The following images were made using Leonardo.ai, my build of Disco Diffusion, photo-manipulation, photobashing & sketching in Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.
The coat of arms of the oldest form of existence in time and space, a symbol of unity that transcends dreams and realities. From human imagination to generative AI models, dreams can take a digital form accessible to all.
I tried to imagine and sketch the blazon of a non-terrestrial empire, and feed it to Leonardo, resulting in the mixing of technological intricacy and organic shapes.
The resulting coats of arms could make for very cool looking tattoos, if they were to be reworked and adapted a little bit for the skin and the body's shape by a professional tattoo artist.
I couldn't decide on the form that a blazon should take, so I oscillated between the old coat of arms/shield symbol, and the shoulder patch/vest hanging kind of representation.
Satisfied with the results overall, yeah, but I would love to dig deeper on each of these designs and start manually detailing and enhancing each of them in photoshop.
