Battle for Babel AI series

 Leonardo.Ai did a rather good job of creating these epic images of the Tower of Babel in flames. As you may know, I've depicted the tower in many pieces, but these came out very cinematically, and, as I mentioned, epic.

Airship Battle (AI generated)

 This is a case where the text prompt turned up quite amazing images with little to no editing required...below are 2 versions of the image.

Narcissus in the Pool (AI generated)

 Here's another image I've been playing with, a Narcissus variation. I used Leonardo Ai's "Canvas" feature to interactively draw parts of the image, & also used text prompts to define it.

Colossus Variation (AI generated image)

 Sometimes, using Leonardo Ai, it manages to achieve good results very quickly. Other times, I have to give up on it & assume it doesn't understand what I'm trying to evoke. In the case below, it did a pretty good job, all 4 of the original images generated were potentially usable. This one could ideally use a bit of tweaking, the giant foot of the subsidiary sculpture stands out, as does the inconsistency of sailing vessels depicted...but that's part of the fun of AI.

A new Tumblr blog for the AI artwork

 I've just created a new Tumblr blog to hold my AI artwork. You can find it at aytonai.tumblr.com. I'll be uploading more work as time goes on. Check it out.

End of Empire (AI generated image)

 Here is another AI experiment from Leonardo.Ai. I find that it takes many edits to get a good image, so while this is in many ways quick & automatic, there are a lot of wasted images. I also find that the AI responds quite well to poetic or "nonsense" prompts...

Empyrean -- AI animation

This is my first attempt at animating an AI scene in Leonardo Ai. It's very short, so you can right-click on the play button in the lower left corner & choose "loop" to see it better. I also recommend making it full screen to see it more clearly, & choosing the highest quality available from the video settings (cog wheel icon).

Empire State Monsters (AI generated image)

 My first successful (in my opinion) experiment with AI image creation--I used the Leonardo AI web interface to create this image of the Empire State Building in NYC attacked by monsters. It's the closest image I've created in AI that looks like I might have made it myself. More coming, I hope...
