Cold With a Touch of Cloudy : The Gaugan IA Contest on Hive - Week 60

This week I wanted to venture into the winter season since it's now December. Although we don't experience the extreme cold any longer like we did in the 70s, I can still dream through images. So, I decided to draw a winter scene. I enclosed it in a tree frame.

It turned out really well as it looks like a Christmas card scene.

I wanted to include in this drawing clouds to give it some depth in the sky portion. Then I added some shallow mountains. For the middle of the scene, I added a base below the mountains. Finally, I wanted to include an icy water image with a few rocks near the cove and trees.

I created this drawing using using the software, Nvidia GauGAN. The software generates photorealistic imagery from basic brush strokes. You can add various elements, i.e. buildings, grounds, landscape, and plants with the tools provided. The program takes your basic drawing strokes and apply them to a blank canvas.

The basic strokes you apply to your blank canvas will look weird until the program interprets them. Below is the image of my basic brush strokes for the winter scene.

Once you've finished your brush strokes and apply your various background filters and effects, the program then creates a drawing based upon those brush strokes from its massive inventory.

You can then download your finished images. Remember to save your brush strokes and each image your produce before moving to the next filter and effects.

Below are a few of my backgrounds and filters.

Let me know what you think about the Gaugan IA program and my attempt at producing digital art.
