    Dystopian and Cyberpunk Kiss: A Creative Journey — SLDS

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: A Dangerous Liaison in a Warzone.

    I had a clear direction for this challenge: a kiss in a wartorn city. I used a baseline picture of a street in Glasgow for this.

    I’ve got three favourites from this mammoth session on ChatGPT.

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Secret Weapon Reveal.

    For this week’s challenge, I used three different baseline shots. These were taken at the Kelvingrove Museum & The Burrel Collection at Pollock Country Park.

    The first prompt came out really well & I’m using the resulting picture as my entry for this week.

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Evading Surveillance In A Crowded Market.

    I only have one market shot, so used that as the baseline image. It was taken at a European Christmas Market in Glasgow, & so the images generated off it are a wee bit festive

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Ambush in a Shadowy Forest.

    As this involves an ambush on a track through a forest, this is also my post for Cee’s Which Way Challenge.

    This was quite a simple one & required only one baseline photo to base my prompt on in Hot Mods.

    This first attempt came out really well. It shows a dispatch rider breaking through an ambush in a forest.

    I decided to also winterise the scene & added a sidecar to the bike.

    As usual, I could have stopped here, but where’s the fun in thatNext up is a cyberpunk-style image, as seen through the scope of a sniper following the action; this one’s my definite favourite.

    My next favourite is this abstract-style re-imagining of the scene.

    As usual, there were many different runs in different styles, including the ambush being viewed from a command centre. Enjoy these in the carousel below

    One other picture I really liked was this Baroque-style one; the bike looks really ornate & cool.

    Hidden in the Woods — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Hidden Safe House.

    Okay, so this one became a bit of an epic as one idea led to another. I ended up with three different scenarios, & thus, three different baseline images.

    I’m starting out with the safe house in a wood scenario. The following is a photo from an old WWII military site at Elie, Fife.
