In nearly all my mixed media projects, I depict a female in various situations interacting with elements or other individuals. I attempt to convey a central theme or story related to the image. In this second Magic design, the female is drunk with pleasure, although her demeanor is somber. Perhaps too much wine as evidenced by the three glasses that show her travels and adventures. Perhaps she's now resting from her escapades. <center></center>  ##### The information for my design minted on NFTShowroom. <div class="pull-left"> Name: ***In the Grips of Fantasy*** Date Minted: 5/14/2025 Link: [In the Grips of Fantasy](https://nftshowroom.com/gallery/justclickindiva_digital-art-fractals_in-the-grips-of-fantasy) Number Minted: 5 Cost: 5 Hive/each </div> <div class="pull-right">  </div>  My still image was accomplished utilizing my design program, Canva. This program allows me to add layers of elements in accordance with my upgraded Annual Pro Membership. Tools such as background removal, resizing, filtering, duplicating, and reposition items as required.  - Opening a blank, white canvas, I added the fantasy background image; then resized it to fill the canvas; - Aded the female; removed her background; then duplicated bottom half of her shoulders to create a fantasy portion that resembled a landscape; - Added the wine glasses; removed their background; then repositioned them behind the female; - Added the stable diffusion phoenix image; removed its background, then positioned it in the center wineglass; - Added flowers and meteor. Removed backgrounds, then positioned them. Completed design. <center></center> Next, I utilized Mosh PRO (formerly known as PhotoMosh) to create the video. After uploading my still image, I slid the filter buttons to the on positions, then added the *MELT* and *BLEACH* filters with the following settings: <div class="pull-left"> MELT: (provided movement) Amount: 0.3 Scale: 1 Speed: 0.1 BLEACH: (darkened the image for a crisper texture) </div> <div class="pull-right">  </div> <center></center> Here is a list of the images I included in my design. Two images I retrieved from the stable diffusion program, StarryAI.
