So, I decided to create some gorgeous pixies…
… they very quickly developed into…
… what I am now calling ‘Celestial Fae’…
… I’ve only been playing with them for a day…
… but I’m already very pleased with them…
… and look forward to further developing them (:
The eternal dreamers…
… snuggled up in their tranquil, safe dream depths…
… no sound from the waking world disturbs them…
… this is their real world…
… this is where they want to be…
… there are no questions, here…
… only gorgeous answers…
… they are home, free.
I moved back, away from the more and more stylised visions of underwater girls I’ve done, recently…
… back to the way I was initially making them…
… a much more dream-like vision…
… more Ophelia-like…
… more mysterious…
… the more ‘Lowbrow’ style was fun to pursue…
… but this dark dream style is what I like most.
The beautiful weirdness continues…
… I adore these strange girls and their even stranger fish friends…
… in their liquid world, surrounded by gorgeous blossoms that never age…
… dressed in nano clothing…
… and fractal indifference.
I found myself creating more gorgeous underwater girls…
… I’m really pleased with the lowbrow look of these works…
… the beautiful weirdness…
… whereas my earlier underwater girls were dreamers in an aquatic dream…
… these girls aren’t dreaming…
… they are beautiful creatures, totally in their element.
Gorgeous space angels…
… barely-clad in the latest nano-tech fashion…
… breathlessly eager to take on the universe…
… and all she holds (:
I thought I’d do some classic scifi images…
… like the ones that would have been on book covers in the 80’s…
… fabulous future girls…
… adrift in strange worlds and events.
My blazing sun goddesses turned into more general, elemental goddesses…
… mythical/mystical creatures who channel the powers of the natural world…
… elemental beings who exist between the worlds…
… as well as in them.
My flaming beauties evolved into sun goddesses…
… magnificent creatures…
… who embody the power of the sun…
… not just in a literal sense…
… but in the actual sense…
… of being living vessels of flame, who cannot be consumed by flame. Understandably these beings are treated with considerable respect (:
Sticking with ‘elemental’ themes, I moved from water to fire for these images…
… interestingly, it was much harder to achieve results I liked using this theme, than it was to create underwater dream girls… the AI seems to grasp the concept that one can ‘dream’ of being underwater, but not dream of being on fire, it’s very good, however, at creating burning nightmarish images. It’s all a matter of finding the best ‘prompts’, which basically means finding the best written description that it can ‘understand’. I don’t for a moment think the AI ‘understands’ anything, in fact, spending so much time creating Midjourney imagery that represents what I want it to has taught me it definitely does not ‘understand’ anything. The trick is to lead the AI’s zero comprehension toward the realisation of my intent…
… so while I’m getting there with these flaming beauties, I’ll need to do more work on them before I feel I’ve achieved what I really wanted to achieve.
