Hello Alien Art Community,
It's been a while but i'm back from a long deep dive journey into the world of AI and other private things.
Here a short narrative in graphic novel/comics style.
The pictures are made with StableDiffusion models, then composed and designed with Comic Life software.
The stories will discuss the dilution of reality blended into our technocratic civilisation. They will all have in common the start point that one day we will wake up and everything will have changed.
Previous works from last year will remain as traces from the past.
Nowadays, while image synthetizers are more and more powerful, drivings AI to depicts exactly what you wanted to draw is still challenging. The real challenge is to be more creative than the machine. The machine needs us to be fed with new data.
If you have any question related to creative process, drop me a comment, i will be glad trying to satisfy your curiosity.
My Greetings to the Community.
These are excellent! I've been wanting to create a comic story, so I might give Comic Life a whirl. Did you create all the images in one sitting or over multiple sessions?
Great job!
Hi @litguru, glad you like it. thx.
ComiLife is not expensive and is great help for arranging the cases and speech bubbles. You can easily craft your pages with a minimum effort. I use it since a long time now.
I made a pause in publishing comics last year. Realizing the tech was improving a lot each day. But i kept having some evening where i created pictures with the different appearing tools ( new models, or new diffusion colab etc). Each session is usually dedicated to a topic ( like : "Financial board meeting at company headquarter, in high office glass building, in european watercolor comic style" etc. Playing with the prompts to get different angle view, or keep a charachter. I retain usually 15 to 30 pictures.
After a couple of months i realized i had hundreds of pictures without real scenario but a lot of ideas in a chaotic bundle of entangled topics... It's now time to gather some of them inside a storytelling. Short snapshots of narrative around a theme. Which in some way is connected to my previous creation wave.
That's a great description of your process. AI has changed how approached story telling too. As you said, the images tend to trigger topics and stories then one has to weave them together into a cohesive narrative. Well done!
Glad to see you back. I was wondering where you might have been.
Hi @castleberry, glad you still there ! As i explained to litguru, i was more studying and exploring than creating and my private life balance was a bit different last year. ( btw, congratulation, if i good catch it you are managing diapers as well ). Bottom line i was more deep diving coding LLM interfaces than graphism ( https://github.com/dbddv01/GPT-Sequencer ). In the meantime i collected bunch of pictures and now it's time to gather them in my puzzled universe.
