AI art

My most important use for AI-generated art

To amuse me. If it makes me laugh (or smile), I’m good.

Yesterday, a discussion in Discord lead to speculation over whether the Sasquatch had arrived in Australia via dugout canoe1This started when someone in my gaming group, who is going on a trip to Australia soon, noted “my research has indicated that there’s a Bigfoot like cryptid called the Yowie that lives in Australia“. I asked Adobe Firefly to produce illustrated proof of this, and behold:

Also, I just generally love the way Firefly depicts the Sasquatch

This is all I really need AI to do when it comes to art. Sasquatches in canoes.

Bigfoot eating pancakes

Adobe has gotten into the text AI business and claims their system avoids the whole “using artistic works without the artist’s permission” thing–which is great! They’ll probably attach a hefty subscription price to the service once it’s out of beta, which is…vintage Adobe.

For now, it’s free, and I’m in the beta, so here is Bigfoot eating pancakes on a sunny outdoor deck.

ChatGPT weird drawing prompt #5: A spaceship shaped like a giant slice of pizza

A star destroyer would have been perfect, but maybe too perfect, so I went with this retro thing, with rivets and all. But piloted by a giant alien (the satellite provides scale).

Five prompts to go!

Name 10 weird things to draw

  1. A two-headed unicorn
  2. A giant potato wearing a top hat and monocle
  3. A house made entirely of cheese
  4. A robot with a pet dragon
  5. A spaceship shaped like a giant slice of pizza
  6. A mermaid riding a unicycle
  7. A palm tree with arms and legs
  8. A giant hamster in a tutu
  9. A cactus wearing a sombrero and a bow tie
  10. A chicken playing the drums

ChatGPT Weird drawing prompt #4: A robot with a pet dragon

I did both the dragon and robot without any reference. I think this means I’ve seen a lot of dragons over the years, which is impressive when you consider they don’t exist.

ChatGPT Weird drawing prompt #3: A house made entirely of cheese

As the title says. I actually completed a full version of this prompt yesterday and decided to scrap it and start over. I like this version more. I may have a “rejects for your amusement” post after I’ve gone through all ten prompts.

ChatGPT Weird drawing prompt #1: Two-headed unicorn

I can’t draw horses or unicorns, so I did this really quickly to cover. Also, I couldn’t decide what colour a two-headed unicorn would be and settled on dusty pink!

UPDATE: I found the original art appallingly amateurish and have removed it. That’s what I get for using my imagination only!

UPDATE #2: Added the manes, which I originally forgot. I’m not a unicorn expert, what can I say.

Here’s a new version, using an actual horse as reference, done in my Bird Art™ style:
