The Lumbering Leviathan

in Alien Art Hive3 years ago (edited)

....These 'Leviathans' were used for sea and space faring mostly. Once the Sentients discovered everything that was worth discovering (according to them at least), they semi retired the Leviathans to house huge communities of close knit, like thinking individual Sentients. The Leviathans could of course be brought back to space faring capabilities if the need should ever arise but these days they mostly lumber along the ground...

Hello everyone, hope you are doing fine. Here's another AI generated landscape from the artbreeder website. This is the lineage link : https://www.artbreeder.com/lineage?k=1ab17b39b17c273c30ca7ce42d8b
and I am atv8802.

The artbreeder website seems to be easier to use than VQGAN+CLIP once you get the hang of it. It also produces more coherent results without the tiling issues that I get with VQGAN. I am not even sure that I have fully utilised the capabilities of artbreeder. Will post more as I learn more. Thanks for reading. See you in the next one!

Wow that's pretty trippy and pretty damn awesome too!

Great work.

I have just opened artbreeder cause I have never heard of it before and now you have made me really curious to check it out too.

Thanks so much for sharing and I look forward to seeing more of your productions.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement and for checking it out :)
. Artbreeder simplifies ai art to a great extent.

Oh you are more than welcome!

Can't wait to see more.

I'll do my best :)

Wow, so how long have you been on there now??

I just checked it out and my mind is blown, so much that I'm going to create myself an account tomorrow!

It looks likes so much fun!

the only thing that worries me is that they state in the T&C that Your use of Artbreeder is at your sole risk. While Artbreeder attempts to make your

So have you ever had any or heard of any bad experiences like this since you've been using it?

And so just to clarify, I can take images on there created by other people and manipulate them into my own image, which stay up there and then someone else can come in and use my image and just keep manipulating images over and over again..? because there are all in the public domain. Did I get that right?

So is there a clear rule about using an images that I have created to upload everywhere else on the net, like Peakd, maybe my online store to sell.... that type of thing....can that be doe do you know?

No need to answer my question now though, so don't panic.

I have to go to bed as it's nearly 1am and I've been up since 7am...lol...

And as much as I want to get onto it first thing tomorrow, I won't have the time till late afternoon probably...so like I said, no need to hurry and answer now! Have fun and enjoy the rest of your day/night instead...😃

And thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it! 🙏🙏🙏

Glad that you checked out the website. I have been there on the website for almost 2 weeks and it has been fun! I mostly use VQGAN+CLIP for AI art generation though. But for portraits, art breeder is the best. I recommend that you try it out as soon as possible. And when you have got a hang of it, I suggest that you try out VQGAN+CLIP too.

Regarding the security risks, I haven’t had any bad experience till now. The website seems to have a valid security certificate. I have downloaded around 5 of the generated images and haven’t noticed anything odd till now.

Regarding the use of images, that is what their FAQ section says. All images are public domain, CC0. So, you can use the images as you like. There is an option to make your images private too; others will not be able to see them then.
The exact answer in their FAQ is :

All images are public domain (CC0) and may be used for commercial purposes. It is strongly suggested that you cite the Artbreeder image URL when sharing something that strongly resembles an Artbreeder image. Private mode is available for subscribers to ensure the images are not used by others.

I usually include the image lineage URL just to keep things clear. Since they are CC0 images, we can use them commercially too.

I really hope that you read this reply in the morning, after a good night's rest, and not now. It is difficult to not reply when someone shares a similar enthusiasm regarding the infinite possibilities that AI has to offer. Most people that I show my results to are like, "OK...". Apologies in advance if I do end up waking you.

There are around half a dozen people here experimenting with AI in the Alien Art community and all are very helpful in sharing their progress and tips. In fact, @jotakrevs has modified the VQGAN+CLIP notebooks and made it available for all to use.

Have a good night and a good day tomorrow. I will be waiting to see what you do with AI :). It is so infectious, this enthusiasm, at least for some of us.

It is my pleasure to be of some help and it is because others have guided me that I am doing this now. See you later, good night :)

Wow, thanks so much for your prompt answer!

I can certainly see all of the amazing possibilities with software like this (since I can't draw to save my life..lol...) And now you have really sent me down the YT rabbithole of both artbreeder and VQGAN+CLIP tutorials...🤣 ....

I just thought that art like this was created by very talented people who know photoshop a whole lot better than I do...I actually posted a couple of images in the Alien art hive, but only things that I done while literally fiddling about with controls in ps, like these ones here...https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@chocolatescorpi/alien-art-what-was-it and https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@chocolatescorpi/the-alien-octocactii and https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@chocolatescorpi/buddha-being-blessed-blessing-all-of-us-on-hive and my favourite here https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@chocolatescorpi/alien-brains

So wow, you have certainly given me some great direction and I look forward to seeing much more of you and your art here too!

And this one of yours here is my fave! https://www.artbreeder.com/i?k=b7488e6c88d0a06a361f01c4a24b

I'm a sucker for dark, eerie, mysterious forests full of haunted and/or witches houses...lol...like this one here by @bambuka...https://peakd.com/hive-178708/@bambuka/dacha-of-georg-mesmakher-18-photos and trippy, colourful, unique artwork too!

So thank you so much once again @lavista !!!

I really appreciate all of your help here!

And am checking out @jotakrevs page now too thanks!!!
