LMAC158: The Dream Machine

Hello everyone! 😎

That's my entry to the Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 158 - 146 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.

This collage is for anyone who has trouble sleeping. If you look at it long enough, you will definitely fall asleep. When I finished it, I fell asleep straight away.
How is that possible?
I don't even know how, but try.

The creation process

The collage is created in Photoshop.
First, the background. From the base image, I deleted all unnecessary elements and added a background, a desert which I twisted, a tree from the base image multiplied and further deformed, added a face of a character plagued by insomnia, and added a steampunk machine.

Then I added the other elements I had arranged earlier and finally the tiger for the danger in the dream because when you feel danger, you wake up. :)

Hope you have fun!
