    Inspired By Hammad’s Transcendent Poetry — Water Water Everywhere #224

    This WWE was inspired by Hammad’s poem in his WWE post: Tranquil Sigh.

    His poem inspired me to try & visualise the scene he set using my own pictures & AI prompt engineering in DALL-E (ChatGPT). These are my baseline pictures.

    I then generated this image by combining these images, Hammad’s brilliant poem, and my own prompts.

    I say eventually because there were many prompt rewrites to get the image to match what I saw in Hammad’s words. In the carousel below are a few of the images that, whilst good, do not quite fit what was conjured in my own mind.

    We’re starting off June with this shot of Spiers Wharf on the Forth & Clyde Canal. This section of the canal is on the northern side of Glasgow.

    I also used ChatGPT to do an oil painting-style re-imagining of the wharf area.

    WWE is back with a shot showing the Clyde Estuary. On the left are the cliffs known as The Heads Of Ayr, & in the distance, shrouded in clouds, is the Isla of Arran.

    I decided to do a few AI transformations for this tranquil scene (see the carousel). I thought a good starting point would be a mystical setting; both runs came out really well, although I think the first looks more like the structure of the Tower as it is. Next up, I went for an enchanted/baroque fusion; the second in this run came out looking very oriental. It was back to a mystical setting next but blended with cyberpunk. The third set of runs is in a style called Hollywood Regency; this, to me, looks very Art Deco. My final re-imagining was in the Regency style. What’s your favourite

    I decided to do a few AI transformations for this tranquil scene (see the carousel). I started with a simple pastel rendering for a soft look, followed by a Baroque transformation for plenty of drama & a futuristic re-imagining for a blast of colour. What’s your favourite

    I next decided to do some fusions; I liked the colour & drama that came out of these prompts. The first two are fusions of Steampunk, baroque, & Watercolour styles. The last two are fusions of Cyberpunk & baroque. Too crazy or not crazy enough; let me know
