The paradise dilemma and other things that happened while I was making my collage. My participation for Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 78
A version of Paradise?
Since I started participating in the LMAC contests, Let's Make a Collage(there the last call for entries, and we are already on round 78, I have made a few versions of paradise. I remember at least three. Maybe my collage today is the fourth version.
Is it a future paradise or is it an allegory of paradise lost? I don't know. I do know that I have put Phobos, one of the Martian satellites, hidden and that I have put an antique representation of the Christmas tree, conveniently upholstered with orange roses.
The photo by @shaka is beautiful. I wanted my collage to be all that blue and those amazing textures and colors of the leaves and slime. So I took that lake and turned it into sky and put a galaxy in there. There is room for a galaxy in @shaka's lake. That photo is that beautiful.
My Adam and my Eve
My Adam and Eve are black and, behind them, there is a small scene of elephants. They mark a point of origin. According to one of the most widely accepted theories of man's origin, our earliest ancestors come from Africa. These elements to highlight this message may be a bit crude, but I hope they are clear.
The counterpoint is in the futuristic city in the background.
And so the dilemma around my paradise was built.
Building genitals
It's not my lousy English, that's how you read it. I don't know what technical or puritanical flaw my version of Make Human has, but I can't give characteristics to my characters' genitalia.
Women and men display a featureless pelvis. Maybe some hair when I choose very black skins, but no vulvas and no penises, so my Adam was as asexual as a billiard ball.
And nothing, I took my digital paintbrush and fabricated proper genitalia for them.
I didn't borrow any genitalia images for my collage. You can imagine my computer screen when I did the search...
What unusual paths @shaka takes us down in the pursuit of art!
See you next time.

The Zamuros are mine
Todo paraíso necesita guardianes.
Beautiful and dreaming. Happy and blessed day
Thank you so much, mi querido @felixgarciap! Te debo unos cuantos poemas!
🙌😁🙌
Hello, excellent your collage regarding the theory of the origin of man. Our ancestors are evidently a mixture of people such as blacks, mestizos and whites. Good luck in the contest.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for that flying saucer ride.
Amazing creativity and skill on display.
Gracias querida @agmoore. Eres la mejor de las almas gemelas del collage.
Abrazos
Jejejeje me encanto el tema de tu collage y lo curioso de todo lo que representa, me parece súper interesante la historia de la creación del hombre del génesis y por supuesto Adán y Eva hay tantas historias en torno a ellos que resulta ser fascinante.... me dio risa el tema de los genitales jejeje también he dibujado penes y pues al principio la cosa resulta graciosa,en mi caso pues tuve que echar un par de miraditas al de mi esposo para hacerlo lo más real posible jejeje 🙈... excelente post amiga mucha suerte en el concurso..y 🤗
jajajajaja... @berlissanoja, tenía que contarlo porque fue demasiado. Peleando con el programa y no salía sino un muñequito liso. Al final me fui por una representación discreta,que era lo que necesitaba. Tengo que resolver ese problema porque no me veo preguntándole a @quantumg por esos detalles 🤣
Jajajajaja eso me ha pasado cuando trabajo con imágenes 3D al final me reí mucho porque el primer modelo que hice era muy grande y me tocó reducirlo jejejeje aquí te dejo el enlace 😂😂😂
This is a very creative, artistic and beautiful interpretation of the paradise.
I especially like how carefully you designed the spatial depth of the scene. 👍
Well done and good luck to you! :-)
If you have installed the MakeHuman-Community version, that's no big deal.
Just open MakeHuman-Community, switch to the tab "Community". Then select "Asset type"="Proxy" and type keywords like "penis" or "genitals" into the "Title contains" input field. Then press enter. This will show you a list of proxy topologies.
Click on an item in this list and then on the download button (to the upper right side). You can find the downloaded proxies then in the "Geometrics"->"Topology" tab.
You can do the same with the asset type "material". All stuff you downloaded from this list then can be found in the list of the "Materials" tab.
I hope this helped you a bit.
More detailed genitals can be made in Blender after you finish your model in MakeHuman.
Dear @quantumg, how kind of you. Thank you for addressing my question in such detail. For the next occasion of naked people I know what to do.
Hopefully someday I can teach you something.
I have learned a lot of things from you.
Thank you very much, you are a sunshine.
