Rain! Heat ...Stuck inside.

Maybe my heart is in creativity in all shapes and forms.


I am not talented in drawing or painting. However I can make excellent stick figures and cartoonish figures.

Cartoon I did for Mules and More Magazine years ago. See? I can draw a line!


I read some articles debating the use of AI Art and some other articles which discussed the positive uses for AI in doing graphic art and commercial art. 

I've experimented so far with two AI generators. NightCafe and wombo. Both are free, both can be done from your computer or your smartphone. 




These are the simple AI art things a person can do.


I like to delve even further into the realm of 'interesting-ness'. I admit. It can be ho-hum and sort of pretty in a strange way. But since I was stuck with evading the heat and humidity, I thought I'd dabble in another form of abstract art. 

I went on a Horse kick and got this:


I mean most of this looks pretty and abstract. So I decided to get creative.
I combined two 'creations' from a photo of my favorite box elder tree in the winter.


I typed in Tree Ents for one image and Tree Ents with cottages for the second image using the above tree as a base image.
I combined the two to create my own mystical Tree Cottage.
It looks like some strange house straight out of a story like the Hobbit.

I can see where an AI application like this could be used to create a book cover, an album cover, or even perhaps a poster. [Each of the sites do offer prints for a pretty nice price and offer a way to sell your artwork as an NFT.] 

I could see this as a book cover!


I really wanted to create something with a horse in it so I went over to Nightcafe and started experimenting.

This looked like freaky flying horses with red farts.


It was not something I wished to work with. The one below looked vaguely like Wrath Horses stuck in a Swamp of Sorrow. 


The one below involved the words: Horses, clouds, angels, wings, 


...and something strangely creepy, but it held my attention with a ... 
This IS It!

I wanted something more dark and strange.
This was the original.


Here is the final edit.

I stopped right here because this exemplified what I thought was the definition of 
a
Nightmare.

Okay, this is not for everyone at all. I mean it has a certain scary awful dystopian feel to it. It is dark and a bit frightening.

I like scary movies though and this really resonated with me. It was all created with just words and then run through Artificial Intelligence and a Neural Network.


Let's end on some happy and cheery doodles.
Steam Punk Flowers and Clouds


What the dashboard of creation looks like:


Tropical Beach Cheerful Lifeforms...
I don't see the life forms, but at least it is cheerful and in the rather fantastical and weird style of Kincaid paintings. The colors are pretty, but I don't see any beach!

    1. I love scary! I'm hoping to watch the new Predator movie. But that's me. I am odd.

  2. Drawing cartoons is a talent. What is art is different for everyone. There are people who don't consider Jackson Pollack's work art. Or Picasso. You get the point. It's art if it makes you happy.

    1. I looked at Pollack's art and it is interesting that I saw 'stuff' in it even though there is no real subject in some of it. I think art is what pleases some and doesn't others.
      I'm just having some fun.
