Greetings, artists from all worlds and all realities!
Today, I thought I'd share with you some collaboration projects I've done with @Death.Milk.Designs. I hope you like it!
The following images were made using my custom build of Disco Diffusion, photo-manipulation and digital drawing through Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.
More artworks on my Instagram!
First collaboration with Death.Milk.Designs
@Death.Milk.Designs is a generative art creator and a quite unique MidJourney user. We've been in contact for a while now, sharing music and art to each other, 'till one day we decided "HEY! Let's try something, we'll get some stuff I generate on MJ and you'll use them as initial_images in your creative workflow! Let's see what Disco Diffusion and photobashing could do to these things"!
So here are the 3 images he sent me to work with:
The Big Freaking Giant
The Mouth of Cthulhu
... what is this
So!
I ran these images whole into Disco Diffusin first, then went on with my usual slicing into 9 parts, and ran each part back into DD with different prompts, and stitched them back up together in Gimp!
Compositing was of course done in darktable.
Here is what I sent him back!
The Big Freaky Giant
The Cthulhu In The Mouth
Mecha-organic Cthulhuish
The Acheron, River of Madness
Storm On The Acheron
For the two last ones,
I had too many slices and cuts, so I decided to make 2 versions of each, in slightly different styles. It was a very fun little experiment, and I'm looking forward to more collabs like this.
Right now, @Death.Milk.Designs and I are working on a much more advanced series of collaborative pieces, cross-softwares, that will consist of multiple artworks inspired by medieval fantasy stories.
