NFTShowroom partnered with @alienarthive for a July Earth, Water, Air, and Fire CHALLENGE. According to the challenge post, NFTShowroom will feature all the month's four elements themed Art minted on the NFT Showroom home page / twitter and Alien Art Hive will be curating participants' blog posts.

This challenge is for the full month of July. To join in check out NFTShowroom's challenge post here: nftshowroom X alienarthive challenge for July: The Four Elements (Earth, Water, Air, Fire)

To participate:

  • Make art incorporating the Four Elements (Earth, Water, Air, or Fire) themes
  • mint it on https://nftshowroom.com/
  • make a blog post about it in Alien Art Hive

Below is my collage design depicting the AIR theme.

For this project, I didn't mint it. I may decide to tokenize later.

The design is titled All I Need Is the Air That I Breathe. My title was taken from a popular 60s era song that I like. The serene nature of the tune gave me inspiration to turn my theme dark without the light and breezy clouds and sunshine that one thinks of when we visualize air elements.

In my theme, the primary image is that of a female who floats in the midnight realm above the landscape. Her purpose for being is only know to herself and the entity that willed her into being. She is of the fowl that occupy space in the atmosphere.

Often when I dwell on life, I think of being free of responsibilities, struggles, hardships, and challenges. Free to roam the Earth like the birds, not caring for only the day. Tomorrow will take care of itself if I'm here to experience it.

In completing my design, I uploaded all images into Canva, my design program. With the tools available, I'm able to blend the various type images. I leave with you my procedures which began with a blank, white canvas. I then added layers of elements in accordance with my upgraded Annual Pro Membership that includes tools to remove backgrounds, detach elements from the background, colorize, resize, filter, duplicate, and reposition items.

Images I included in my theme are listed below. I was able to locate a pure fractal I created in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X. This fractal provided the ethereal atmosphere in the atmosphere as it was designed from the Gaussian Blur feature. Two images I retrieved from the stable diffusion programs StarryAI and Night Cafe. The remaining images are free-sourced.

I know that song -- my parents had me listening to the classics of their eras too -- and I can feel the connection!

Me too with the butterfly effect. It does feel as though she can whisper to it and cause ripples around all she surveys. When I first created the butterfly, I overlooked the eyes inset. Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it, your kind compliment, and your support. Take care.

The work has a very ethereal point of view, with a mysterious look, as if only it knows why it was created. I love the atmosphere and the aura of mystery that surrounds it... it just needs the air it breathes, there are no worries. I love it!

It is a work with harmonious colours and a perfect composition in space. Thank you very much! It's beautiful!🤗

I was hoping to effect the ethereal quality in her weightlessness while she views her surroundings. You are correct in that she requires nothing to sustain her existence except her creator. She is at peace with all she surveys.

Thanks so much for your visit and insight. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.

I wish that at least part of all of us could be like that, at peace with our surroundings. Thank you!🤗

I like how you flipped the air theme into something dark and introspective. The floating figure feels otherworldly but still grounded in emotion it takes a good artist to do this. I would actually love to see this tokenized someday.

I'm pleased you like the weightless female. She's just floating while taking in breaths. I was hoping the concept worked for the "air" theme. I appreciate your visit, kind compliment, and support. Take care.

Hi @justclickindiva , your NFT beautifully represents the 4 elements. I love the color you chose for your NFT.

The butterfly and clouds give it that dreamy touch.
