    The Chase Is On — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: High-Speed Chase.

    This week’s prompt is for a high-speed chase through a bustling city; my baseline image for this week’s challenge is a busy Glasgow Street.

    My first idea was for a high-speed chase involving two high-powered motorcycles.

    I was really happy with this outcome from the prompt & thought “job done”. But no… Godfrey (my inner chimp) decided it would be interesting to try a vintage scene.

    Again, I was very happy with the outcome, but why stop there… futuristic world, here we come

    Romantic Rooftop Rendezvous — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Romantic Rooftop Rendezvous.

    I used these shots I’d taken over Glasgow from the Lighthouse as my baseline images.

    I then set up the prompt to imagine a couple having a romantic rendezvous on a rooftop balcony overlooking the city.

    Masquarade Ball — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge.

    This week’s challenge is to develop an AI image of a secret exchange at a masquerade ball.

    This is a new one for me; previously, all my AI work was based on one of my own photos. This time, I didn’t have a picture that worked as a basis for the prompt, so the prompt was written from scratch.

    I first imagined a grand & elegant ballroom with people in period costumes. The first result was not busy enough for my liking, so I revisited the prompt to add in more couples dancing.

    I decided then to go futuristic & have the ball set in a futuristic ballroom in a space hotel. Again, the first result was not crowded enough, so I revised the prompt. The last image is the 8th revision & I’m still not 100% happy with the end result in the space hotel, but my stomach’s grumbling & it’s time for lunch. I’m sure I’ll come back to this prompt again, another time.

    Clandestine Meeting — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Clandestine Meeting in a foggy alley.

    These are the two base images used for the prompt. The first is a street in Glasgow, the second in Edinburgh. Both have an older architecture that carries well through the prompt engineering & gives the right look for a foggy alley. The Glasgow road had to be narrowed considerably in the prompt to get the right look.

    These are the three images I’m posting for the challenge. I’ve gone for three different looks; the first is quite standard. For the second & third, I was working on a series of images that involved a meeting of different time periods — see more results in a future Fan Of… post; there’ll also be mystical portals worked into the prompt. The last, I went full on futuristic
