*For my Alien design No. 2, I pondered how humans would consider aliens as an acceptable neighbor. Would they fit in with society's views, especially being viewed as an equal? How would they fare in as entrepreneurs? I can imagine the reaction of the clientele.
They would in all likelihood shy away from their establishments for lack of understanding and acceptance. As with anything or anyone different in terms of appearance, attitude, or behavior, society would definitely have a painfully period of adjustment.*
Below is my second collage design for the theme depicting an ALIEN in line with the partnership of NFTShowroom with @alienarthive for a August Alien Art Challenge.

Below are my steps in creating alien life form attempting to become a human entrepreneur.
To begin, I retrieved five images from two stable diffusion programs, StarryAI and Night Cafe. The mixture formed a variety of alien faces and body parts for adorning the female to alter her appearance. The most notable change in appearance I felt added an alien touch was to the female's hands using the unusual hand from a diffusion image.

For the blending process, I utilized Canva, my design program. I leave with you my procedures in pictures which began with a blank, white canvas. Realizing I required a dark background, I switched it to black, then added layers of elements using tools to remove backgrounds, resize, detach elements from their backgrounds, filter, colorize, duplicate, and reposition items as required.
I share with you my completed second design for the Alien theme:
