Hello everyone. I want to share another project for "Talent Tuesdays". My current design is titled "Thinkers". My theme consists of a mixed media art design that includes statutes that embodies the idea of deep thoughts.
What does it mean for an individual to sink deep in thought? To me, it means delving into a situation and exposing all the elements of a situation, then weighing my options from all sides. The positive and negative outcomes are evaluated to see which ones will yield the best result for my problem.
Oftentimes when I'm deep in thought, I usually stow away to a quiet place to resolve a pressing or lingering issue that must be addressed. I rarely ask for opinions from others as I don't tell them my thoughts.
Only after I've weighed all my options will I seek advice or opinions from others.
In designing my mixed media art project, I envisioned locating a variety of images that portrayed individuals and object that appear to be consumed in thought. I was delighted to discover not only a individual but statutes that aligned with my theme.
The background and central image for my theme I achieved with a stable diffusion image from Night Cafe, another stable diffusion program I've found suitable for producing adequate images from my text descriptions. Below are my steps:
Night Cafe Text input:
"Fantasy eye, detailed painting, deep color, intricate fantasy detail, 8k resolution."
Weight: 1
Model: SDXL BETA
Initial Resolution: Thumb
Aspect Ratio: 1:1
Runtime: Short
Seed: 3888844262
Overall Prompt Weight: 50%
Night Cafe Result:
Other images I included to bring the deep thinking concept to life were statutes and a human face. With the human face, eyes are the feature I look for when attempting to locate a certain type theme. Of course, my pure fractals I included that were created in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X, created an ethereal atmosphere in the midst of the thinkers.

Blending elements is accomplished with Canva, my design program. Below are my steps in which I began with a blank, white canvas. I then added my initial stable diffusion image that served as the background. Next, I added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, duplicating, colorizing, filtering, and repositioning items as needed. Below is my process in pictures.
