Light Speed

I’m very pleased with this one.  It reminds me of a whip pan.  I’m wondering if there is a way to synthesize a whip pan video with AI?  I’ll have to look into this.  I bet you could make all kinds of cool stuff.  We need to get back to whip pans as transitions…

Originally this image was vertical.

It looked great that way but just as I was finishing color correcting I tried it horizontal and liked it even better!  Now I guess I have two versions.  I’m probably going to print this one and, well, I guess I could hang it on the wall any which way I wanted!

Synthetic Happiness

I was looking back at all the images I rendered with Midjourney over the last year and a half.  There’s some good stuff in there that got overlooked.  I actually rendered this last year (2022) with Midjourney version 3.

I could have opted to crop this square and make it all about the figure, but that is so boring and just like every other image on the internet.  This composition reminds me of art you would see on a gatefold vinyl LP double album from back in the day, with the front cover on the right and the back on the left, and the art continuously wrapping around.

The Horror

I finished two versions of this piece because I wasn’t sure which one was better.  This is the closer version:

The closer version would probably work better on social media, but I really like the wider version a lot better, especially since I’m trying to design my artwork to be printed big (poster size and larger.)

Part of me resents feeling like I have to constantly cater to people looking at stuff on the internet aka on their phones.  It really messes with my head when I’m trying to make creative decisions.  I think I have to actively resist the temptation to reduce everything to the least common denominator of what will get the most likes when viewed on a small screen.  It’s extremely limiting, not just because of the composition but also the subject matter.  What will get an immediate reaction so you get the most likes?  Subtly is lost and everything starts to look the same.

Social media really messes with your head.

The second piece of a new image series that deals with anxiety and confusion.  It’s about all those different voices inside our head that distract us from where we are, and where we’re going.

This is my first try at AI animation. I rendered it with Stable Diffusion and the Deforum plugin. I’m trying to see if I can create interesting shapes that morph from one object to another over time. There are a lot of amazing things going on in this short sequence, including a bit around 30 – 40 seconds where the objects at the bottom of the screen morph into a bizarre split screen. I love that kind of stuff.

It took about two hours to render out all the frames for this one minute video. I also rendered out six versions, changing the prompt and the render settings each time to get this one which was the best. That’s a lot of tedious rendering but I’m learning quite a bit.

 

I Made This!

I thought I had posted this last year when I made it.  This was created with Midjourney version 3 (that’s two versions ago!)  It was another accident while I was trying to do something else.  The accidents are always the best stuff.

I almost titled this “You are what you make” but that’s a little on the nose, don’t you think?
