Alphabet Letters

Two completely different styles. The T is a hand drawn pen and in on watercolor paper. The H is ai generated with the same angle as the T, only done in an elaborate setting. I’m getting very interested in Illuminated Manuscripts, working with detailed images and gold leaf. If you can stretch your imagination, maybe you can see that the manipulated H letter had it’s seed from the whimsical T. It’s true. Thats the miracle of ai. The other fascinating part is that ai will never, ever copy your original and then give you an enhanced modification of the original. You would have to rewrite the prompt many times, perhaps get close, but never will satisfy copying the original. So I’m going with the flow and I keep hunting and digging. It’s like looking for burried treasure. Here’s another letter, the capital D from the same seed:

A very cool original floral painting put through AI

Here is my friend Lori’s beautiful artwork of a hybiscus flower.

I have uploaded it to only one AI platform. It has so many varients, I am just using this one to provide some examples.

This is how one platform saw it with a digital art style, on a subtle (lowest setting) interpretation.

This is the prompt it created from the artwork it saw. “A vibrant and colorful close-up of a large hibiscus flower with intricate petals in shades of orange, red, and yellow against a blurred green and blue background”

Here is the same artwork viewed with a different art style. This one is “watercolor” on a high intensity or wild setting

Here is the same flower with a “cyberpunk” setting on vivid intensity

This one is done with a “comic” style and vivid intensity. I chose this one because it was the most different.

This one is Japanese style art interpretation.

Please note I have never touched or changed one word of the 1st prompt it gave me. That prompt usually has 2 or 3 varients that give you an additional way on how to change the image. This flower is orange, one varient could be you change the color of the flower. You can imagine how many more images you can create, just by changing one word.

As you can see, when you load your image into AI, it will NEVER, NEVER look like the original you loaded. The first generation it gives you back will always be the closest to your original image you loaded. That is because the image on the screen is an interpretation through words of the visual you provided. Once you begin to understand how the AI works or “thinks”, you can begin to get the idea and have more control on what you create with this powerful tool. The image you create is yours to modify and keep and post to different platforms, put on products, make videos, etc etc. Of course, there are debates on what you actually own, have copyright on, etc. etc. but that’s a whole other topic.

AI can be like a stewing pot of ideas

Here is today’s challenge to myself. I drew a small scratchboard panel 5″x7″ in black and white. It is just a doodle done with an exacto blade and a fiberglass brush tool.

I uploaded the artwork to a few AI platforms with different styles and filters. Here are two results that I got that I liked and edited in Canva to add some text. I made up the Lotus Cafe just for fun. I picture these as signs hanging in front of a cute little espresso cafe.

Comments are welcome. This is a new venture for me and I’m interested to see if you can picture these as outdoor signs.
