Mysterious woman


I have been working on a series of Zodiac Signs on Nightcafe. The only zodiac sign I did not manage to create so far is "Sagittarius", which is symbolized with an archer. I used up a lot of credits and could not come up with something similar to the Sagittarius zodiac sign. 
However - the image above was among the results I want to keep. As far as I can see it has nothing to do with Sagittarius, but I like it nevertheless...

Three pink roses


I also created this image with the use of Nightcafestudio. These roses can not only be used for creating a nice birthday card, or will look beautiful on a calendar page, they also can serve as reference for a traditional painting or drawing!

Bridge


Creating an image with the use of AI (in this case: Nightcafe Studio) is not a simple process. You do not insert some text, hit the "create" button and then you get the desired result. More than once I tried, failed, deleted the output and started again. This image above is not exactly what I wanted it to be, but neverheless I like the result...

Diamonds


The AI Art Generator Nightcafestudio does a great job - but sometimes the result needs a bit of post-processing. The image above lacked contrast and sharpness (only a wee bit, but I was not satisfied with the result of the rendering). So I downloaded it and opened it in GIMP in order to work on the contrast and the sharpness.

Abstract Art with Nightcafe Studio


I created this image with the help of Nightcafe studio. There is an algorithm there called "Style transfer" - and it works as follows:
  • You upload a scan of your art.
  • You open "Style Transfer" and choose a style.
  • You hit the "Create" button.
I have been using AI Nightcafe studio since November, and I am still feeling my way around it. As I have got a a number of abstract paintings, either done with acrylics, acrylic inks, watermedia or markers, I've got quite a number of files to feed into "Style Transfer", and it works quite well, especially with abstract art.

Brandenburg Forest scenery

 

Forest and Creek scenery photo

The region around Berlin, the capital of Germany, has much to offer: Beautiful lakes, forests and creeks. Sometimes when I go there I even have the impression of being in Canada or in one of the National Parks of the USA. Now that it is possible again I can only invite you to come to Berlin, spend some days there and then explore the region around it. 
And in case you cannot do such thing, what about buying this keychain with the beautiful photo of the scenery on it?

Colourful beetle, done with Inkscape


I used some gradients on this beetle in Inkscape. As beetles do have so many colours you cannot say whether this beetle really exists - it could, could it not?

Clouds | Generated with Nightcafestudio


Experimenting with Nightcafestudio is fun. Sometimes I have to go through various fails, but in the end I get something presentable.

Golden beetle, created with Nightcafestudio


Originally there was a beetle done with Inkscape. Then I uploaded the vector drawing into Nightcafestudio and added some text prompts. Mind you, it took me some time and some credits to get the image you can see above. But it was fun!

It is winter in my part of the world, but nevertheless I love to see flowers in all variations - they speak of spring and summer and warmer days!

Adventures with Nightcafe Studio


I had heard of Nightcafe Studio in a video, and thought I could try it. Well, I must say, that creating images with this app has become a daily activity for me. It is always surprising what results you get when you submit certain prompts. And often enough I create something and throw it away because it does not make any sense.

Grinning skull, drawn with Inkscape


I used the photo of a skull as reference, but then did my own creation with Inkscape. I practised again with gradients. I thought about adding a flower hanging out of the skull's mouth, but that may be done later.
