Simply stunning - but what does your artwork look like without AI assistance, for reference?

Brand new to this AI image generator stuff. It is a lot of fun to play around with.
I messed around with the commands a bit from that reddit article from OP. Using chat cpt to assist in my command descriptions I was able to come up with something pretty cool.
What can I say? I like aliens!

Good question!
Without A.I., it would be back to the roots of handwork:
I have quite some experience with copper wire art, woodcarving, jewelry crafting, and clay sculpting, for example.
For this, I would first buy some broken computer motherboards, take pictures of them, and have those printed on foil wrap. I would then carve the general shape of the frog out of a big block of wood, after which I would wrap the foil around it and glue it in place.
Next, I would use a heat gun to remove components from the motherboards and use superglue to attach them to the foil-wrapped skin of the frog.
For the LEDs, you can carve a space inside the woodwork for a battery and wiring. With round-the-corner drills, you can create neat connecting holes to wire the LEDs up.
As a final step, I would apply multiple layers of varnish to achieve that shiny, liquid-looking skin effect.
All in all, it would take me a few months to create something like this by hand.
Now back to A.I.:
I had to learn how to install it on my local computer and how to apply the different effects to get the correct model working. I learned a lot from the original prompts, and they inspired me to delve deeper into this and figure out how to enable images like this with Flux A.I.
After that, you generate new images, and with each new image, you learn something new to integrate. Then off you go to generate another image. Altogether, I think it took me a few days to get this setup working.
Kind regards,

Awesome to see this!
Nice to get into this new artform, that seems to enable A.I. art without copyright infringement.
Kind regards,
The Traveler
Thanks for the explanation! It really helps in clarifying your motivations behind the crafting of the photorealistic images earlier in the thread. As mentioned above, it's compelling to imagine them realised as fully functional objet d'art lighting pieces. Sounds like you have the skills to do that too!
Here are a couple of UFO. Again used chat gpt to assist with commands and I used Flux.1 AI image generator. Just a couple key word changes and the whole image is completely different. Pretty fun!

Nice. I prefer the first alien fella, since there was far less visibility of that fudging of textures which rather irks me about many AI images. I bet @The Traveler has a few tips on how to optimise prompts away from that, since it must be a matter of practice - and likely also processor power. My POS machine would probably just lock up if I even began to attempt something like this

I know what you mean. I really thought the original AI art was just so cool I wanted to try it out. My computer is like 15 years old and I had no issues. The flux.1 ai image generator was free online, you just sign in and get free credits. I have used all my credits up but I had so much fun creating weird things with AI today I may subscribe for more credits and have a new little hobby. I am learning how much the language you use changes what image you end up with. It very sensitive to every detail you use. I liked using the chat gpt to help me come up with commands. It helps me better understand what commands work best. I can tweak out my own commands soon enough if I keep at it. I highly recommend trying AI image generators if you have not yet.
Craiyon is lots of fun to mess around with for completely free and a good one to start out with.
I had a bit of a mess around with some online image generation two or three years back but lost interest once the controversy started to blow up, if not before. It looks as though things have progressed (of course) since then - and if flux really respects artist's rights, I'd be tempted to have another go.
"Just sign in and get free credits" is the sort of phrase that gets my suspicions up though
Nah.. they are like crack dealers. First couple are free to get ya hooked. Pretty soon your lined up outside the AI image generator crack house looking for more credits.I had a bit of a mess around with some online image generation two or three years back but lost interest once the controversy started to blow up, if not before.

I thought the pricing seemed fair, with the free version everything you create is publicly accessible. You can copyright your creations with paid subscriptions. I assume you could use it to create some really cool advertising with the paid subscription. So far I can't get free AI image generators to create signs, they always jumble up your words. I tried a DMT NEXUS sign and it came out saying DM iT Ne s.
And craiyon is completely free.. no credits.. free crack for all. Although the images are not as crisp or detailed as Flux, it is still fun. Even my kiddo had fun making some hello kitty stuff.
