This is my first entry in #LIL. Why do I decide to participate in Let's make a collage? I saw idea-make-rich and pravesh0 participate in it and a user, but I forgot her name. She made beautiful collages. I was having a difficult day deciding what to post. I did not like the theme of the contest where I usually participate. I was thinking of participating in LIL, but 20% beneficiary did not make any sense. Today, I decided to take a deep dive into it. I found out they give 20% back to hivers, contributing to the reward pool. So, just making a post is enough to contribute to good entries. 2% also to contributors, and I decided that I will also contribute something in the future. Maybe, I will also randomly get 2% someday, luckily xD.
I was satisfied participating in LIL because I wanted to try my skills more now because of my last post on the dreemport x ecotrain banner.

This image was given to us as the theme to edit. For some, nobody was adding shaka as a 2% beneficiary, so I checked some entries and decided not to add it as a 2% beneficiary. I think this user runs the contest and doesn't recommend adding as a beneficiary, or maybe because it's a mandatory image.
I wanted to add a mountain, clouds, a space in a circle space, and a married couple standing there. Unfortunately, I found no picture of the couple. I wanted to add the LIL asset as the center of attention in my collage. Of course, the IDEA was rejected because of finding a couple while I typed word couple. I wish someone from the community could contribute a couple of photos.
This idea was strange because the sky is red, and I heard somewhere when the sky is red, GOD is angry. I don't know if that is true or not, but when I was thinking about this, as I already searched a lot about LIL today, It was midnight by then. The thought of GOD reminded me of DEVIL, and as the devil usually gets the color of black or red, this red will be suitable for this devilish theme. I started searching for words like the devil, demon, horror, etc. When I searched the word horror, I found this fantastic picture of TITLE Angel strangely while I picked this image as a devil.

EVA Image gave me enough idea to work around my theme. My angel was ready to become a devil, and my goal was completed to use at least one LIL asset to support a contributor. I removed the background of the sky.
Now I needed something to cover it. I was thinking of eyes that look behind the clouds. This was the image I decided to use.

Currently, the image was perfect in the center of lurking behind the clouds. It was horrifying enough to be used in my theme.
When I think about the devil, I also think about fire. So, why add some fire to fit my theme. I selected this to be used behind my statue just like doctor strange.

Once I implemented this, I had to change both eyes lurking from the sky to one eye because I wanted it to have more opacity; thus, it hides one eye. I changed the positioning of Eyes to fix that.
My next goal was to change the statue. Why? Because if someone else uses it, it will not match this statue. I picked this head to replace with the statue head.

This devil horn fits well with my statue horns. Looks like I finally found a perfect replacement.
Now I wanted to add a tattoo to my statue to make it look different from the original. This was my selection.

I tried to fit it in a different place, but it strangely looks perfectly found between the legs. Also, the statue had two hands and a gap, so it fills that missing piece, and I had not seen any other place for this tattoo which now looks like something more than that.
I appreciate feedback, and I write/create for my audience. I am looking forward to gaining more followers from this community. Please comment with positive criticism for me to improve more. This was the result of all this effort.
Creativity is subjective. If you wanna be creative, I provided all details for u to get inspiration and sneak into my mind. Looking forward to all other devilish/hell theme edits with this contest image.
Here is the link to the contest if you finally made up your mind to participate.
