When In Need Of A Friend | LET'S MAKE A COLLAGE: ROUND #148 (Complimentary)

Another week of Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). In Round #148, I must say that the contest image provided is an awesome landscape with small mountains and water flowing through it in a blue hue. Not to mention the skyline. A nice image with several sections to work with. It'll be another week of waiting to see what themes members create. I plan to create two themes that deal with calm and friends in your midst.

To create the setting for my themes, I started with the photograph provided by @shaka in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 148 - ✨149 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

COLLAGE #1: A Friend To the Rescue

For my first college theme, I wanted to focus on having peace and harmony in one's life. Strive as you may, sometimes outside influences and stressors weave their way into your personal space. These situations or individuals may not be genuine and have your best interest as their goals. They may come under false pretenses.

It always amazes me how others outside a particular situation can see the bigger picture and get a clearer understanding. It may take that outside friend or other person, who knows your circumstances and trials, that might be able to shield you or thwart danger headed your way.

I hope my scene is able to portray this message.

COLLAGE #2: Finding Playmates

In my second collage theme, I decided to have a bit of fun with some alien children looking for new friends. They were transported to Earth by guardians who agreed to assist them. Dropped from the portal, they were free to roam and look for friends. The guardians left eyes to protect watch over and protect them. The alien children discovered wonders of nature and sea animals.

Below are the supporting images used to create each collage them.

Collage #1 Supporting Images

To create the 1st collage theme, I created my own landscape background to combine with the contest image and a beautiful mushroom village. I utilized two stable diffusion programs to produce the images:
