Been messing around with this AI image generation tool called "Disco Diffusion". Its pretty neat, def. has a pretty strong learning curve in order to make anything useful, but now that I'm getting the hang of it I'm starting to discover some use cases. I got this idea to use some AI images I generate with prompts to make a cohesive Matte painting... then get it printed to a large canvas and then use real oil paint to make a hybrid type Impasto painting. This is the first real Matte painting I've made so far with this process. Anyway, ask away if you have any questions, the bottom two images are the main images I used that were generated by AI with prompts (disco diffusion). So that gives you an idea with how much post I did on this after the generation. Oh yea, I up-res'd this a lot with Topez AI Image enhancer, so its at print scale and painted a bit more after that.
