Birddog Creations: Sueños Andaluces by Birddog

I created this piece for an open call for works inspired by Salvador Dalí, particularly drawing inspiration from his involvement in the 1929 French silent short film "Un Chien Andalou," directed by Luis Buñuel. While my primary references and inspiration came from this film, you'll also discover subtle references to Dalí's other iconic works within my piece. I thought about listing them all, but I've decided to leave it to your keen eye to spot them. I also added a few of my own elements as well which I wanted to include in the piece.

This was a combination of Midjourney renders with a looooot of Photoshop generative fill and adjustments. I spent most of the time refining the details and making sure all the elements fit in. Luckily black and white is forgiving and allows me to edit things quite easily without having to worry about color matching.

Unfortunately it was not selected for the open call but I loved working on it and didn't want it to get lost in the archives.
