Stronger - A Collaborative Art Journey with @everlove

When finishing off my @everlove collaboration with my bee all you can bee post I was struck by how much the chia seeds looked like fire. Hmm, fire eh. My first bash at a collaboration was quite cheery..

Perhaps something a tad darker was warranted, Yin and Yang!

First I needed a gloomy landscape, I tweaked my field from the bee post with a gritty vermilion filter in Pixlr Express

Then built a stake with my handy plank from the beehive

A quick addition of a damsel/soon to be demonic being from pixabay. I had to remove the arms and move one of her feet to make it look as if she was bound to the stake. Don't worry she won't look like a lady for long!

Need some more of them planks

Now the chia seeds, double exposure with hard light layer effect to make it look fire'y

Ooft, a bit disturbing looking, quick let's paste a demonic looking head on via PicSay Pro!

Grab some heads from pixabay, yeah that middle one is perfect!

Phew, that's much better

I have an idea for a relevant to this image motivational statement..

I added a couple of evil skulls at twenty percent opacity for extra dark effect

And finally a misty dark filter at sixty percent for more spooky.

There we go @everlove!! Possibly a little different from most entries!! Hope it's not too freaky!

special note: meesterboom does not condone the illicit burning of demonic entities unless approved via the appropriate channels and the relevant safety gear is worn
