    Japanese Maple — Weekend FOTD Jul 13/14

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

    This Japanese Maple can be found in the Burn’s Memorial Garden, adding a touch of serenity to the surroundings

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    Today, I’ve made a setting change for this beautiful tree. I decided to place it in a geodesic dome on a far-off planet. I got a wee bittie carried away with this & kept tweaking the prompt. Beloware my favourites

    The carousel belowhas the rest of the images I created.

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    Today, I’ve done a pointillism-style transformation. As well as redrawing the maple in the pointillism style, it has placed the tree in a calming setting, much like in the Burn’s Memorial Gardens, where you are surrounded by trees, flowers & shade, with wee pathways meandering through it

    Today, I’ve done yet another of my favourites, a steampunk-style transformation. This places these cute wee flowers in a setting of old-world charm, elegance & machinery

    These bright yellow flowers are unsurprisingly part of the sunflower family

    A couple of shots of Loch Lomond & The Maid of the Loch

    • Loch Lomond
    • Maid of the Loch

    I did some AI transformations of the Loch & paddle steamer (see carousel). In all the transformations, it’s mainly the Maid of the Loch & foreground that has been transformed & the background mountains left very natural (apart from the 1st Art Deco one). The styles are Steampunk, Cyberpunk, Art Deco & Baroque.

    I think my favourite transformations are the Art Deco ones, particularly the first, for their elegance & simplicity; what about you?

    Next to the Azaleas– Pull Up a Seat Wk #26

    Hi All 👋 My entry for Xingfumama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge.

    This bench is in the Burns (Rabbie Burns) Monument & Memorial Garden next to a vibrant azalea bush that seems intent on claiming it as its own. I’ll be featuring some more benches from this Garden in the future.

    I thought I’d do a few Hot Mods edits for this bench.

    Whispered Conversation in a Library Art Challenge –Baroque/Cyberpunk Fusion

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Whispered Conversation in a Library.

    Like last week, I had quite a clear direction on this one, so I sought out four baseline pictures to work with; none are actually from a library but contain elements that I want to feature.

    Greenan Tower in the mist
    Greenan Tower in the mist

    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

    Sunset over Clyde Estuary & Arran

    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
