I grew this alien creature
to wear into battle as a helmet. It smarts a little when the pincers go up my nose but once the brainmesh is complete it gives me the reaction time of sonic the hedgehog.
Process
Standard alienflesh technique on the pincers, I grew the tissue on top of scaffolding I made from bighorn sheep skull. Five AI deepstyle generated layers, each layered back with the preceding versions and original photo to create a new base image for the next AI layer.
The final alienflesh - I cut a chunk of this out to form the lobes on either side of the alien creature (the pincer points were re-used from a previous alienflesh creature experiment)
The braincap section is a nearly unmodified (only mirrored) crop from photo of a morel mushroom that sprouted up in my back yard.
Nice to see you're back!
whut diebitch is here again?!? Oh snap if I had known that I might have posted again sooner LOL how are ya?
Yes, just came back a few months ago! Are you back for good?
probably not really - I might pop off the random art post once in a while when the itch hits me and I get the time. I am a busy guy right now though. Watching my two boys of course but also I went pretty aggressive on my garden this year and I am struggling to keep up with canning and pickling, on top of some house repairs on the old house we bought. Most of my computer time I am dedicating to a couple big art projects I am working on
I'm about to get busy as well so I understand, but looking foward to your projrcts😀
Wow ... you worked all that up from a mushroom in your backyard ... AMAZING.
I'm really glad to see you, because your kindness to me is about to go to another level ... I'm doing a presentation on how to start on Hive for the writing agency I'm a part of ... which I'm a part of because of work I did here ... which I stayed and did because of your starter generosity ... doesn't look as impressive to the world as this skull cap, but I SEE IT, and I thank you!
that is awesome :) BTW I never did that crossdimensional NFT portal project we chatted about because I ended up learning more about the platform I planned on using (OpenSea) and realized I didn't want to mint NFTs there. Then I got sidetracked by a different project as is my wont. But I appreciate your willingness to jump into my creative universe and co-create! Love Carl
We COULD just do the same project on NFT Showroom here on Hive ... promote the wazoo out of it ... but HEY, no pressure!
