Bird's Eye View | A Mixed Media Art Project

For my current mixed media art project, I wanted to showcase two of my pure fractals I used that I created in two different versions of Apophysis, the fractal rendering program. To refresh, a fractal is a visual representation of a complex mathematical equation. Its iterations are produced when the iterations are rendered.

My first pure fractal entitled "Red Curtain" was created in Apophysis 2.09 and has always been a favorite. I use it as a background for my projects. It certainly does resemble a curtain. I utilized the curtain as the background. The crow is centered as though being unveiled.

Para mi actual proyecto de arte de técnica mixta, quería mostrar dos de mis fractales puros que utilicé y que creé en dos versiones diferentes de Apophysis, el programa de renderizado de fractales. Para refrescar, un fractal es una representación visual de una ecuación matemática compleja. Sus iteraciones se producen al renderizarlas.

Mi primer fractal puro titulado "Cortina Roja" fue creado en Apophysis 2.09 y siempre ha sido uno de mis favoritos. Lo utilizo como fondo para mis proyectos. Ciertamente se parece a una cortina. Utilicé la cortina como fondo. El cuervo está centrado como si lo estuvieran desvelando.

El segundo fractal puro titulado "Eye of the Swirl", lo creé en Apophysis 7X, la versión actualizada del software. Es un diseño encantador que contiene remolinos de colores. Utilicé este fractal para crear un par de ojos mágicos y alienígenas.

Al visualizar fractales, siempre es mejor utilizar un fondo negro. De ese modo, los detalles se muestran completamente. Yo suelo renderizar mis fractales sobre un fondo transparente. Así puedo superponerlos con imágenes de otro tipo o viceversa.

The second pure fractal entitled "Eye of the Swirl", I created in Apophysis 7X, the upgraded version of the software. It's a lovely design that contains colorful swirls. I used this fractal to create a magical and alien pair of eyes.

When viewing fractals, it's always best to use a black background. That way, the details are fully displayed. I usually render my fractals on a transparent background. That way, I can overlay them with other type images or vise versa.

In the majority of my mixed media art projects, I include a human or animal image to complement the fractals. These images may be free-sourced or created utilizing stable diffusion or generative art programs. Whichever program is used, the ability to work with transparent images is key to blending and filtering the various elements.

For my stable diffusion program, I utilize one of my favorites, Night Cafe for this project. I like the results that my text description is transformed into. The crow with its wings spread wide looks majestic Below are my steps that produced the crow:

En la mayoría de mis proyectos artísticos de técnica mixta, incluyo una imagen humana o animal para complementar los fractales. Estas imágenes pueden proceder de fuentes libres o crearse utilizando programas de difusión estable o arte generativo. Sea cual sea el programa utilizado, la capacidad de trabajar con imágenes transparentes es clave para mezclar y filtrar los distintos elementos.

Para mi programa de difusión estable, utilizo uno de mis favoritos, Night Cafe para este proyecto. Me gusta el resultado en que se transforma la descripción de mi texto. El cuervo con las alas desplegadas parece majestuoso como si las alas estuvieran a punto de batirse.

A continuación están mis pasos que produjeron el cuervo:as though the wings are bout to flap.

Since the theme of my project is "eyes", I decided to surround the crow with decorative and alien eyes. I also included a mermaid image whose pose sideways only revealed her eye. She originally is lying down. However, with background removal and repositioning capabilities with my design program, I'm able to switch her position and overlay her image.

Como el tema de mi proyecto son los "ojos", decidí rodear al cuervo de ojos decorativos y alienígenas. También incluí una imagen de una sirena cuya pose de lado sólo revelaba su ojo. Originalmente está tumbada. Sin embargo, con las funciones de eliminación de fondo y reposicionamiento de mi programa de diseño, puedo cambiar su posición y superponer su imagen.

To blend the images and complete the project, I uploaded all to Canva. I use this site as my design program with the assistance of my upgraded Annual Pro Membership Subscription. Below are my procedures:

Para mezclar las imágenes y completar el proyecto, lo subí todo a Canva. Utilizo este sitio como mi programa de diseño con la ayuda de mi suscripción anual Pro actualizada. A continuación están mis procedimientos:

To a blank, white canvas, I added the pure fractal curtain.
A un lienzo en blanco, blanco, añadí la cortina fractal pura.

Switched canvas background to black to see curtain detail. Duplicated it, then positioned both on opposite sides not touching to appear as an opening.

Cambié el fondo del lienzo a negro para ver el detalle de la cortina. Duplicado, a continuación, coloca ambos en lados opuestos no se tocan para aparecer como una abertura.

Added the fractal "Eye of the Swirl". Duplicated it, then positioned on opposite sides. Next, added a blue eye. Duplicated that one, resized it and placed them inside the fractal.

Agregado el fractal "Ojo del Remolino". Lo dupliqué y lo coloqué en lados opuestos. A continuación, añadió un ojo azul. Duplicado ese, redimensionado y colocado dentro del fractal.

Added the alligator eye. Placed it in a frame, then centered it in the red iris pupil.
Agregado el ojo de cocodrilo. Lo coloqué en un marco y luego lo centré en la pupila del iris rojo.

Added the female.
Añadió la mujer.

Removed female's background. Resized, then duplicated the image and placed opposite each other.

Eliminado el fondo de la mujer. Redimensionada, luego duplicada la imagen y colocada una frente a la otra.

Scary, but GORGEOUS!

Hello @deeanndmathews. I appreciate your visit and compliment for my mixed media art project. Art I feel is subjective. As such, I don't see scary, but a collection of unusual eyes, one pair of which is an alligator.

Thanks for your support. Take care.

The crow and the alligator ... I guess I picked up on that side of it ... but you are right ... it IS subjective!

Me gusta tu trabajo plástico digitalizado. Buena conjunción de elementos en diferentes planos. Los fractales son las figuras geométricas que más me fascinan. Para mí, que soy escritor, es el análogo visual de lo que en teoría literaria se conoce como "puesta en abismo" (mise en abîme). Saludos, @justclickindiva.

Hello @josemalavem. Thanks so much for your visit. I'm pleased you liked my mixed media art project. I love working with fractals and blending them with other media art. I believe also that the visual representation should complement and portray the story being told.

I appreciate your engagement and support. Take care and have a good rest of your week.


Hola @@@josemalavem. Muchas gracias por tu visita. Me alegro de que te haya gustado mi proyecto de arte de técnica mixta. Me encanta trabajar con fractales y mezclarlos con otros medios de arte. También creo que la representación visual debe complementar y retratar la historia que se cuenta.

Le agradezco su compromiso y su apoyo. Cuídense y que tengan un buen resto de semana.
