Bing AI Image creator

Today I discovered the Bing AI Creator, an image creator powered by DALL-E, and I have to say that I love it. It is free. It works with so called boosting points which make the creation of your images relatively fast. You can earn additional boosting points by connecting your account to Microsoft Awards. 

I tried out a few things which I know that Stablediffusion has difficulties with. Here's the first one:


An octopus playing with a glass ball. You always get four images with your prompt, and I liked this one the best. 







I already have a selection of Initial Letters created with DALL-E2 over at Nightcafestudio. This one has the same quality.

Candyland


 This is one of four images I got when I submitted "Candyland" as a prompt on Dreamlike AI. Actually I was pretty surprised that one word created so many "sweet" images. 

Maybe I should add "castle" to the prompt, as in "show me the castles of candyland"? At the moment I am a bit down with credits on Dreamlike, so it has to wait...

Old Elves

Most of the elves you see on paintings, be they digital or not, are female; only some elves are male. In addition to that they are young adults or children. So I asked myself: What about old elves? Do elves die young? That made me thinking about creating old male elves - probably members of a kind of Elder Elves Council.


Here's the first old elf, Christofur. He is a wise old man, still eager to learn new things and to help the younger ones with his advice. 






This one here is called Philosopur, and he is the one who knows all about elv history and elv philsophy. He writes elv chronicles and is a guardian of the big elv library.






Both images were created using Stable Diffusion on Nightcafestudio.

A special kind of landscape


 After having used DALL-E2 on Nightcafestudio Art Generator for a long time I decided to focus more on Stablediffusion there. I tried to go for more painterly styles with landscapes, so I used the following prompt:

landscape with apple trees in full blossom, by artist sandro botticelli


I generated four images, and the image on the left is one of them. I like the fact that it does not look like a photo, with its rather stylized trees.

Using the same prompt on nightcafestudio and dreamlike.ai

 I have been using Nightcafestudio for a long time, and Deep Dream Generator for about a month. A few days ago I discovered dreamlike.ai, and I must say that I am quite impressed with the results I am getting with this AI Art generator. When you sign up for it you get 100 credits free; after that you can reclaim 25 credits every day. You can decide how many creations you want to get with one prompt - I usually go for 2 images which cost me 3,4 credits. 

Just now I am experimenting using a prompt from Lexica.ai with Nightcafestudio and Dreamlike.ai. Here is one example:

The prompt is:

ultra detailed tree in a generative 3D style on a disk, Grotesk font, Graphic Design, uppercase letter, fungal, mycelium, intricate concept art, triadic color scheme, by alphonse mucha and Mandelbrot, octane render, 4k, behance, dribbble, alphabet challenge

1. Nightcafestudio











And this is the image I got from Dreamlike.ai. I noticed, that the image on lexica (where I got the prompt from) looks quite similar. 

By the way, Dreamlike.ai is an AI art generator which allows the commercial use of creations without any limitations. Of course you have to enhance your creations in order to make it possible to use them for print on demand.

Big Bad Wolf

 

I have been playing around with Stablediffusion on Nightcafestudio lately. In the meantime I've got so many credits that I can really experiment - adding a word here in the prompt, or taking away a special expression. 

I like the glowing eyes of the wolf on the left and the fur around them. He or she looks very determined, but not necessarily evil. 




Now, the wolf on the right looks very different. It looks like a creature of the night - evil. The color combination - black and a neon blue - add to this impression. 

Both wolf portraits have the same prompt - but the results are very different!

Brown bears

I love watching documentaries about wildlife, and I love watching documentaries about bears - big brown bears, grizzly bears, polar bears. I also did a few drawings of bears, mostly with markers. 

Since the end of the year 2022 I have been dabbling with creating AI artworks, using various AI Art generators - mostly nightcafestudio and deep dream generator. At the moment I am not so much interested in generating photorealistic images - I am trying to generate illustrations. 

The prompt for this bear is:

A brown bear in the forest, by Anne Stokes, watercolor and ink, comics color style, pen and ink

I very much like this illustration - it is not a photorealistic one but it renders this big animal very well.
I can see such an illustration in a children's book about bears, with information about how bears live.



However, I decided to generate another bear in a completely different style, a comic book style.

Here is the prompt for the image on the left:

Style: flat comic book style, clean ink lines, limited bold color palette with dramatic highlights, by Frank Miller, Akira Toriyama, Brian Bolland,

This could be an illustration out of comic novel, maybe telling a story about humans and a bear...
