Wow did you make the art yourself?
It is a digital collage, with the main elements (background and figure) that I ai generated, and then for the figure I blended in a different face, all placed within a border that I sourced online. Many sites that used to offer these things for free and without requiring attribution have now changed, needing you to register and give credit card info and also demanding attribution even for a single flower, which would complicate everything ridiculously, as some of my designs have many ephemera in them, and cataloguing everything to keep track of them is already challenging. Generating my own backgrounds and main figures really sped up the whole design process for me, because then blending those two things together became a lot easier, since the colour palettes were already compatible to my preferences.

Also, if you are interested to see more, you could open by clicking to "toggle" my signature, where I have
Scripture Art linked, showing my designs since I started pretty much totally green (LOL) in 2018, though
I am quite far behind in being up to date there. Late last year I took a bit of a hiatus from this site, and
at that time I started putting old poetry to music, and then moved into collecting Scripture verses around
specific themes, before I then began composing original material that I would call devotional modern
praise and worship testimonials. I am thinking I need to categorize each song so people know which
is what, though the YouTube descriptions themselves more or less identity each.

This post (<= click) shows a bit of my collage design process.
 
Not only that, but you've already met another Canadian believer.
Magenta is a remarkable Visual and Music Artist.
I recommend subbing to Her YouTube Channel <
Thank you for the recommendation, and your support! I am amazed that my life took this turn LOL.
My channel says I have 64 videos, but some had corrections made to them or were simply updated
from when I first started late last year and knew nothing about video creation, so what is visible to
the public is a little less than 64... it may be closer to 50 because even subtracting the ones people
cannot see because I marked them private, there may be one or two done in different genres where
I left the original in case anyone prefers it, such as with "With Brand In His Fire," first done in male
voice in Memphis Blues' clap and stomp genre, and then I redid it in a female voice. Sometimes
penning the right genre is more difficult than actually writing the song! It can be crazy making. :ROFL:

Uh, no, not with brand in His fire, haha the title is, "A Brand In His Fire." My apologies.

Yep. 8.5 hours and counting fighting with ai to get a decent generation from the song I wrote today.
 
You have heard that one already, no worries, even I forget my song titles haha. Today's song is called The Garden. :)
Since Im sleep deprived, my memory is weak.
I probably shouldn't have screen time now, but too bored just lying in bed.

Will try to remember to listen to that one at my meal tomorrow.

Hey, no worries, I am still fighting with ai to give me something decent from my lyrics and style prompts,
I even just singed up to a third generator hoping this would improve my odds, but the song version that
I signed up to be "unlocked" remains locked: I can only hear one minute of a more than four minute track...

this feels so wrong to me, and just more of the general crazy making I have put up with for four months now.

I should probably just go to bed myself. But, if I gave up easy? I would have zero songs.

You've produced so many songs already that you should be getting some help with exposure from YouTube, hopefully soon. I don't really know anything about it other than what a few channels have said. Yesterday a lady explained the process how to get monetized and begin getting paid. It sounded simple, but was 6 steps.

Well, that part is not really interesting to me at this point, although I did very recently watch part of a video on things to avoid, but it seemed more oriented to people making copy-cat info/political/entertainment style stuff (celeb gossip)... I am more concerned with my song writing, like, are my songs good? I do think most of them are, and would love it if they garnered a wider audience over time. Who they might appeal to is a different matter altogether, of course modern praise and worship is not everybody's cup of tea, totally understood, and I do provide a rather wide assortment of genres, but I also know people's attention spans are not lengthy, for instance, someone might listen to a few seconds of one song and think they are all like that haha. They would be so wrong. LOL. Anyways, it sure keeps me occupied and I love the final result enough to put up with all the crazy-making, after all... like herding cats, as I say. ;) :giggle:
