that moan and groan
in whistles and whispers.
This ghostly choir chills the breeze
and orchestrates a rise of goose bumps
on my skin.”

BRIDE OF THE WIND - Deep Dream
Deep Dream stuff: 
Back in March 2021 I posted a photo of an old painting from the seventies which I thought I had no record of, but somehow found again on a disc: Bride of the Wind. Reading just now again about AI I remembered I had not used Deep Dream much lately (been on that platform since September 2016), so I thought I give it a shot with this re-discovered painting of mine. What you see below is just 2/5 of Level 0 where the original still shows through.
As it happens often with me when I am in a creative mood, I forget to record steps. In this case, I went through a ton of levels before, but didn't save them - I actually recreated the first two (0/5 and 1/5), because what I wound up with in the end was totally unrecognizable, even squinting at it from a distance. ............. who let the dogs out?
While this looks wild, I think too much got lost and it became sort of a mess, imho. Below, the original, and beside it the 0/5 that I started with (on my second try). All the other levels from my first try were not saved. So I started over to make a few more, retracing my steps.
I was interested in retaining the overall look of the work, but with the augmented reality. Sometimes, too much is just .... too much.
I did not save this in High Resolution - but even so, going through a bunch of levels used up quite some generating power. But since I had my second attempt still open (while I write this) I did another one, but with the choice of 'fathomless', so this is what came out:
still somewhat recognizable - if I had started this in high resolution, I might have been tempted to monkey around with it in Photoshop to maybe bring just the face back out a bit. I had done such before, and the results were quite good. I posted that particular one, called 'MY MUSE' already in April 2021 (this info is edited, since initially I said I post it next - I forgot that I already posted it, good thing I checked).
.... and one more time, with the same image, but using one of my old psychedelic drawings as my 'own style':
That should do for now. I do have many more templates I use as my own style, but now I need to regenerate my transformation power.
Final thought: I had generated images to be used in videos a few times, one specifically I posted already in the Steemit days, January 2019:
it goes through many different styles
