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.
Deciphering a cryptic message
Never one to leave well enough alone, I had to re-imagine this in a steampunk world.
Steampunk decryption
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.
Out on a walk yesterday, I spotted this wee patch of snowdrops just coming to bloom.

I added a drop of AI magic dust to these already pretty wee flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolour

I am delving into my archives for warm, sunny shots during these dreich days.

Hi All 👋 Feel free to join this weekly challenge whenever you think, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).
It’s my birthday at the end of the week, so I’ll be taking a wee break. Fan Of… will return on the 26th of February.
This time, Lensy’s getting the Hot Mods treatment.

The inspiration — Exploring the World of AI-Generated Artwork: My Journey in the ‘Fan Of…’ Challenge
Probably, most of you are wondering why AI; it all comes down to the time of year. Here in Scotland, daylight hours in winter are pretty much between 0900 & 1500 & unless you get one of those bright, clear days. The weather can best be described as dreich (those grey, miserable, wet days) where the light is not so great. Don’t get me wrong, If there’s something worth photographing, I’ll happily be out in the worst of weather?
I also work in retail; this sees an increase in work hours & very little chance to get out with Snappy. The end result is that I can feel my creativity start to wane; not being able to get out with my camera certainly puts a dampener on the creative spirit — & so over to AI & Hot Mods.
For more about AI in the creative world, visit Susan’s site & in particular, the series of posts that she’s writing: Post 1 & Post 2.
This form of AI artwork allows me to use my own photography as a basis for AI prompt engineering. In all my Fan Of… posts about AI creativity, I’ll show the original image & then the various outputs from Hot Mods as I work with the AI to create new artwork.
As you’ll see from these posts, the expected output is not always what I wanted (I’ll share these as well), so I’m back to rewriting the prompt.
This is the original image I shot & used as the basis of my prompt engineering.

The first re-imagining is Lensy in an enchanted forest with a dragon that can only be seen through him.
