For my Alien design No. 3, I envisioned a theme whereby instead of being misunderstood when attempting to infiltrate Earth, a hidden agenda is at play with this alien.
I share with you my third collage design for the theme depicting an ALIEN in response to the partnership of NFTShowroom with @alienarthive for a August Alien Art Challenge.
According to the challenge post, NFTShowroom will feature all the month's four elements themed Art minted on the NFT Showroom home page / twitter and Alien Art Hive will be curating participants' blog posts. The challenge is for the full month of August. If you'd like to join, check out NFTShowroom's challenge post here: nftshowroom X alienarthive challenge for August: ALIENS.

Below are my steps in creating the Alien angel.
The design is titled Angel In Disguise. Upon arrival on Earth, the vision portrayed by the female Alien was one of serenity. Captivated by her aura and the silkiness of her voice, humankind accepted her. A great orator, she traveled throughout the universe addressing various cultures.
Some still held reservations adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
It was the dark void in her eyes that gave pause to many groups. Those naturally suspicious of newcomers boldly stated their reservations. "A shield behind which may lie our destruction. And a hidden dagger in disguise."
As of this writing, the verdict is still pending. She goes about her purported mission to bring peace and united cooperation to the universe.
The information for my design minted on NFTShowroom.

Creation Process:
Utilizing the stable diffusion program, StarryAI, I was able to retrieve four images with the following Style and Text Description prompt:
Style: Etherealism Lite
Prompt:
"Alien currency that is not paper, crypto, gold, or silver."
Once I decided on the diffusion image, I uploaded it into Canva, my design program.
Completed still version in Canva.
I detached the female from its background so that I could maneuver it across the canvas. Duplication provided additional background.
My intention was to insert a sword as a weapon.
The meaning behind the sword indicates a hidden agenda. Smile in your face, while planning an attack.

Still not satisfied while looking deeply into those alien eyes, I decided to give them movement to further intensify the mysterious vibe. I took the still version to Deep Dream Generator for a video. My specific instructions were to move only the eyes.
Below is the final result and the one used to mint on NFTShowroom:
