The story of pet snail and TV shaped head

in Alien Art Hive24 days ago

It is a bit lagging I know but I decided to start learning AI image generation tools to turn one of my idea into visuals. My first attempt was with Artbreeder and I especially liked the built in collage making tool, named as "collager". As a fresh user I had some free credits to play. So I did...

There was one theme in my mind to depict, I wanted a person whose head looked like a shipping carton box with full of daily items stuffed in - symbolizing an overloaded mind. And also the person could have may be a snail pet walking beside, instead of a dog. Later on I realized an old fashioned TV instead of carton box would suit my intent better, and I entered a prompt like:

"A person with an old television shaped head walking the snail pet".

And with the help of collager, I also placed an eye on the screen as well as another snail on top of the TV.

Here are some of the results:

Here, I would like to take you a few steps back and share the source of inspiration for this "TV head and the snail pet" idea. One day, I took a simple photo while out on a walk. I didn’t think much of it at the time. But later, when I looked at it again, it sparked the idea. There was this woman walking with her dog along the sea side. And I was trying to capture a story of people passing by. This woman looked a bit over loaded in her mind and the dog looked very happy. I saw a mood contrast in between the two. Normally people take the pets outside for a walk in order to boost their well being. But in this scene it seemed the other way around to me... The dog was helping to empty her mind. Maybe her daily life fills her mind with constant thoughts—tasks, goals, responsibilities, endless to-do lists. Here is the original shot I took:

Then I changed my AI tool. I was not aware of the interface PeakD provided. But when I noticed I wanted to give a try. I used "Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra (BFL)" and this time I improved the prompt a little bit, sometimes excluding tetris, as below:

"A person with an old antenna television shaped head showing a tetris game on the screen, walking the snail pet, palm trees street, photorealistic"

A modern person with a TV as a head with antennas sticking out, symbolizing a mind overloaded with thoughts and information. Next to them, there’s always a small pet—usually a snail—representing slowness, grounding, and support.

And here below are the results.

All the best...
