goth girl soft skin, freckles, defined cheek bones, high cheek bones, cheery), magic mist, digital painting, digital illustration, extreme detail, digital art, 4k, ultra hd, Anna Dittmann, greg rutkowski,hyperrealism."

Style: Brushstroke
Iterations: 50

StarryAI Result:

With StarryAI, you receive four different poses from the text description.

It was difficult choosing the image I wanted to use, but ultimately settled on Image 3, the bottom left image, comprising the pose facing toward the camera. Since I wanted to add onto the face and surround it with other mixed media, I felt this pose was perfect. Look at those eyes.

Choosing the right accessories for to enhance the image is essential. I discovered several images I felt blended well with the color scheme and picked up small dashes of colors, especially in the female's blue pupils. A delicate pink wild onion flower would add to the ethereal quality of the scene. However, the image of the lady bending over holding an eye was an awesome find, especially since the colors matched my theme.

To blend the images, I uploaded all into Canva, my design program. I utilized snippets of the female image to create borders around her face.

Below are my procedures:

To a blank, white canvas, I added the stable diffusion female image.

Switched canvas background to rose color to match the blush on the female's face. Resized female diffusion image to fit the entire screen.

Copied the female image. Stretched and condensed it to achieve a border frame; then duplicated it for the other side. I felt it added texture to the scene.

Added the wild onion flower.

Removed wild onion background. Duplicated, then resized both and placed on opposite sides of the female.

Added the one-eyed-female.

Resized and positioned the one-eyed female on the stable diffusion female's nose. Completed project.
