In response to the Alien Art Hive Community's Inktober Prompts that were part of their Cosmic Creations Edition #6 Contest, Cosmic Creations Edition #6 is LIVE: INKTOBER PROMPTS, members were encouraged to choose a prompt theme from the Inktober Prompts list for their entry into the contest.
After my entry into the contest with Prompt #17 - DEMON which I published on 9/23, I decided to take the Inktober concept one step further. I will focus on the remaining 30 Prompts on the list, beginning with Prompt #1. How fun the themes will be preparing my projects utilizing the mixed media art themes. If a Drabble story (100 words) or other flash fiction emerges, then all the more fun!
Below is my project for Inktober Prompt #19:
Ever silent in the background watching is the talented @castleberry. He's really just a good spirited, plump pumpkin with a kind heart and sunny disposition, bursting with pride as Hive alien artists and authors flow through the Community daily.
His alien Memes are famous for their unusual, but hilarious messages that assist in calming Alien artists who visits the Community and shares comments.
However, he can't linger. He must scrutinize the Aliens' projects, then pluck the hopefuls out one by one.
If qualified, the conveyor belt guides them into the Incubation Chamber of Awesomeness. There, they await the curation fire.
The Alien Overlord @juliakponsford looks on.
Is it worth the effort? Many Alien Hive members believe so with their steady stream of Alien projects.
The Community looks on, wondering Who will be next.
Thanks for all you do @castleberry and @juliakponsford for the Alien Art Hive Community.
My approach to the Inktober #19 - Plump prompt was one of humor for the Halloween season. Plump pumpkins are my theme that I use as a conveyor belt, moving the Community members along the line.
I use a variety of mixed media art to complete my project. The first is a stable diffusion program, StarryAI.

Other images that assisted in the Halloween scene were pumpkins, a witch stirring up chaos in the purification section, and a pure fractal I created in Apophysis 7X that represents the fire one must go through to obtain a ticket on the Incubation Bus Tour.
