    Seasons Greetings

    Hi All 👋 With an increased workload over the next couple of weeks (some unexpected), I’ll be taking a wee break from my Fan Of… & WWE series. Both will return on 08 Jan 2024.

    I’ll still be around with occasional posts & of course, my contributions to Cee’s FOTD with magical AI Artwork.

    Here are some AI artwork images I worked on from an original shot of a steam locomotive; I had to go with a seasonal theme

    For the first two pictures, I went for a more futuristic-looking train based on the locomotive; the first is a real blend of modern & old, almost as if the engine is morphing from new to old as it moves along. The second, when I added more elements to the prompt, came up with a train than looks like the famous Japanese Shinkansen. For the third, I styled it as more of a cartoon image.

    Happy holidays & I hope you all have a great New Year & an even better 2024
