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.
Here are the results of a few scribbles and sketches I scanned and ran through Leonardo.ai, to add colours and story to the otherwise emptiness.
I do enjoy scribbling tendrils and vines and tentacles and this kind of stuff. I find it very relaxing, almost like a form of meditation, to let my pencil run on its own doing long simple organic shapes.
I once saw a video about Jean Giraud (Moebius) recommending doing this kind of exercise to relax the mind, or to come up with new ideas. Little did he know that AI would help me bring this scribbles to life !
I usually give myself between 30 min and an hour of just drawing shapes and lines and curves to fill up a page of my notebook (it's a small notebook), before deciding alright this is ready to be ran through Leonardo.
Then I used some of these scribbles rendered by Leo as initial image to try and create some new kind of creature LoRa for future references.
Yeah, definitely keeping those newly birthed creatures from my new made Leo's LoRa to create more complex monsters in the future, I'm satisfied with the results !
Welp I hope you enjoyed this little visual experiment !
