“Don't wake me for the end of the world unless it has very good special effects.”
― Roger Zelazny, Prince of Chaos
End of March this year, I published a AI created initially with Wombo and finished in Deep Dream, titled APRIL FOOL - AI Orgy. At that time I said I will publish more. While I had generated dozens upon dozens of images since then, I did not publish any here, but did use a few for Facebook and Instagram Stories.
May I present now a piece I worked on today:
Digital Size nominal 58x50cm, 200px/inch resolution - created June 25th 2022 Face of the Apocalypse started as a AI generated image on DreamWombo using the text prompt "Apocalypse Revisited" with the "Surrealism" style. I then enhanced, cropped and mirrored the image in Photoshop, increased the resolution and smart sharpened for better definition.
Using the prompt and the Surrealism style, I created 2 variations (for the above I used the initial variation). You can regenerate several times, and it will yield different results. For this one, I only made two with the Surrealism style, which you can see here in the original:
I don't know if I mentioned this before, but playing with this becomes addictive. As for the Surrealist Style I almost think the program can read my mind!
I had recently also opined about AI, something like this: "The results of many of my quick jobs (and I had done dozens upon dozens of them) I do not consider very serious, but they could possibly be used as a idea for further exploration in analog art. If you use them as a starting point for digital exploration, then one can take them a bit more serious. But then again, I am more inclined to work analog with decalcomania. There is a certain satisfaction in getting your hands dirty and smelling paint, something digital art cannot give you.
Just my opinion, what do you think?

PRINTS OF MY ARTWORK AVAILABLE HERE: as an afterthought I used a old photo of myself in addition to the text prompt and used the Steampunk Style for this one. Set on medium for the image, there is hardly anything from it showing.
