Made from a SL portrait and enhanced by Stable Diffusion.
If anyone is curious, here is the original picture provided by KT.

Thrilled to get a couple of grab and go Moon shots and be on Explore with this one! Thanks so much for the faves and kind comments, all appreciated ;0)
Conditions were rather blustery and it was spitting with rain intermittently - not ideal but nevertheless awesome shots!
Dal sito museotorino.it: "Edificio di significato documentario della diffusione del gusto Art Nouveau. La data di costruzione, anche in mancanza di prove documentarie, è da ascrivere ai primi anni del Novecento". Nel sito dell'Archivio Storico di Torino si trova una scheda che si riferisce al progetto del "Tettuccio", datato 1909.
The New York Times Ethicist recently published a "ruling" on the ethics of AI generative art. He was responding to a person who wanted to use an Etsy image but was concerned the seller was profiting off the work of artists used to train generative AI. The Ethicist pointed out that artists have always stood on the shoulders of other artists, an argument that resonates with me. The image you see here is not simply the result of prompting an image in Midjourney because I made quite a few changes to it in Kira, using the Stable Diffusion plugin and using my digital painting skills and tools (like rearranging the chickens, recreating the woman in the distance, giving the man a hat etc.). But my influence on the image goes deeper. I used Midjourney's personalize parameter to generate images that reflect my aesthetic, color choices, brush work, level of detail and so on. The training was simple. I was given four thousand sets of widely diverse images and told to choose one of them. In other words, this is my unconscious "style." Unconscious because I did not deliberately tell Midjourney everything I prefer when I am painting. And in the act of grabbing from the gush of images this personalization parameter produced, I chose this image. Probably because I have re-discovered NC Wyeth who is famous for his illustrations of the old childhood novel "Treasure Island." He influences how I use illustration to tell stories. And Edward Hopper influences the mood of my work. And Norman Rockwell. Did Rockwell absorb NC Wyeth? I think so. Caravaggio gives my work its lighting. And perhaps NC Wyeth's son Andrew suffused my work. He taught me how to pay attention to the world immediately around me. And perhaps to some degree hundreds of more artists famous and obscure seen in museums, art workshops, videos and Internet images. In fact I have produced over 800 images of the Ravensway world using this amazing productive power of AI. A world that has storytelling power.

The original picture is an amazing SL portrait. Stable Diffusion re-imagined it.
Paper and ink.
I’ve seen some lovely images today for the Smile on Saturday group’s Pic of Paper theme this week. All sorts of images of pretty paper shapes and crafted objects.
Well one this isn’t, I’m afraid. Typical left-brainer I guess I went for answering my self-posed question about which of the qualities of paper I like best.
I’ve always wanted to be a watercolour painter, but I can’t draw for twopence though so that was doomed. I went back to wanting to be an astronaut or a fireman instead.
I love the way colours bleed together in wet watercolours. The abstract creations you get from the diffusion patterns of the pigments in the paper I find fascinating.
So this is a macro of cartridge paper backlit with my trusty LED lightbox. It’s a macro just over 5 centimetres across. The backlighting really emphasising the pools of pigment trapped in the fibre cells of the paper. It also reveals the texture in the paper. It’s prettier with front lighting but this is hard science we’re doing lol.
I used four Diamine fountain pen inks, loading a toothpick with an ink and then touching the paper which I’d previously wet. The colours were Scarlet, Imperial Purple, Dark Green and Royal Blue. Interestingly the purple seems to resolve into a mix of the scarlet and blue.
So we have it. An abstract image of sorts that demonstrates one of the qualities of paper I enjoy.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
[Developed and processed in Affinity Photo. Sorting out the white balance (the paper was creamy) and the contrast, colour and exposure was a nightmare… Very slight dark vignette.]
One thing i was really interested with the AI was what i could do with expressions.. it just seems more raw than trying to achieve this in sl...
"Laser Diffusion", droplet collisions with laser intersections.... one of the "Stay At Home" series of "Table Top Photography"
Fog transforms the world with billions of tiny lenses hanging in the air. They diffract light, diffusing the sun's glow, rendering distance as layers of cumulatively attenuated contrast, and simplifying the landscape by constricting visibility. And what obscures sometimes reveals: different depth, different forms, different textures, and different sense of significance. The world becomes, at the end of a season, briefly cool and gray and damp and new — presaging spring and winter at the same time.

The first morning of the hike to Khibiny mountain - the Sun shines brightly, waters are calm and peaceful. You can enjoy this for ever and ever...
More photos of this trip here.
It brings us far ^ ^
Inspired by lovely friends in SL and on Flickr... Just had to try it on my humble avi. Gasp!
Created through Stable Diffusion
Inspired by Sparklebottom Lasertit's series on this flickr.com/photos/sparklebottom/ .. I went and trained Kira into the AI and got lotsa fun shots! more to come!

I am revisiting a response I gave regarding Ai usage classified as "Art".
>It is a playground for the craft –Anyone can hit “generate,” but crafting the right prompt is an art in itself.
Same muscles, new tools. Painters swap brushes; I swap models, seeds, and tweaks.
More eyeballs, more inspiration. AI lets my vision travel further and spark new ideas.
Reclaiming my story. I use these tools to honor my culture and ancestors. ((*Especially since they want to erase the Tuskegee Airman and Harriet Tubman from the books and galleries!!!)
