The following images were made using Leonardo.ai, my custom build of Disco Diffusion, photo-manipulation, photobashing and sketching through Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.
Playing around with colors and textures to create dreamy wallpapers
I was chasing both a realistic rock textures in some parts, and a dreamy watery drippy looking watercolor effect
I had in mind some caves I've visisted in the North of Vietnam and in Southern New Zealand, since those are the only references I've got
At the end of the day, I've found Leonardo.ai to be very reactive to specific location words, such as "Ninh Binh", or "Tusheti", when it comes to cliffs and rock textures
For the paint texture and "unfinished" vibe, I had to dig deep and start experimenting with words combination
I don't think I'll ever used online found wallpapers for my desktop, with the quantity of awesome looking landscape I'm producing these days
If you want some, they are all free and 4k, accessible on my Deviant Art
And if you want to have fun and make your own, give a shot to generative technologies. If you're a newbie at this, Leonard.ai might be fun for you, compared to the rest of the codes and collabs I use
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
