Motoko in Tokyo by nerveZero on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Using Stable Diffusion via Automatic1111 and then edits in Procreate, I got to this.

I can't do eyes, and so the eyes aren't the best. Sorry.

But if you like it then that's a good thing.

I left it big. Link back to me if you want to share it with folks etc.

It is a combination of AI generation and my meager skills as a graphic artist.

DA has been kind to me over the years with imagery, so I think it is only fair that I share this to folks at full resolution and without a watermark.

Obviously Motoko is not my IP nor my character so I expect it would be illegal to try to make money off this image.

But I'm still learning the AI thing anyway. Just like it took me years to become reasonable as a photographer, it will take me years to get reasonable with AI Art generation, and I'm ok with that.

I also seriously respect the real artists out there who have spent decades perfecting their skills.

I'm sorry that their images were scraped without their permission to make the image generation models, but I am also stoked that it did happen because it gives me a chance to make art that is way better than my current ability to draw.

I don't claim to be an artist, but I am a photographer, and this really feels a lot like photography.

Cheers.
