Updated Description:

This is an original work of art, created from a photo of my cat, done as a memorial to his passing last week.

Here's a thumbnail of that unprocessed photo.

From there the photo was processed using Photoshop and Luminar AI, both of which contain AI based photo enhancement tools which I use.

I then paired that photo with a set of textures and stylistic elements that I thought would enhance the result -- and this process too used AI based algorithms to do what is called a Neural Style Transfer. I repeated the neural style transfer several times, to get a a couple of images that I liked.

But none of those were quite right, so I took several of those neural style transfer results and added them as layers on top of the original image in photoshop, masking and blending in various ways to get the final result.

I probably spent 1-2 hours in total on the process, and used several different AI algorithm driven tools to get the results I wanted, and am very happy with the result.
