AI assisted art

Anne is perfect!

I'm glad you like her!  She was very difficult to create.

I thought someone might enjoy this image from MidJourney:



The prompt was "young man and young woman sitting on bench on hill above post-apocalypse city, a masterpiece, 8k resolution, dark fantasy concept art, by Greg Rutkowski, dynamic lighting, hyperdetailed, intricately detailed, Splash screen art, trending on Artstation, deep color, Unreal Engine, volumetric lighting, Alphonse Mucha, Jordan Grimmer", and somehow the AI gave me an immune man sitting with a non-immune woman wearing a mask and making notes.  She isn't Tuuri since she has long reddish hair, but still ...

Awesome!!  You are really talented on this AI thing. 

I agree on Anne

[Jitter]

Wow that is totally cool!

The city seems more like a megapolis than any of our Nordic cities, maybe they are somewhere else else entirely? But a very SSSS scene and atmosphere!

[lwise]

Thank you both!

I thought it was probably NYC or some such megalopolis.

Here’s a good example of how and AI does not understand what the elements mean. At a glance it looks like a silly Christmas image (the setting was CGI character) but… the text is almost-but-not-quite (closer still than in several others), the elf has only one leg, the smaller elves are just jumbles of parts. It copies bits and pieces, but doesn’t know what makes sense, what is supposed to be there and what isn’t.

Another example of AI not understanding the concept:



The prompt was "man sits in horse-drawn Victorian carriage".  This is better than some of the others, but the horse is partially merged with the carriage, one wheel is angled off to the side, and I'm not sure what the man is sitting on.

Also his hands! And the extra? Driver’s? Hand behind him!

One thing that's frustrating about hands in MidJourney is that often the hands will look fine in the small version, but when I upscale it, the number of fingers doubles.  In a couple of cases, I've taken the small version, resized it, and copied a hand into the upscaled version, since the upscaled version otherwise looks good.

"Plutonium is a dense, heavy metal with a high atomic mass, whereas feathers are much lighter and less dense, with a lower atomic mass. As a result, 53 kilos of feathers, which is equal to 53,000 grams, would weigh significantly more than 53,000 grams of plutonium."

... you know, I'd find this counterpoint more convincing if it didn't immediately remind me of the ca. 2000 years it took us humans to rid ourselves of a certain other misconception in that field ...

I'm not sure what the man is sitting on.

Seeing that he's apparently larger than a horse, whatever he wants to.

Pastor Anne's face is perfection!  It's hard to tell with Admiral Olsen, since in canon he spent most of his limited screen time with his mouth comically wide open.  Giggling at the Christmas elves and the hoarse-drawn  carriage.

Since we're showing off failures, I thought you might like this one:



The prompt was "heavenly angel, julie bell, bouguereau , walking beside golden retriever, art composition".

I actually really like it in a surreal sort of way, but it wasn't exactly what I asked for.

Ohai Poochriel ...

[Jitter]

Oh yeah, it’s beautiful! But also…

Btw looking at the hands again, she apparently is an angel (of) beast(s).

You know, you may find interest and inspiration in some of the works of Dr John Dee, Elizabethan-era our-world mage, who wrote some fascinating stuff on the subject of non-standard angels. Not my style, but I worked my way through his ‘Hieroglyphic Monad’ for the linguistic insights. Also, nice art!
