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.
I did a Mannerism-style transformation for this picture (for a wee bit more on Mannerism, see my latest FOTD), and then, keeping the Mannerism-style, re-imagined it as a light & ethereal watercolour.
I did a couple of watercolour edits in Hot Mods. In the first, I simply told the AI to transform the scene into a watercolour, which it did really well. For the second, I specified a highland scene setting through the prompt.
I’ve done an AI watercolour transformation for each of my shots. Most of the original shots, seen below, are close-ups. So, when edited in Hot Mods, they remain as close-ups, but often the background is removed. For some of them, I revisited the prompt to put the background back in. For some, I got a bit carried away & re-imagined the flowers in a setting that sprang to mind & fits the flowers.
snowdrops
Starting off with some snowdrops. The watercolour came out well, but I wanted them in the wooded setting that they were originally shot in.
