No, you shouldn't give up on the hand crafted art. I will eventually be using these for inspiration for analog art. I have a post or two from recent that talk about AI art. You can find the links and get the info to come try it out for free! I include a lot of the text prompts so people can try the process and compare results. Success generating art is hit or miss... usually miss! So, it's a lot of trial and error.
These and the other AI augmented artworks are generated using a text prompt and a bot initiates the generative process based on your settings and commands. It's a simple process but with almost endless possibilities. The pumpkin portraits were my favorite too... and i had more saved to share but they are on my crapped out computer and these were the only ones i had saved on the cloud to share here.
Thanks for stopping by and don't lose heart. Your art is top notch and worth the time and efforts!
