Samples of My Work
I've gone through quite a few phases in my AI art exploration. I started out with some pretty simple prompt-and-go art that you can see in the banners of many of the pages on this site, as well as in a few of the older products.
But as I became more sophisticated in using the tools, my work has deepened quite a bit. Today I'm working with Stable Diffusion, The Gimp, and several other tools in producing more hand-crafted work. As with any AI art, it's always possible to get a "good" result from just a straight prompt. What's hard is when you have something very specific in mind and you want to get the AI to render exactly what you have in mind. That requires a command of all various models, scripts, modes, etc. that you can bring to bear. You also have to know when AI isn't the right tool.
 Below are a few examples. See also, my Site Banner Samples.
Fantasy Characters and Creatures
I try to do some work with generative AI each day, and right now that's in the form of characters and creatures for fantasy worlds. Some of them are my takes on established tropes and some are more originally my own. In all cases these are much more than a prompt, and they are truly my own creations in collaboration with AI tools.
The Cybernetic Assassin
I call her "demo," a code name that I imagine she uses with some wry wit. Demo is a cybernetic assassin that I crafted in about 2 hours from concept to initial prompting all the way through to many passes of inpainting and style adjustment. There are still things I'm not happy about, but she's one of my favorites to date.
A Character Portrait: The Engineer
A friend needed a character portrait for a roleplaying game, so I worked with him over the course of an hour or so. We went through a few iterations and some reference work that he found online to cobble together this roguish engineer who can be found in the science fiction setting of Starfinder.
