Okay this is another mix that gets neat… take a little garden wisdom/orchard care, mix a little mythic hippocampus.
Top Left: DAZ3D render. I got this beauty on sale! One of the things I love about the older models is how Toy-Like they are. I learned a lot about re-texturing on this creature. This image worked out the best.
I also love the DAZ3D props and scenes, the older models remind me of modelled terrain, as you might see in a model train museum or miniatures used in table top role playing games.
Is it “My Art?”
My set layout, choice in lighting, sky dome props elements, virtual landscaping. I put a few hours into placing and set and many more hours rendering to see the results. Much like photography it takes a lot of images to capture the best shots.
I was working with Leonardo.Ai and training augmenting images with their models, learning from the other Players, studying the prompts the better art spawned from.(darn dangling participle.)
I was loading a lot of my old art just to see what Leonardo.Ai would do with it. Playing with the prompts, dials and toggles!! The row of flowers upper-right is a quilt block, fabric scanned and arranged in Adobe Photoshop. Followed by different models in the Ai. The image lower-right is one of my favorite outputs from the hippocampus experiments.
I love that Leonardo.Ai matches the palette of the image prompt. I have had a lot of fun mixing things up.
Is it My Art?
Which artist am I “stealing” from?
Whose art style?
Who is losing money from this?
This Artist [me] can see so much potential in what these apps are making. I don’t understand why there is so much shame being attached to Ai art.
My joke here is about Renaissance Scribes getting upset at Maillardet’s Automaton, Gutenberg’s press, Sholes & Glidden QWERTY crank box or Xerox’s contraption.
It’s not the TOOL that is the problem.
The tool is a celebration of ingenious programmers building something extraordinary
that empowers artists to experiment in next level materials >>>> past Ink /Paint/Clay/Canvas.
We are sculpting in light and algorithm.
How Cyberpunk is THAT?
P.S. Let me tell you a bit more about Jane and why she is such a Hero to me.
