This week I'm circling back around to the very first AI concept I played with: circus strongmen being tickled by clowns. There's something so vintage pin-up-y about this scenario and I just love everything about it. The over-the-top fluffy feathers versus muscles, clowns as ticklers, the powerful man trying to hold something heavy above his head while he's gently tickle-teased. All of it pushes my buttons.
This also leads me to some thoughts about my AI stuff in general. I was trying to push Bing to make as unique scenes as I possibly could, but some worked better than others (and some turned me on more than others) so I have a stockpile of images that fall into the same basic categories. I made a ton of "Gitchy Goo" ones, a lot of "Tickle Monster" ones, etc. I'm trying to figure out a way to cheaply package them together for a low price, since I stand by the fact that no one making AI images is actually creating anything, they're just cleverly manipulating a system. I wouldn't want to charge too much for them. Still, there was some time and trial and error involved in creating them and I do think some of them are worthy of sharing. I don't want to completely oversaturate this platform with AI (some would say I've done that already).
Now that two major real-world projects are over for me and I'm back from TKLfest I will be focusing more on getting back to a much more regular drawing schedule.
