Splinterlands Fan Art : Lyanna Natura - image manipulation and AI assisted art

in Alien Art Hive2 years ago

Hello everyone, hope you are doing fine. Thanks to my legendary artistic skills, I resorted to AI generated art and image manipulation to make this Lyanna Natura inspired art.

The above image is the final image produced after all my image manipulations.

I first tried to produce a decent image with the Midjourney AI tool by giving appropriate prompts, but the best I could generate were these two images:

They are pretty good by themselves, especially the first one. But they still look AI generated. Then I resorted to using some cc0 images from pexels.com and used this image :

I used the above image on Deep Dream Generator to generate a deep styled image using my first AI generated image as the style image. The result was this :

Pretty neat I would say!

I then tried to mix the above DDG image with my AI generated images on the GIMP software but as soon as I loaded one of the images, it would become unresponsive. I have never used Krita for image manipulation really, so now was the time to try it.

It was pretty intuitive and I didn’t really end up looking for how to do certain things online. After a few hours of trying to make the final result look decent, the first image in this post is what I ended up with.

I used the following AI generated image too for the background and foreground stuff.

Hope you liked the result :). Thanks for reading, see you in the next one!

Hey, I'm several months late to this post, but you've done a great job with this and something that I hope lots of qualified (and talented) artists will do with Mid Journey and other AI platforms in the future.

Taking the output of the machine and refining it to align with our artistic vision not only democratises the act of artistic creation, but I think can also further our artistic endeavours.

Hey, thank you so much for checking it out and taking time to appreciate it too:).

Taking the output of the machine and refining it to align with our artistic vision not only democratises the act of artistic creation, but I think can also further our artistic endeavours.

Yes, that is exactly my hope too. There is a fight going on right now between AI and non - AI artists... Why not combine? It can only enhance art...

Exactly! Those with an understanding of the underlying theories and components that seperate art from "Art" will certainly excel using this as a tool. Just as those who might go to one of those wine and paint nights where they create a replica of a classic painting may not understand its significance from a academic standpoint, there's a significant gap to those that do.

Deep analysis and very well put! Happy to read this:)
If you see the 'wars' that go on on Twitter, you end up wondering what exactly is 'Art' or art. I am actually not from an art background but even to me it is clear that ai tools are just another means to a vast ocean that is art. I don’t understand why it has to be accessible to only a privileged few. But these are my thoughts and not all feel the same. And I can understand that.

I think not caring what other people think all that much and focusing on the work itself is what truly and really matters. Creators and artists will create and work on their passion no matter what other people think. It can border on an obsession for many.

I love fairies.

The Midjourne departures, especially number 2 is beautiful.

I still like to experiment with the images, to give my personal touch.

The last one is beautiful, it's a mix of a Scifi fairy.

Thank you so much:)
Yeah, I too am trying to modify the images a little these days to make them better...
