12 Portraits Carved from Norway's Mountain Landscape
AI-Generated Artistry
I initially set out to create my own version of a Norwegian troll using AI. However, as often happens when experimenting with AI, I ended up somewhere completely different. You see, when you're working with AI, these "mistakes" tend to pop up. But they're not really mistakes. They're more like... happy accidents. And they're my favorite part of the whole process.
These unexpected detours are what I love the most about generating AI images. Or should we call them illustrations? I’m not sure. But one thing is certain: for the creative minds among us - not everyone, of course, but I think many can relate - this AI technology supercharges our creativity. I have never experienced so much inspiration and so many ideas, and they just keep coming.
With ChatGPT as my extra brain, which knows pretty much everything there is to know, it's easy to create at a pace that was unimaginable just 6 months ago. And this doesn't just apply to AI-generated images. It's a game-changer in many sectors, not just in the realm of creativity.
I’m not sure if this is a good thing though. But for now, I love it. I’m home with a broken leg and have been for about five weeks, with three more weeks to go. Thanks to Midjourney's ability to produce these kinds of images in no time, I have generated thousands of images. The number of images is in five digits. I am embarrassed to say how many. But since Midjourney produces images at such a rapid pace, I haven't spent as much time on this as it might seem.
Some of the prompts I used are listed below the images. Copy the prompts and try them out for yourself. I am not sure you will get the same result, but if you experiment a little, you will probably achieve wonders.
Midjourney prompts:
