Duality In Chaos | A Mixed Media Art Project for Alien Art Hive's INKTOBER PROMPT [#16-Angel]

Apophysis-OctopusDystopia.png

In response to the Alien Art Hive Community's Inktober Prompts that were part of their Cosmic Creations Edition #6 Contest, Cosmic Creations Edition #6 is LIVE: INKTOBER PROMPTS, members were encouraged to choose a prompt theme from the Inktober Prompts list for their entry into the contest.

After my entry into the contest with Prompt #17 - DEMON which I published on 9/23, I decided to take the Inktober concept one step further. I will focus on the remaining 30 Prompts on the list, beginning with Prompt #1. How fun the themes will be preparing my projects utilizing the mixed media art themes. If a Drabble story (100 words) or other flash fiction emerges, then all the more fun!

Below is my project for Inktober Prompt #16:

Jeremiah fixed his gaze upon the evening ball that shot long shadows onto the desolate landscape. The sun frowned, then tumbled into the night's darkness as a blanket of stars absorbed its fury. It left to linger a fiery explosion.

From east to west, he surveyed the mutilated bodies and desecration that was once his utopian homeland. Dystopia had spread across the landscape like a disease ravishing its host.

He stood at the crossroads of the last unoccupied city.

Behind him, rows of hot raised humps filled with remains of his comrades, family, and friends embedded in the moist soil rotting soil stared up at him. He turned away from the stifling odor of condemnation.

Before him lay hope for the survival of his kind. Leaning back, he summoned the virtuous wings. Immediately responding, grasping hold of his shoulders, they imparted fluidity of movement as grace descended upon him.

The battle he did not start. But he was chosen. The mantle deposited with him sealed his obligation to complete.

He waited, staring out over the horizon for the duality of chaos. Divided evil materializing as angels stood atop the city. One guarding the east; the other, the west. They'd already felled the cities beyond the gates. Their master would not stop until all human life who fought against evil was consumed.

Duality in chaos commanded their poisonous octopi to strike.

Jeremiah stood his ground. The battle was inevitable. Righteousness he hoped accompanied him onto the field.

My approach to this prompt was to present evil in the form of multiples. Twin avengers of the master of evil sent to destroy those who railed against him guarded the last dystopian city.

For the good versus evil theme, I located two dramatic photos I felt fit the description. The contrast was evident as white for purity, and red for evil.

To blend the images, I uploaded all into Canva to take advantage of the upgraded features afforded me in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription such as background removal, colorizing, resizing, repositioning, and filtering.

Below are my procedures:

Started with a blank, white canvas.
