I feel inspired to share more of the AI art I have started to make. I haven't only been creating Goddesses but to be honest, so far it's what I enjoy the most. And as I'm cultivating a feeling of joy as much as possible in my life in general at the moment, why not stick to that for now? But I promise, my work will be more varied going forward. Actually, I have already a lot I could share. But I prefer to keep my posts rather 'tidy' and clean. So today I'll share 3 different Goddess themes or what to call them. And well, all of them might not have so much of a Goddess vibe. But who am I to tell what a Goddess should look like?
In case you haven't had an opportunity to check out my very first 'AI art post', you can do so here. (Some of my favorites so far are presented there).
So what the images in this post have in common is a more dramatic expression. I wanted to play around with that more. For my first 'set' of images, I decided I wanted dark hair and a red dress. I also imagined a background of big golden metal leaves but the algorithm didn't really get that part. After some time I decided to let that go and instead started to build on some of the results I already had.
I like the image below but I didn't explore it further because it doesn't have the dramatic more intense expression I wanted.
Same with this one below. Even though it's in the right direction.
Here I was starting to get somewhere. I like her red makeup but it took a while to get there.
The image below is a remastered version of the image above. I actually like that only one eye is red. I'm not super happy about the leaves. They look more like autumn leaves than golden metal ones but well, it's hard to control the algorithm, haha.
Here all of a sudden the algorithm decided to place two big greenish leaves in the foreground. Not so happy about that but here the background is more like I imagined.
And here the Goddess all of a sudden appears in some kind of forest. (To be clear I used the same prompt for all these six images). I liked that but again, not so happy about the green leaves in the foreground.
Moving on to a new prompt. Here I wanted long, blond, wild hair, a crown, and a black dress. I also wanted her to be in the forest.
It took a while to arrive at the image below but I started to find this kind of expression interesting (it wasn't what I had in mind though). Of course, her hands look strange (which is often the case with AI) and I'm not sure about the stick coming out from her right hip, but I like the overall expression.
I bit of a different expression with black lipstick. But I like that her hand looks rather 'normal' here and that her hair somehow looks quite realistic. (As in the image above).
At first, I wasn't so happy about this image (below) because of how her dress looked. But then I found it interesting that except for that, the image looks almost photo-realistic. Or it looks a bit like a photograph that has been edited in this way. Like the dress and crown have been manually added.
Here the algorithm decided to go in a different direction and I didn't like that so much so I didn't explore that further.
I also wanted some closeups, which you see below. These six images are created using the same prompt as well.
Moving on to the final 'theme' for today. Here I had an idea of a Goddess emerging from underneath the water. I also wanted to use lotus flowers as a symbol.
I like the image above but it was hard to create more without the lotus flowers looking out of place. Like in the image below.
Here I guess the flowers look more integrated but it took a long time to get here.
I tried to explore the image below more but I actually gave up. It turned out, it was a difficult prompt to work with.
So I changed the prompt a bit. Stating that I only wanted one big lotus flower, that was glowing.
The image below is a remastered version. But also here, I spent a lot of time and this set of images isn't the one I'm most happy with. So far I have learned that sometimes the algorithm just gets it 'right' without much effort from my side and sometimes I just have to work a lot to move it in the direction I want. And sometimes it's just best to walk away from the prompt altogether and try a new one.
Needless to say though, I'm hooked when it comes to making AI art so more will come 🙂
All images are created by me with Midjourney.
Thanks for reading 🌸
Love and blessings to you all 💚
