Our recent foray into Pre-Raphaelite-flavoured confection has entirely flavoured our ongoing play…
… we call this style ‘Neo-Raphaelitism’…
… it’s another dimension…
… no-one knows how they got here…
… or what they are even waiting for…
… but it feels right.
So… we put a lot of work into these gorgeous creatures…
… we wanted fabulous Pre-Raphaelite dreamy romanticism, water, beautiful Victorian gowns…
… and, of course, ethereally gorgeous Pre-Raph babies…
… if you’ve followed our Mj creativity rules, you’ll know we try very hard not to use cliched prompts, because the results are always cliched imagery…
… so we spent hours approaching these sleeping beauties by stealth, creating watery worlds (we love doing water in Mj) with reeds and lilies, without mentioning ‘Pre-Raphaelite’ in our prompts…
… until the last few hours, when we put ‘ophelia’ and ‘pre-Raphaelite’ into the prompts of the almost perfect images we had created, and these are the results…
… a wonderful collection of of Victorian maidens, contentedly sleeping in lily-filled swamps. We also have, as a spin-off from this exercise, a huge amount of less conventional ‘Ophelia-like’ imagery to develop.
There are endless, branching manifestations to pursue in Mj…
… it’s not just you, the user, but Mj itself…
… you are endlessly drawn to new permutations…
… it’s all good (:
We’ve been focusing on floral fashion accoutrements…
… loving the richness of what can be ‘imagined’…
… we spun so many side-projects, creating these…
… we have material for several posts…
… which we shall soon post.
We just adore being able to create images like these…
… exquisite beauty…
… and fabulous colours and textures…
… a world of gorgeousness.
Really enjoying our renewed play with Mj…
… we are getting better results than we did a year ago…
… which we suspect is totally down to…
… the evolution of the software.
We continue…
… to enjoy…
… creating these ethereal beings…
… of other-worldly beauty…
… and grace.
While Woodland Fae are hibernating, they are actually existing in another realm…
… this is the realm where they are one with everything that is the substance of their environment…
… they are part of the forest light, part of the woodland pool…
… they are home.
We have been working the transformative concept of Faerie hibernation…
… the idea of little woodland Fae physically melding with their environment as they sleep away the Winter…
… while they exist in this state, the Fae themselves are in an alternate reality… they are living in their dreams…
… the forest they serve has reclaimed the magical stuff that their beautiful little bodies are made of…
… not only do they never age, in this state, they regenerate… when they awake in the Spring, they are actually brand new… ageless souls reborn into a perfect, rebuilt body.
