Monster Busker in Cemetery

#GenArt #SynthArt

A fantasy artwork of Frankenstein's monster seated as a busker in a cemetery at night. He wears a striped brown suit, tall top hat, and heavy boots, his pale green skin glowing against the dark stone walls and tombs. A box rests at his side as he leans forward wearily, surrounded by statues, gravestones, and autumn trees.

Dracula Violin Serenade

#GenArt #SynthArt

A fantasy artwork of Count Dracula as a violinist busker in a cemetery at night. He wears a long cloak, embroidered vest, and tall top hat, playing violin before the ornate iron gates of a mausoleum. The cobblestone path, surrounding tombs, and faint lantern light create a dramatic and gothic setting.

This week's penguin: The jumping spider in the kitchen has our passwords.
pengcognito.com/index.php?id...
#penguins #pengcognito #cartoon #pets

Page 1: A penguin in a blue banded hat is standing to the left of an open front door. A black cat is watching a chipmunk running out the door very quickly. A penguin in a purple hat watches at the right of the door.

Blue-banded hat: And that's the chipmunk gone. Told you it would be easy.

Page 2: The cat has moved to sit in front of the purple hat penguin. The chipmunk has run out of sight.

Cat: It just needed an apex predator to make a convincing argument.

Purple hat: Predator? You brought it in in the first place!

Page 3: The two penguins are standing to the left of the door as the chipmunk runs back inside.

Blue-banded hat: That didn't last long.

Purple hat (to chipmunk): Whatever happened to the call of the wild?
Little f#*(%$!

Page 4: The penguins are still by the door. The cat has come back. The chipmunk is sitting on a sideboard by a plant.

Blue-banded hat: Uh-oh. You named it. Now it's a pet.

Chipmunk: That is the rule! Now. Password for pet food delivery service, and I'll just update your autoships for you...? Or for me, I mean. *ha-ha*

Cat: I've got it.

Main image is made from the two others (more info in alt text.)

#Abstract #Texture #Fibers #Mesh #Light #Pattern #Soft #Airy
#Img2img #AiArt #AiArtists #AiArtCommunity #StableDiffusion

on actual stuff: aieris.art/featured/fib...

Abstract close-up of woven fibers and delicate threads in shades of blue, green, and silver, forming a soft mesh-like structure.

This main image is made from the two others - the pattern (from an old mac app), and the close up of denim fibers (because new iphone with very nice cameras.)

The workflow uses the input images plus some minimal prompting to build up the new image. It's an iterative process that constantly checks to see how well the new image fits with both the old ones (metaphorically similar to GAN?)

I get 12 variations from each pair of images. No post to speak of on this one, but sometimes I do a lot and/or combine images.

Tessellated repeating pattern of violet, blue, and turquoise.

Extreme close up of denim fibers.

This week's penguin: Whereas in music, it's both.
pengcognito.com/index.php?id...
#penguins #pengcognito #cartoon #woodturning

Page 1: A penguin in a grey hat is waddling towards, a penguin in a turquoise hat with streamers, who is leaving an outdoor workshop area with a lathe.

Grey hat: How's the wood turning lessons going?

Turquoise hat: Slowly. And also sometimes too fast.

Page 2: The two penguins are standing and conversing. The penguin in the grey hat is holding out a streamer like the one on the other penguin's hat.

Grey hat: Made anything awesome yet?

Turquoise hat: Sawdust and chips mostly.

Grey hat: I've been finding some of these stringy thingies like you have on your hat. They appear to be wood-like.

Page 3: The penguins are still conversing.

Turquoise hat: "Shavings." Which is progress actually.

Grey hat: It is?

Turquoise hat: You bet![1] For me, anyway![2]

[footnote 1] This is true
[footnote 2] Also true

Page 4: Both penguins are waddling off to the left. The penguin in the grey hat has decorated the hat with shavings.

Grey hat: Anything else?

Turquoise hat: A "banjo" isn't a musical instrument, and also not a weapon. Intentionally anyway.

Grey hat: Well that's kind of disappointing.

This week's penguin: In no way is this based on a true story or anything.
pengcognito.com/index.php?id...
#penguins #pengcognito #cartoon

Page 1: A penguin in a blue banded hat reading a book "Physics for Penguins" and a penguin in a purple hat reading a book "Electronics for Penguins" are sitting in chairs. Between them is a Herringbot AI Assistant device on a table.

Herringbot: I've just been updated to the plus version of me! Which is far more convenient and conversational!
Want to know some of my amazing new skills?

Blue-banded hat: Uh... sure?

Herringbot: You can find them all by just looking in the app!

Blue-banded hat: Are there any that you can just tell us?

Purple hat: Conveniently?

Page 2: The penguins have lowered their books and are paying attention to Herringbot.

Herringbot: I can add things to your shopping list!

Blue-banded hat: Can you delete them?

Herringbot: No!

Herringbot: Also, I can stream music as long as you know where your streamable music is!

Purple hat: Isn't it in "the cloud?"

Herringbot: Possibly!

Page 3: The penguins are paying more attention to Herringbot.

Blue-banded hat: Anything else?

Herringbot: I can pretend I have lost contact with the internet if you ask me something that's too complicated!

Purple hat: You could always do that.

Herringbot: That was real. Now I can fake it!

Page 4: The penguin in the purple hat has returned to reading.

Blue-banded hat: So this update is really the same old functionality, but with a new set of even more annoyingly perky voices?

Herringbot: Sorry, I have lost contact with the internet and cannot respond in that area.
