Part of Milky Way | Creative-Sunday : Collage

Hello everyone, this is my fourth week following #creative-sunday and on this occasion I want to share my collage work with simple and easy steps to try, after last week with Xerox effect this time with a Sci-Fi theme and our galaxy the Milky Way 🌌

While looking at photos in cyberspace for Creative Sunday inspiration, I found an old image about the Milky Way from the NYPL Digital Collection website and in an instant got the inspiration to make a digital collage about the arrival of aliens in ancient Egyptian times, it didn't take much material to make this collage - there were Sphinx, Pyramid, UFO and Alien 👽

I did this collage with Affinity Photo but the steps are not too complicated and can be applied to any software, then to create the GIF I used Photoscape.

Document size 1249 x 1600 pixels with 72dpi, I got this collage material from various image sources with hopefully a safe for work license that I will include at the end of the post.

Here is the Steps :

Background

For the background, I used an old image titled Part of the Milky Way: From a study made during the years 1874, 1875 and 1876 and sized the document according to the background image, then cropped the edges and enlarged the image.

Sphinx & Pyramid

Cut out the object as desired and then position it.

UFO & Aliens

then paste the UFO and alien, at the stage it is selection deliberately like that because later the layer mode will be changed, for smooth edges I Erase it by changing the brush size, opacity and flow settings.
