    Knautia Macedonica at Culzean Castle– FOTD Aug 02

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

    We’re now moving on to Culzean Castle & its grounds in Ayrshire for the next series of flowers & settings

    The Knautia macedonica is also known as the Macedonian scabious.

    As with yesterday’s fuchsia, I added a picture of Culzean castle into the AI prompt to ensure it featured in the background. I then did a series of style edits (carousel): oil painting, surrealism, steampunk & digital art… enjoy

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    I had a wee bit of fun & got a bit carried away with transformations for one of my favourite trees… enjoyMy favourite transformation for these is the crystal ones; they look like the trees are delicate ice sculptures

    A couple of shots of Loch Lomond & The Maid of the Loch

    • Loch Lomond
    • Maid of the Loch

    I did some AI transformations of the Loch & paddle steamer (see carousel). In all the transformations, it’s mainly the Maid of the Loch & foreground that has been transformed & the background mountains left very natural (apart from the 1st Art Deco one). The styles are Steampunk, Cyberpunk, Art Deco & Baroque.

    I think my favourite transformations are the Art Deco ones, particularly the first, for their elegance & simplicity; what about you?

    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.

    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.

    Greenan Tower in the mist

    I decided to do a few AI transformations for this tranquil scene (see the carousel). I thought a good starting point would be a mystical setting; both runs came out really well, although I think the first looks more like the structure of the Tower as it is. Next up, I went for an enchanted/baroque fusion; the second in this run came out looking very oriental. It was back to a mystical setting next but blended with cyberpunk. The third set of runs is in a style called Hollywood Regency; this, to me, looks very Art Deco. My final re-imagining was in the Regency style. What’s your favourite
