Chapter 1: Introduction to AI Art

This piece delves into the captivating world of AI-generated art, specifically through the Midjourney web application. As I embark on this creative journey, I must clarify that I do not consider myself a professional artist. My goal is to explore and express ideas through the artwork generated by this innovative tool.

In the previous installment, I presented some initial creations based on specific prompts provided to the Midjourney app. For those interested in learning more about this fascinating platform or viewing my creations, I encourage you to check out the articles linked below:

Chapter 2: Showcasing My AI Creations

As part of this ongoing series, I will share some of my latest artworks to highlight the intricacies of AI-generated imagery. My enthusiasm for this process continues to grow.

The Dark City

Instruction: “Full page scan of 1200s detailed concept art, work cyberpunk metallic theme, mathematics, and geometry, architecture, urban city section, medieval age, gray-scale, 8K matte, cinematic lighting, Pablo Picasso painting style.”

Expectation vs. Reality: While the result did not fully capture all the intended elements (the AI focused mainly on the highlighted phrases), it successfully conveys a somber, post-apocalyptic ambiance.

Vivid Presence

Instruction: “A beautiful goddess with a vivid color dress, standing in front of the Taj Mahal, starry night and stars, people walking in the background, 16k, very detailed, Leonardo da Vinci style painting.”

Expectation vs. Reality: The AI effectively interpreted most instructions, resulting in a vibrant image. However, the depiction of the goddess lacks facial recognition.

An Old Man

Instruction: “An old man crossing a street in Amsterdam city from one side, Harry Potter crossing the street from another side, Ironman character flying in the sky, orangish-yellow sun in the sky, a pet dog running away in the street, no other people, Van Gogh style, Monet style inspired, Dracula is drinking coffee in the corner coffee shop, a flower shop in one corner, very detailed, 8k, intricate details.”

Expectation vs. Reality: Due to the complexity of the instructions, the AI only utilized the key elements, but the outcome is impressive as a standalone artwork.

Moody ‘King Kong’ — Cinematic

Instruction: “King Kong-like character, roaring, 8k HD skin, fighting against Superman character, Superman in black metallic armor, both fighting in the city, a dramatic light, cinematic, realistic, fire outbreak in the background corner, rich details.”

Expectation vs. Reality: This image stands out for its cinematic quality, effectively portraying a dramatic showdown amidst urban chaos.

The Royal Bengal Tiger

Instruction: “Royal Bengal tiger, roaring, in London city, dark night, 8k resolution, very detailed.”

Expectation vs. Reality: A succinct prompt led to a better performance, resulting in a stunning visual that could serve as an ideal cover for literature.

Let me know which artwork resonates with you the most! If you have specific prompts in mind, I would love to create instruction-driven pieces based on your ideas and showcase them in future installments.
