## <center>**SPACE TRAIN**</center>

<div class='text-justify'>Hello friends, here I'm sharing a collage that I just finished creating today. I was in this project from the start of this month. SPACE TRAIN was kind of like a challenge, I wanted to show that humans are better than AI. Nowadays everyone is bragging about AI programs doing a better job than Humans and in the future, there won't be any more artists. 
I wanted to show the difference between AI and Human artists. So I took a lot of time perfecting this collage. I made a lot of changes to the collage during this time gap (1st Sep to 13th Sep). I wanted to keep up that extreme quality that Ai programs can't provide. So I spent time perfecting the collage day by day and this is the final result.</div>

Finding the base image was the hardest part of this manipulation. I was able to find this image of [Earth and Moon](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/tierra-luna-dolor-amanecer-espacio-1388003/) inside Pixabay. Then I searched for a train that matches this scene. I went for a vintage train.

I made the train track using the Pen tool and motion blur inside Photoshop CC. I made a curve and made it stroke (brush, size: 25).

-73 angle and distance 113. Those settings will give the above result. Then made 3 duplicates of these and made the track wider.

After that applied gaussian blur and created a clipping mask of this star image. That will give that effect of pixie dusk on tracks.

This gif was created from www.ezgif.com

The smoke was manually drawn inside Photoshop using [Free Smoke Brush for Photoshop](https://www.brusheezy.com/brushes/58094-free-smoke-photoshop-brushes).

The sky is a blend of multiple images and stars images were used to give pixie dust effects.

The train looked off, for adding some creativity the LMAC Contest Round 85 template was used.
