Telling Secrets | LET'S MAKE A COLLAGE: ROUND #149 (Complimentary)
It's time for another round of Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). In this round, members were provided with a different type landscape scene. An area for bicyclists, together with small fountains can generate fun themes. I think you'll agree the photograph below provided by @shaka in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 149 - ✨163 HIVE in the Prize Pool! will be exciting to work with.

The theme for my collage is Telling Secrets. I wanted to create a fun and unusual theme to portray two friends. We all have friends that we trust. Some friends we divulge information that no one else knows. Our confidence in these individuals allows us to believe that the information will be kept to themselves and spread any further.
In the same vein, others tell us information they only want to share for a specific reason. They ask us not to spread their news. It's extremely difficult to keep secrets, especially over long periods of time.
A true friend may be put to the test. I have known personally individuals who have divulged information to me for the specific purpose to test my loyalty and see whether I will spread it further.
I discovered something unusual about my personality as I aged. I no longer want to hear information from others they consider secret. I have enough going on in my own personal life to think about holding onto information about other people's situations.
Maybe it's just being a senior citizen. I want to live my live free of stress. That may mean refusing to hear other people's problems. I've found it has worked well for me so far.
In thinking about secrets as a theme, when I completed the stable diffusion art image, I felt this modern abstract style image was an unusual interpretation of the prompt and perfect to portray the theme. One of the programs I utilize regularly is Deep Dream Generator.
Here are my steps for creating my primary image in the stable diffusion program, Deep Dream Generator that I used as the background for my scene:
Deep Dream Generator Text Prompt:
"Beautiful fantasy woman rising from the ground with roots for veins in her neck and round dome objects surrounding her"."
Options:
smooth; fantasy; oil on canvas; hyper-realistic; in the style of Picasso
Deep Dream Generator Results:
My two other stable diffusion images were created using Night Cafe and again Deep Dream Generator. This is my second attempt at creating a variation of an image from the LIL.

An awesome inspiration. I feel the giraffe image was an excellent sample to interpret. However, one aspect I would have liked is the smooth transition for the stilts.
Created by me in Night Cafe using the image by @eve66 from LIL as a start:
Night Cafe Text Prompt:
"Full bodied panther on stilts".
Night Cafe Result:
Deep Dream Generator Text Prompt:
"Beautiful flowers in purple".
Deep Dream Generator Results:
StarryAI Text Prompt:
"Colorful angel full body flying with white background".
StarryAI Result:
To create the final collage theme, I also utilized two images I like to have in my theme from the LIL. I then uploaded the contest photo and all images into Canva to blend together the images and take advantage of my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

This collage!!! I stared at it for some time, you're so creative and AI is really something, I like it. I'm still in my 20s and don't care about other people's secrets tbh. It feels like everyone is going through something nowadays expecially with all the crisis in the world. Nicely written
Good that you think this way while young. You'll have enough on your plate than carrying around others' burdens. In my senior years, I forgot something was supposed to be a secret it was told so long ago. Therein lies the problem, lololol
Thanks for your visit. I appreciate your support.
Take care and have a good rest of your weekend.

Love your modern abstract collage. Picasso would be proud. 😊
Wow, I loved your collage you created unique and magnificent images, I want to learn how to use these programs for a change. Thanks for your contribution
Hello. Thanks for your visit. I appreciate your support and pleased you like my theme. The stable diffusion programs are easy to use. I have a few favorites:
Deep Dream Generator (which I think you already use, they recently added the option to produce stable diffusion images)
StarryAI
Night Cafe
What I like about StarryAI and NightCafe is that you get 5 free credits daily. Just remember to go collect them.
You insert a description of the image you want to create. The description is called a "text prompt"
Take care and have a good rest of your weekend.
oh thank you very much I am going to try them right now. Thanks for sharing them. Very kind and noble of you. Happy weekend to you.
I try to share all my knowledge of the programs. In the section of my collages at the end, I tell my procedures. Someone told me, so I'm just paying it forward.
Can't wait to see what your images look like. Create On!
A very ingenious collage. I love your resulted panther too much😍. Thank you for using my image.
Hello. I appreciate your visit and kind words for my collage theme. I loved how the panther turned out. However, I had an excellent starting point with @eve66's LIL image. I plan to see what I can create with other LIL images as examples.
Take care and have a nice rest of your day.
