This one is my "sting" sketch (prev post) as the basis with NightCafe's Nanobanana model. I love NanoBanana

AI image based on my "sting" pen and ink sketch. A rogue steampunk scorpion robot is attacking a steampunk inventor. The scorpion's tail is arched over her head. The steampunk inventor is wearing googles, leather apron and a Victorian dress. She is holding a crowbar and a flaming welding torch. The setting is an inventor's workshop with many tools on a table.

InkOctober's Day 11 prompt is "sting". So this one I imagined a rogue scorpion robot with a big stinger going after a steampunk inventor

This one is my "sweep" sketch (prev post) as the basis with NightCafe's Nanobanana model. Lovely colors this time. In my sketch the head was too big but Nanobanana made it look cute

#mydrawingtoAIdrawing #mysketchtoAIimage #nightcafe #AIArtCommunity #AICommunity #nightcafestudio #nanobanana #witch

image created from my pen and ink sketch by Nightcafe's NanoBanana model. The scene is in lovely autumn colors. The witch is wearing a green hat and and a green, orange and white Victorian gown. The witch is reading while her broom sweeps up the autumn leaves.

InkOctober's Day 10 prompt is "sweep". When you don't have a roomba, you can always put a spell on your broom to do the sweeping

I used my heavy sketch as a basis with NightCafe's Nanobanana model. It was initially mostly grey so with prompt to edit I added more color, mostly red. I think it came out pretty cool.

Cayla Catz @caylacatz.bsky.social · 1d

InkOctober's Day 9 prompt is "heavy". I instantly thought anvil which made me think of blacksmiths and then forging a sword. I'm never very far from the world of fantasy

I used my reckless sketch as a basis with NightCafe's Nanobanana model. I think it came out pretty cool although I would have prefered just 1 exploding airship
#mydrawingtoAIdrawing #mysketchtoAIimage #nightcafe #AIArtCommunity #AICommunity #nightcafestudio #nanobanana

AI image done in printmaking style mixed with anime. an anthropmorphic Victorian steampunk cat burglar using a parasol to parachute down from the skies. In the back ground is an exploding airship or two and a great view of the city

InkOctober's Day 8 prompt is "reckless". Tough one but then I thought of steampunk and viola!

I used my starfish sketch as a basis with NightCafe's Flux model and LORAs: Ink Prints by Sixfoot10, PR AlcoholWCGlass by Pisces Rising, Ancient Gold by SlothFatale, Antique Watercolor 2 by Leesa.

starfish on the beach

Cayla Catz @caylacatz.bsky.social · 2d

InkOctober's Day 7 prompt is "starfish"so it was easy to do. I looked at a few pics of real starfish but I couldn't see anything to add any pizzazz. I scribbled in some texture and added water/surf and called it done.

I used my archer sketch as a basis with NightCafe's NanoBanana model. Other models made her human or changed her tunic to underwear. Who shoots an arrow in lingerie? Made no sense at all. This one came out pretty great.
#mydrawingtoAIdrawing #mysketchtoAIimage #nightcafe #AIArtCommunity #AICommunity

Description of the picture but it's not the prompt. An anime anthropomorphic ginger cat female archer is drawing the string back on her bow. She has long red hair and is wearing a green tunic with gold embroidery and thigh high boots. The scene is in a forest with trees and wildflowers. An apple is hanging from the branch with a a little arrow head sticking out of it.

Cayla Catz @caylacatz.bsky.social · 4d

InkOctober's Day 6 prompt is "pierce" like a piercing arrow. I envisioned she shot the stem of a hanging apple to drop the apple. I'm improving! The deer looked like age 7 drawing and this looks like what I drew at age 11, lol

Second Life is a lot of fun. I like SL too. I haven't tried Digital Farming System tho. The picture looks great. Love the pose, like you've been working hard farming on a hard day and taking a minute for a break.

I used my deer sketch as a basis again with a different set of LORA's and the same promptl. Loras: Ink Prints by Sixfoot10, Earth and charcoal by Andy Does AI, Magical Stag by Purple Witch, Ink Wash Paint by Leesa

So I brought my pen sketch in and got this with the help of some LORA's and the Flux model. Loras: InkMeSoftlyLoRA / Flux
InkMeSoftly by naturx, Art Ink Drawing Flux by Lis, Sumi Nouveau by Anmitsu, GazOilpaint by GAZ.

My Day 4 Murky sketch + Nightcafe's Seedream 4.0 model + my prompt "anthropomorphic modern psychic female cat wearing a peasant blouse and jeans looks into a crystal ball and sees a murky future. The crystal ball is filled with shifting dark fog." = this. Cool crystal ball with the swirly clouds.

Day 4 murky (murky future)
I had to think about "murky" for a bit but I finally came up with lookng into a crystal ball and seeing a murky future.

So I brought the crown drawing I did (my previous post) into Nightcafe and got this. I used some LORAs for their pen and ink, watercolor, and alcohol ink effects. Came out like an elven Cait Sidhe princess

Day 3 crown
I used to draw anime when I was a kid thru to hi school. That's what's coming back 1st. I'm actually pretty happy doing these quick sketches. It feeds a part of my brain I don't think I've used in a while.

The AI's take on using my drawing as the start image. I did add "alcohol inks" into the prompt as I think they're cool so that's where the color is coming from. It's pretty cute and even has the pincer mouth I put on my drawing. #mydrawingtoAIdrawing #mysketchtoAIimage

Not as lopsided as yesterday so that's a good thing.

The AI version is enough to give me a complex. It's been so long since I last drew so my skills are sadly lacking. Sniffs. On the other hand, maybe I can use the AI version to get better -- ie, using the AI version as a model for a future drawing. Anyways, just a thought.

Cayla Catz @caylacatz.bsky.social · 6d

I haven't drawn in decades (shhh) so my drawing is not great as I've lost my old skill. Thank goodness the patch covers one eye. Plus, my pirate is lopsided, lol. Still it's nice to draw again.The inktober prompts is a way to get over the "I'm not any good" feelings and into the "Just do it" phase.
