    Disguised Rendezvous — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 馃憢 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Disguised Rendezvous In A Foreign City.

    I don’t have many foreign city pictures, so I went with a shot of Santa Monica Pier as my baseline.

    I was running a wee bit short on time for this, so I went straight for uncomplicated fun (when Susan was working on this earlier, I thought she was about to throw her MacBook at something).

    There weren’t enough elements of the Santa Monica Pier in this, so I added some other pictures to the prompt & re-ran it.

    This is the re-run using a combination of 4 original pictures.

    I like the fun of this & this is my main picture for this week’s challenge, but I also decided to have it viewed by a real wizard using a crystal ball.

    That was not quite what I wanted, so I rewrote the prompt with the real wizard viewing the rendezvous using a giant crystal ball in a steampunk room.

    Hacks The Way To Do It– Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 馃憢 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Hacking.

    I used a couple of baseline photos for this challenge.

    So over to Hot Mods & away we go. The very first prompt came out pretty well.

    I wanted the guy to be more sneaky-looking, so I told the AI to put his hood up to hide his face; this came out really well.

    Now, that’s cool, but whilst we’re at it, let’s try cyber-punk.

    Again, love the outcome, particularly the control orb he’s using to do the hack. Now, let’s blend steampunk & cyber-punk.
