Two version with one prompt

Sometimes I like to work with several AI Art Generators and one prompt, and everytime I am surprised how different the results can be. 

The image on the right was created using Piclumen AI, which has a nice free version. You are getting reward points by uploading your images to social media (pinterest for example) and liking and commenting other people's creations.


The image on the left was created using Nightcafe Studio. Here you get reward points by showing up every day.

Abstract Gouache painting

 

I haven't touched my Gouache paints for a long, long time. But yesterday, while cutting the banana for my muesli I thought: Why not play around with them and try to do some color mixing? I was not thinking of a "real" piece, just of a kind of exercise. 

I grabbed some of my Gouache tubes and started. And - I had a blast! This does not mean that I will stop making art with my alcoholbased markers, but I can imagine - now and then - to do something Gouache-y!

Panther bookmark

 

For a long time Zazzle didn't have proper bookmarks. They had some, though, which were so tiny that I would not use them in one of the books I am reading. I looked for a solution and found out, that you could cut out two bookmarks out of a postcard and designed some with Photoshop. But would you do the cutting as a customer? Not really. 
So I was very pleased when I noticed that Zazzle is now offering "real" bookmarks, and could not resist creating one.
The panther on the prowl was created using AI.

Marker Art and AI version

This is one of the two marker paintings I did in July. Only two? you might ask. Well, I focused on swatching all of my markers in July, and that took more time than I thought it would. 

But I now know that painting / drawing abstract art with alcoholbased markers plus shading with inktense pencils is the thing I really love to do, and so doing these swatches was an absolute must.

However I am still creating AI images, and lately I have been creating a lot of images with Grok.

Grok allows to upload one's own images and to create AI versions of them. 

As you can see on the right, the result is quite similar with a bit of change of color in some places.
