Navigating Unchartered Waters | LET'S MAKE A COLLAGE: ROUND #95 - Teaming Up With Creative Coin Community

Hello everyone and welcome back to Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). This week, we were provided with a water scene and rusted vessel image to work with in creating our collages. I considered two themes, so I set out to locate some suitable images from the LIL to accompany them.

To create both themes, I started with the photograph provided by @shaka in his contest post for Round 95: An LMAC Special - Teaming up with the Creative Coin Community - ✨203 HIVE plus 10'000 CCC in the Prize Pool!

COLLAGE #1

The first collage depicts a scene where the vessel has been driven off course and is now lost and in unchartered waters. The background I chose was one of desolation as the vessel attempts to navigate through this small, unfriendly waterway. This passage was rumored to be haunted as dark forces await to destroy the ships. The crew looks out over the waters to see others ships have fallen prey to whatever is haunting the shore and water. Thankfully, a mythical protector of the water appears that helps the vessel navigate their way through.

To create the collage, I again uploaded both the contest photo and the background image into Canva. Next, I added the following images:

• Black Spider by @muelli at LIL

• Black Birds by @onyechi at LIL

• Blue Lightning fractal created by author, @justclickindiva, in Apophysis 2.09

• Mythical Protector holding lantern at PxFuel

• Yellow snake by ELL3G4NCE at PurePNG

• Skull by LPuo at PurePNG

Below is the final result.

COLLAGE #2

The second collage image depicts an old barge that sunk and is now under water. The background image I chose shows a statue that guards the sea floor and overlooks the vessel.
