Playing with AI art - Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover

AI

What if we keep the same verbiage for all 8 attempts? Only if we can get one that actually sticks and produces something of good quality. Not gonna lie, I am skeptical about this image because it seems like there might not be a lot to work with, but I'm determined for AI to prove me wrong!

First shot and we have a winner! Is it the verbiage, is it the image? Who knows! But this has taken my new fave spot. It's turned the photo into an acrylic painting and added colour while keeping that street vibe, it's going to be hard to top this! Why can't they all come out like this? ;)

Another epic go! I'm keeping this verbiage until it fails me :) I really like how this one gives such a bright but calming vibe, perhaps the amalgamating of the colours with the cooling, peaceful water.

Sadly, it has let me down, j/k, to be fair, I should have expected it would stick a castle once it got the chance, and it was a perfect image to add a bridge. This is the ideal backdrop for the opening of a Disney film, wouldn't you say?

Style - anime

Since when was anime the same as Pirates of the Carribean? Oddly, I don't mind it, not my faves, but it's adding layers of dimension and being inventive with it, instead of just playing with the North Laine signs in a previous post.

Fantasy and Cartoon are basically competing for which can add more castles... Although I will give Fantasy 3D kudos for trying to at least make the castle look a little more run-down and 'urban', land beneath the pier looks quite intriguing...

It's interesting, I wasn't expecting this to go down this route. Completely ignored the colour ask, but it's adding a story with building a city at the other end of the pier. And it almost looks like it's been hit by a flash flood.

Spot on, on the Van Gogh vibe, it actually looks like it was an original. Doesn't breathe the street feel that we're going for though. And it's used the similar colour story that are typical of Van Gogh style.

Style - sketch

I was determined to bring it back to a good one to round out these 8 attempts, and I think it did a good job. It looks like a cool sketch, but kept some colour around, which makes it look more interesting. I was expecting it to make the entire thing B&W.

Conclusion

I'm so glad this one has redeemed the North Laine Signs post, I think this is a great lesson that the images that you think will produce the best work, aren't necessarily true and those that you don't even give a second look could completely shock you and end up being your album cover!
