About Me and the Images:

These images are all created by me. They start with an idea and are then input into an AI art generator, taking quite some time. Typically, there is several hours of work after rendering to fix flaws. Even on images that initially look "perfect," flaws are found, and the work in Photoshop can far outweigh the work in the first phase.

Do I consider myself the artist in this scenario?

No? Yes? I mean, they started with me, they ended with me; they are ideas from my head, and now you can visualize them as well.

I am the one who writes and creates huge, almost 'code'-looking descriptions of the type of image, down to the exact hair or tree, that I want to see. This kind of sunrise, this type of face with freckles, dark shorts, 3 (not 4) white rabbits, with 2 Mech warriors off to the side, bullet holes, blood, and a river all around it.

This writing, this input, may get nothing worthwhile to look at for days or ever without extensive rewriting of the commands, the description I want to see. And what I get may suck as an image. The ratio is about 1 out of 100, and that 1 almost ALWAYS needs more work.

What comes back? Some good, a lot bad. Most require at least an hour or more of work in Photoshop.

Is it art? I think it is.

Am I the artist in this scenario, I ask again?.

WEll I created them but .... I did not DRAW these with a mouse or stylus. I did post-work AFTER, but they did not start with me sitting down and drawing a head, then arms and legs.

That's about as far as I want to debate, and I would not be sharing these "Images" if I did not love looking at them.

They are all unique, they all have my own look and feel because of how I wrote the instructions. Perhaps the core engines were trained on millions of other ideas, but in the end, like a writer, they created something unique.

I love looking at them, and what I was able to get something to create. They took more than a little effort, and I'm not throwing random images up here. Each one here is an image I spent some time on because I loved each one. There are a lot you will never see, thousands, that were attempts and failures.

But all these images are ones where when I'm done with the work, I say, "Wow, that looks good... really good."

I have a background in 3D Graphics design and Digital Art in general. Putting together a 3D scene with props, some made by you, some made by others, ecosystems built by math, and skies drawn by a computer are not that far different. We can argue either way.

Obviously, 3D modeling takes A LOT of work, but a lot of the work around 3D is not unlike AI—think it up, write it out, lay it out, and get it right. The computer does 90% of the work that used to be built all by hand by set designers and staging lighting managers.

For me, this is a hobby and a creative outlet that is more gratifying at the moment than my other artwork, and far cheaper as well. Is it the same? Not at all, and that's why I love it too.

I hope you all enjoy looking at these images as well and appreciate them on that level.
