    Disguised Rendezvous — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Disguised Rendezvous In A Foreign City.

    I don’t have many foreign city pictures, so I went with a shot of Santa Monica Pier as my baseline.

    I was running a wee bit short on time for this, so I went straight for uncomplicated fun (when Susan was working on this earlier, I thought she was about to throw her MacBook at something).

    There weren’t enough elements of the Santa Monica Pier in this, so I added some other pictures to the prompt & re-ran it.

    This is the re-run using a combination of 4 original pictures.

    I like the fun of this & this is my main picture for this week’s challenge, but I also decided to have it viewed by a real wizard using a crystal ball.

    That was not quite what I wanted, so I rewrote the prompt with the real wizard viewing the rendezvous using a giant crystal ball in a steampunk room.

    Craziness At The Border — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge.

    There are two images that I’m going with for this week’s challenge. Both came from the same baseline picture.

    Snowy Field

    The first is an action-packed, chaotic scene at a snowy border crossing.

    For the second, I re-imagined the scene as a standoff between Roman Soldiers & Pictish Warriors at a Gate on Hadrian’s Wall. Which do you prefer?

  • Hacks The Way To Do It– Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hacks The Way To Do It– Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Hacking.

    I used a couple of baseline photos for this challenge.

    So over to Hot Mods & away we go. The very first prompt came out pretty well.

    I wanted the guy to be more sneaky-looking, so I told the AI to put his hood up to hide his face; this came out really well.

    So basically, job doneBut why stop there; let’s steampunk it!

    Now, that’s cool, but whilst we’re at it, let’s try cyber-punk.

    Again, love the outcome, particularly the control orb he’s using to do the hack. Now, let’s blend steampunk & cyber-punk.

    Awesome, but where nextI know, how about mythical, with a wizard doing the hack

    It’s a bit nicey-nicey, so let’s darken it a wee bit.

    This was the look I was going for.

    Chaotic Escape — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Escape from a high-security facility.

    This is the picture I’m going with for the challenge, but there were a few others on the way to this one. To me, it perfectly encapsulates a daring escape from a high-security facility.

  • Cold Winter’s Sun Illuminates Empty Playpark

    Cold Winter’s Sun Illuminates Empty Playpark

    Hi All 👋 My entry for Debbie’s Six Word Saturday.

    Empty playpark
    Empty playpark

    I decided to transform this into a watercolour using Hot Mods. I went through several prompt amendments to get the end result I was after.

    I liked this first attempt, but wanted some evergreens in thew picture.

    Again, a good outcome, but a touch on the vibrant side, & the original was a cloudless sky.

    Getting closer, a softer light from the sun & back to the original cloudless sky, but the sun is now sitting too high above the horizon; one more go…

    …finally, a lower sun casts longer shadows of an empty playpark on a cold winter’s day.

    Decryption — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Deciphering a Cryptic Message.

    I used two baseline images for this week’s challenge…

    …and then wrote a prompt to include the deciphering of a message. I was very happy with the first image created.

    Never one to leave well enough alone, I had to re-imagine this in a steampunk world.

    This was a cool outcome, but I wanted to go one step further. I’ve been playing around with a fusion of steampunk & futuristic settings, so that’s what I’ve gone with for this final image.

    Hi All 👋 My entry for Debbie’s Six Word Saturday.

    I was going to apologise for this, but I’m not sorry in the slightest
