For the Fall season 2022, I wanted to share with the Alien Art Hive Community a series of Fractal and Generative Art Projects. The first project will cover the HALLOWEEN season and encompass five different Halloween scenarios I feel were appropriate to explore. These project also provide an opportunity to showcase my newly discovered art form in stable diffusion.
HALLOWEEN PROJECT #1: "Scarecrow Just Wanna Have Fun on Halloween"
For my fist Halloween project, I decided to have fun with a scarecrow. Why not come and celebrate Halloween with Lazelda? She seems friendly enough. She's been sewn back together nicely so as not to frighten you. Although her eyes were gorged, they have been replaced. She can see you through an alternate world. It's rather cool her abilities. Frolicking in the pumpkin field and getting the chance to choose one for yourself will be fun. she's watched over them all year.
She'll invite her scarecrow friends to join in the fun. Please bring a picnic basket and wine. She does still love the finer qualities of living.
HALLOWEEN PROJECT #2: "Alter Ego"
Halloween Project #1 is all about disguises, temptation and curiosity. Goodness throughout the year is shed at this particular holiday. Allowed a weekend of free spiriting, Alison chose to adorn herself in the attire to experience what what others whisper about. She prepares the setting and waits. She's told she must offer sweets to anyone who visits.
Excitement builds as this is her first time participating in this pagan custom. Afterward, curiosity satisfied, she admitted to her fellow spirits the enjoyed the excitement of the season, but wouldn't participate again.
HALLOWEEN PROJECT #3: "Wedding At Halloween"
Wedding bells are ringing at the cemetery as the happy couple celebrate their nuptials. And what a perfect occasion to book the event on Halloween. The graveyard occupants joyfully voted to host their wedding ceremony. All arrangement were courtesy of the occupants.
One of the cemetery long-timers proposed that the couple be escorted by the BatMobil team. However, upon second thought, it was deemed a bit too much. They didn't want to frighten them or cause an accident on their honeymoon if they weren't accustomed to flying solo.
After all, they attend to their needs. Just giving back and paying it forward. In attendance are their best friends. Where will they spend their honeymoon? No one's talking!
HALLOWEEN PROJECT #4: "Superheroes Celebrating Halloween"
Superheroes celebrating Halloween. They've come together to prevent The Joker from cancelling Halloween for the children who love the occasion.
Meeting in a pumpkin patch, the Superheroes team up with a local scarecrow who's most fierce than The Joker, and has powers he doesn't. Together with her apprentice, she's ready for anything The Joker has planned.
Tune in later to find out how all resolved itself in the showdown and whether Halloween was saved.
HALLOWEEN PROJECT #5: "Zombies Celebrating Halloween"
How fun it would be to open the door to zombies screaming "Happy Halloween"? Or, maybe not. An interesting collection of zombies who love to heat healthy. A fun bunch just looking to have a good time. They'll fit right in on Halloween.
Completing all the projects took several hours compiling all the elements and blending them together. Below, I've placed all the supporting work for each project so as not to clutter my project images and stories for each above.
HALLOWEEN PROJECT #1:
To complete my first Halloween project, I wanted to introduce a scarecrow. Using the stable diffusion program to retrieve my visiob, I was thoroughly surprised with the resulting image that helped shape the scene. Together with one of my pure fractals named "Parting Flames" the scene was indeed scary.
I utilized two stable diffusion programs to create the Halloween setting of the scarecrow and the bird in the scene. Below are my steps:
StarryAI Text input:
"Sinister spooky female scarecrow in cornfield with pumpkins that is sharp and clear polished in a photorealistic setting."
Method: Argo
Runtime: 50
StarryAI Result:
Night Cafe Text input:
"Ethereal Crow with large eyes and wings spread extra wide."
Weight - 1
Initial Resolution - Thumb
Runtime - Short
Seed - 1103841231
Overall Prompt Weight - 50%
Sampling method - K_LMS
Night Cafe Result:

HALLOWEEN PROJECT #2:
To complete this project, I utilized the following images to create my vision of an angel's alter ego. I located an image of spooky house, then added elements of the Halloween holiday. Utilizing Canva's Annual Pro Membership Subscription's tools and features, I blended the images to produce the scene.

HALLOWEEN PROJECT #3:
For this Halloween wedding scene, I utilized Deep Dream Generator, which now offers to its members a stable diffusion option. The text-to-image structure allows for the user to input prompts to achieve the desired image. The image produced I felt was a nice example of a Halloween setting.
Text input:
"Skull bride and groom celebrating wedding at cemetery with bats flying and Halloween decorations in a photorealistic setting".
Together with the photo I located that emphasized the setting I was attempting to achieve of a couple at a cemetery:
Result:
I was thoroughly pleased with the result. I didn't have to add much to this scene other than include the friends and some pumpkins for the Halloween setting.
I love how the program took the original photo and added the words in my prompt, then included the antique car. Just the right touch.
