hey~ i had a post prepared but then the images weren't showing up for a while then i kinda was distracted for a bit so it's suddenly been a week since my last post XD sorry about that~
i mentioned in my last post that these digital mandala piccars are more supplemental art pieces, not really serious stuff, but still it gives people a way to be creative and original. I mean, you still have to draw the mandala, even if you're not colouring it ... I guess! XD But yes, it's like something you can do to pretty up a thingy, say like a logo or just a splash image for your post.
Sooooo, as you can see at the top of this post, i've made the mandala from my last post into a banner for this post, and it's basically just slapping the text on top of it :D But it sure adds prettiness to the post, right??? :D
Deep Dreaming with Google~
from last post, @yashny commented that she's been making online mandalas and that she will show me soon * ___ * i am excited to see~ but she also seemed to run into a bit of a confuse about the deep dream generator thingy so i decided to make a video tutorial to show people how easy it is to play around with it (once you've made your own mandala or drawing!)
here is the smol video tutorial :>
for this tutorial, i made a SQUARE format of a mandala to show you that they do not always have to be in a roundish form :) Here is the uncoloured drawing that I made with sketch.io~
I uploaded that onto the Deep Dream Generators and came up with various results !
This one was through the SMOOTH style, I think~
DARK CITY!
Something WINTER :)
And this was the one I showed in the video tutorial! :D It looks like an artistic tile pattern, doesnt it? For fancy bathrooms somewhere, or something like that XD
OKAY, so that should help people operate the Deep Dream Generator :D I hope these little creative projects can motivate authors to go through that little extra lengths of trying something arty online without having to have a lot of resources. You don't need to have drawing tablet or access to an art software like Photoshop or whatever, you dont even need pencil and paper~ You just need the internet~ I drew all of these mandalas with a mouse :D
There is one last website that I wanna show you all but I haven't really formatted the video or the piccars so that'll have to wait until next time and it will be the series FINALE so to speak, about these digital mandalas~ ^ __ ^
Until next time, see you, friends o/

Arty tile works, I was thinking it looks like embroidery, like a super fancy hankerchief or patch for a quilt or a tapestry or something. People could definitely have fun with that thing XD
oooh yeah, i can see it has a hanky definitely or as a super fancy patch for a quilt XD.... man, that'd be SOME posh quilt~
for plagiarists and art thieves, i think they probably can spend less time making these things and BE ORIGINAL, instead of spending time trying to be crafty and then get caught anyway later y'know? hahahah~
fyn <3 !!!!!
Most definitely a much more productive use of time!
hey cool to see you are playing around with DDG. I fell down that rabbit hole and have still never crawled out LOL. Have you played around with deep style or just sticking with the deep dream?
Tonight's alien exploration:
i havent used it before so im just puttering about in the shallow ends :D it takes too long to render and i get bored easily hahahah
that look really colourful and fun and very weird :D really cool, carl!
The mandala (original) is very cool! :) and the last sample too..
It seems the lighter the images uploaded to DeepDream are, the better results. As I'm mostly trying with heavyer, colorful pix with many different elements. Sometimes the Magic just happens :)
i still need to try out darker pics to throw at it, as i didn't realise that it work better with lighter images :O but that's super cool to know! thanks :D

Been drawing different kind of thing I see :> I like the one you use as a thumbnail the most.
thanks rainey!
i've been trying to motivate people to be creative without having too much drawing skills~
we can still be original and artistic if we really wanna!
