    Breaking Through — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies & CWWC

    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.

    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.

    Abstracts — Lens-Artists Challenge #296

    Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Ritva.

    This is an interesting challenge; I’ve never really dabbled in the world of abstract, so here we go.

    My first group could fit in a “what is it?” category of abstract.

    This first shot looks like an alien forest; it’s a macro shot of dew on moss.

    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.

    Mystery Caller — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Tracing a mysterious phone call.

    I thought I’d go a bit old-school with this one & had a good couple of pictures to use as a baseline.

    Read on for a wee bit of art history as well!!!

    Hielan Coo & Caff

    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.
