I was creating so many Bosch-inspired images that I've decided to create a blog on Tumblr specifically for them at: https://ai-bosch.tumblr.com/

William T. Ayton is a British artist based in Tempe, Arizona & New York's Hudson Valley. His work deals with the human condition, social issues and myth. He creates drawings, paintings & augmented reality pieces, and has recently started to experiment with AI-generated art.

With this one, I used Leonardo.Ai's Alchemy Upscaler to improve image quality & upsize it. I'm not sure it made a huge difference, as all the little figures are quite small, so fixing hands & heads, etc. is not a major issue here.

Bosch AI Apocalypse v.2 |
I feel that this one ought to be in a low-budget horror movie...Hollywood, are you watching?

I've found repeatedly that Leonardo.Ai does a pretty convincing & effective impersonation of Hieronymus Bosch, and its tendency to mess up anatomy (too many legs, etc.) only helps. Here's the Apocalypse:

In this AI-generated image of Leda and swans, how many swans can you count? Partial swans are not to be included...

Leda and Swans, 2024, AI-generated image |
This is another image that wasn't exactly what I was looking for when I generated it. However, upon reflection, I decided it was worth uploading here, as opposed to the Tumblr blog where my more "finished" AI pieces live.

Annunciation, 2024, AI generated image |
Another oddity/experiment in Leonardo.Ai. With this one I extensively repainted and regenerated the original image until I had this. The original had a sea urchin on a man's head...

In case anyone's wondering if I still make non-AI artwork, the answer is a definite "yes". Here's one from today:

Lost Among the Spheres, ink drawing 14" x 11", 2024 |
I typed in "the man who was a nuclear weapon" and got this faux movie poster with questionable spelling. You never know what you're going to get...coming soon to a movie theater near you...

This is not exactly what I wanted, trying to generate a winged head of the Greek god Hypnos, but I liked the resuts anyway:

Here's an odd experiment with Leonardo.Ai--I was trying to generate a version of Bosch's Tree Man from the right-hand panel of the Garden of Earthly Delights--but instead I got this:

Here is a screenshot of a WIP in the Leonardo.Ai interface (Realtime Canvas section), to demonstrate that AI image generation is slightly more complicated than some people might think. In this case, it's a combination of a text generated image with more text input, plus I've painted extensively on the image to change the shapes and appearance of objects. It's a refining process which can be quite lengthy...AI is really a collection of power tools that enhance creativity.
