Greetings, artists from all worlds and all realities!

Today, I thought I'd share with you some collaboration projects I've done with @Death.Milk.Designs. I hope you like it!

The following images were made using my custom build of Disco Diffusion, photo-manipulation and digital drawing through Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.

More artworks on my Instagram!

First collaboration with Death.Milk.Designs

@Death.Milk.Designs is a generative art creator and a quite unique MidJourney user. We've been in contact for a while now, sharing music and art to each other, 'till one day we decided "HEY! Let's try something, we'll get some stuff I generate on MJ and you'll use them as initial_images in your creative workflow! Let's see what Disco Diffusion and photobashing could do to these things"!

So here are the 3 images he sent me to work with:

So!

I ran these images whole into Disco Diffusin first, then went on with my usual slicing into 9 parts, and ran each part back into DD with different prompts, and stitched them back up together in Gimp!
Compositing was of course done in darktable.

Here is what I sent him back!

The Acheron, River of Madness

Storm On The Acheron

For the two last ones,

I had too many slices and cuts, so I decided to make 2 versions of each, in slightly different styles. It was a very fun little experiment, and I'm looking forward to more collabs like this.

Right now, @Death.Milk.Designs and I are working on a much more advanced series of collaborative pieces, cross-softwares, that will consist of multiple artworks inspired by medieval fantasy stories.

I hope this was insightful for you and at least a little bit interesting, I'm trying to diversify my workflow as much as possible using AI and the creative technologies that I'm already familiar with!
