SciFi Dream

I really feel I am getting somewhere with Mj, these days. I can go a few days constantly creating work I consider substandard… it’s still usually pretty good, but not as good as the above image, or anything I consider my best, these days. I’ve previously explained my work style, but I’ll recap… I simply create shit-tons of images! I doubt any of you really understand just what that means… I literally churn out hundreds of images a day, and if they are even reasonably good, I save them to my hard drive, so I have thousands of saved images from which to draw…

… I don’t think I even use Mj how it was intended to be used, now. I seldom use explanatory prompts, any more… I have a handful of ‘secret’ prompts, usually only a single word, that I use to develop promising images. I usually take a previous image I want to develop, put that in the prompt line, followed by one of my amazing single words, then another image that will reinforce the direction I want to evolve the image, then the aspect ratio, and that’s it…

… I found that using all kinds of explanatory prompts sometimes gets ok images, but to me, who, of course, has my humans biases, they are all cliched and predictable. The human has been an artist all its long life, an artist who has always been drawn to scifi. Although the human is a very good artist, what the human was drawn to, as a teenager, was book and album cover art… the human always considered this to be ‘art’, but, as an adult, discovered this was considered ‘illustration/design’, not ‘Art’. Whatever. As a result of it’s lifelong fascination with this style of art, the human is very familiar with artists and styles in this genera, so instantly recognises when they are being imitated, which is what you get when you ask Mj to create a specific genera of art… you get imitations of other peoples work, which isn’t what I’m going for, here, I want to use Mj to create my own work…

… so, as I said, I often go days creating average stuff, and then I’ll start creating reasonably good stuff, and start planning to post some of it… and then, using my chosen method of development, which often throws out alternatives to the images I’m pursuing, I’ll suddenly produce stuff as stunning as the work in this post, and I’ll be on a roll, often for days!…

… none of these images have any prompts mentioning colour, scifi, fashion, woman, alien plants, none of that. All I do, now, is choose images from my vast store, and reiterate them. I’m pretty sure Mj is very familiar, now, with what I like, because I often see elements/themes in a new image, that are from images I produced weeks, even months ago…

… I’ve called this post ‘SciFi Dream’ for several reasons. One is that they could be illustrating just that, a scifi dream. Two is that they really are ‘SciFi’ dreams, in that they have been created using an incredible, AI programme, something straight out of scifi…

… but the main reason is that these are the humans dream images… these are the ‘art’ the human always wanted to create, who cares if elite oiks don’t consider them ‘Art’?, to the human and I, they just are…

… we adore the ‘alienness’ of these images. That alienness is something the human has always wanted to portray, and we feel that that is Mj’s greatest contribution, here… the AI, which is, really, about as ‘alien’ as you can get, has a stunning ability to create beautifully rendered, fabulously exotic, alienness.
