and of wasting time trying to understand it.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

I was curious what would happen if I combined two AI programs. - the initial image was created with Dream WOMBO and now I went through 2 cycles of Deep Dream with it. Since I like to preserve a good part of the initial image, I am not going any deeper.
Initial image created in DreamWOMBO: https://app.wombo.art/
second steps in DEEP DREAM: https://deepdreamgenerator.com/
These are AI programs: https://www.britannica.com/technology/artificial-intelligence
But this was just the first stroke - I have now mirrored the results after additional Photoshop manipulations, and added two separate selfie images from Deep Dream which I generated with two different styles - in this case using a psychedelic drawing for one and a acrylic painting for the other cloned in image.
prior to cloning
here I had already done some additional work in PhotoshopIMAGES I WORKED WITH
BAD HAIR DAY SELFIE
Deep Dream Style using one of my paintings
BAD HAIR DAY SELFIE
Deep Dream Style using a old psychedelic drawing
DRAGON TALES in DEEP DREAM
this is the one I started with in Dream WOMBO
Here is a hint: I found if I used profanity in the text to generate the image, it seemed to yield better results
not just this time, but every time I tried it. The template I used was Steam Punk
I don't know, maybe I went a little over board, but just generating something by entering a sentence, with results in seconds, is maybe a interesting game to play, but there should be more to that, like, a bit of artistic input beyond that.
Chasing the results through Deep Dream was one way, and then manipulating it in Photoshop I could get some more interesting results.
using a surreal painting for my style
using a psychedelic drawing for my style
Maybe I could have milked these images for additional posts, but again, that is not me. Somehow they hang all together in the process which eventually wound up to be the lead image I posted.

MY INTRODUCTION - ABOUT MY WORK
should you not be on the blockchain, or have no upvote power, or this post is already older than 7 days, you can always just buy me a coffee.
This is a super interesting combo of art. I like your method with this one. That Tolkien quote was awesome as well! hahaha
Thanks - yeah, I like to mix things up. Just hitting a few buttons doesn't do it for me. Some effort and personal input has to be there.
That's what makes your art stand out... the special touches! Keep up the great work and it's good to see you back. Going to answer your other comment now! =) Cheers
Vor fast 20 Jahren mit einer Ausverkaufssoftware um 98,- Schilling ! gemacht - die Landschaften mit einem gratis 2,5 mb (megabite) Terragen-Landschaftsgenerator, die komplette Seite handgescriptet, Tabellen, auch der Player ist Eigenbau ..zwos brauch I AI - na echt ..
Natürlich sieht das Ganze auf heutigen Screens nicht so eindrucksvoll aus wie damals am 15 Zoll Röhrengerät und dem Pentium II 32 bit -- aber nochmal .. auch mit einfachsten Programmen kann man tolle Sachen machen ..
PS: auch Terragen ins inzwischen ins Gigantische gewachsen, schwer zu handhaben, teils zu kaufen .. aber bessere Landschaften macht man deshalb trotzdem nicht, wie Usergalerien beweisen ..

My first Photoshop goes back that far in time. It was a pirate copy a friend at work gave me, that went down with a computer crash some 10 years ago. It worked on Windows XP initially. I think it was version 7. I once had Adobe Album 3, it worked only on Windows XP. It came with a Wacom Tablet I purchased way back when.
I still don't buy Photoshop. The one I currently use is not supported anymore, available free on the net. This what I use: Adobe Photoshop 9 CS2 9.0. It hangs up sometimes, if it does I need to reboot the PC to make it work again.

Hello @thermoplastic. Nice digital artwork. I love the dragons. I also use DeepDream and find it amazing to transform my digital designs.
Thanks for sharing.
Me recuerda a El Bosco, muy bueno!
