AI art – Page 5 – Painting Mexico

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.

Victorian setting, mirrored images mystery

Here are two images I’m developing. Tell me which one you like better. I’m thinking they look a little creepy with these old and faded wildflowers. . Maybe that’s good. If they were fresh flowers the scenes would be more normal, or uplifting. But I’m not really looking for normal. I’m thinking this could be like a snapshot from a short mystery fiction. If you leave your ideas in the comments, that would be nice. This AI is not easy and I’m appreciating good feedback. thanx

This experiment in AI turned out kind of cool. It teaches me that the background can be a big influence on the subject. Heck, I knew that anyway, but I’ve never really played with it before in AI. What do you think? She was generated with only a word prompt.

Somebody has had enough of living in a fruit closet. She wants “out”. Isn’t she clever?
I like my art to tell a story. Let me know if you come up with a story you’ve created around the art in your comment. thanx for looking.

Draw and paint analog vs draw and paint digital… What’s the difference?

This is my 2 minute sketch in pencil of my friend’s little corgi dog. As you can see, it’s super quick because all I wanted to do was to get his likeness down fast. If I’m lucky, I can pick up some of his personality. Notice the stance and point of view of the little guy. In the following shots, you will see that the AI engine has kept to the sketch, just applying various styles and filters to it. The point is that to get from the pencil sketch to the AI finished work is this: it’s the same image done digitally instead of manually. There is an additional trick about AI is that you don’t even need to make a pencil sketch first. You can describe what you want through words, and of course this is a prompt: aka specific verbal instructions to tell the engine what to do.
On a personal level, I am experimenting by reworking lots of my old art into AI to expand my knowledge. What I’m finding is it’s a lot of fun. You don’t have to if you don’t want to. Isn’t that nice. Here are some versions of our little corgi friend.
