Candid Cat Conversations

Michele B. Naquaiya

Cats are smart and independent as we all know. Here are a couple of buddies discussing what they’re going to do today, as well as life in general.

After tea, wanna go out and look for a few birds?
I’ll bet when we get out I can beat you to the gate!
Do the Roberts still live in the old farmhouse? I heard they had mice.
Did you ever wonder what it’s like living in an 18th century Chateaux?
I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of this cartoon life!
six months later ——See???? Piece of cake! I told you we could do it!!!!

We dropped by a few weeks later. Check this out!

fyi: I created this little story with prompts and my cat art. When I started putting it together, I had no idea where it was going. All I knew was I wanted a few different breeds of felines and a window with a window sill that I could cover with different fabrics, and a few outdoor views and weather conditions that told different stories. So the teapots eventually became samovars in France??? Doesn’t bother me. I added the idea and the text of Provence because it’s a dreamy place and Freepix offers cool instant graphics. The images become increasingly sophisticated as the story developed. This little story was created in Freepix AI. You can try it out. I’m getting a feel for it. I think with an extended plot , this could become something kind of precious.

This is my watercolor of Jake and Elroy. Collection of July Schlotman.

Your comments are appreciated and sharing is good too. It’s a new world out there and I’m in because I believe AI can help artists. Even artists like me.👌

Abby and her Laborador

Michele B. Naquaiya

Lots of people say it’s a funny thing how pets look like their owners and their owners look like their pets. Do you think Abby and her big laborador retriever look alike? Maybe they just look like they are having fun going on their morning walk. Can you guess where they live?

Are You Dizzy Yet??? Creating painting Scenarios in AI.

Michele B. Naquaiya

Here’s a little journey taking my original photo down fantasy lane. These are just some options of how AI interpreted my photo. Just one word change in the prompt leads to possibilities. Enjoy!!! If you have a favorite, let me know in the comments, I would love to hear about what you think.

This is My original photo of me in my studio drawing and painting. These are the materials I use a lot. I also use this grey and white Olfa board as a base most of the time. Observe closely how the AI interprets this background.
Version #1
Version #2
Version #3 – a little wilder with a color intensity change
version #4 changing the color palette
Version #5 a different point of view, now we have even big easles and a 3D look
Version #6 very imaginative with a new piano element
Thanks for looking. Let me know if you like these posts.

From a Sumo Wrestler to Cat Sumo Wrestler…Part 1.

Michele B. Naquaiya

I do as much research as I can. I take notes because I’m old school. First I see the idea in my head, but how to get there is not easy. I’m sharing because I guess that’s just who I am. Here are 2 prepared sketches done simply with magic markers.

That’s a lot of work for today. I’ll post this and then continue tomorrow for the next step. Please respect my art and do not steal. You are more than welcome to ask questions and I’ll reply. This method is something I create on a daily basis because I am trying to insert my personality into my AI creations. I don’t like copying from other people. Inspiration and copying are two different things.
