Wrinkle in time /// Original Art, energy blobs and Isaac Asimov for the collaborative art journey
Once again @everlove has offered us a beautiful image to collaborate with, the title of the image this week was Wrinkle in Time, here is my final image:
When I heard this title I started thinking about the many sci-fi books I read. One of my favourite sci-fi authors is Isaac Asimov and I recalled a book I read by him called The Gods Themselves. It's been quite some time since I read this book but I recall some scientists discovered another dimension and the beings on the other side were blobs of energy that fed off the sun, somewhat like plants. I highly recommend this book and I actually now want to read it again!
The cover of the copy I had is pretty cool too!
So here I was thinking of this theme and book and I decided to try to depict these beings but ended up adding a very human face. Hmmm, drawing blobs of energy isn't that easy.
Here are a few steps of the process.
This is the original image, I took this and inverted it as a starting point:
Next I painted this face, there seemed to naturally be an empty space for it.
I then rotaated the image and cleaned up and played with the layers just a tad. I found the colours slightly dull so after this I took it to a photo editing software and made some adjustments and the final result as you can see is the first image :)

Julia!! you always hypnotizing me how do you do it? muah!
The faces you create are really amazing @juliakponsford. They have such a soft and silky feeling about them. The shapes are always so feminine. This is another amazing transformation, and such a great addition to our repertoire. Thanks for making this journey so much richer!
Thanks so much for the opportunity I always get excited when I see the post ❤️
Great! Your enthusiasm and skill are so very welcomed here. Thank you for sharing yourself with us @juliakponsford! <3
I love asimov. Actually @winstonalden got me into scifi years ago when we first met. I was always thankful for that.
Great minds think alike! I turned the image the same way as you. It must have just spoke to us that way. And I felt the same too, the face. I can't help but put a figure in everything! :)
I love her solemn expression and the empty eyes, it's very surreal. Well done. I love contests! To me really, it's just like fun art school homework. I love seeing all of us interpret things in our own style. Well done Steemit again!
One of my favourite Scifi books, though it isn't Asimov, is A canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller
