Rainbow Aliens

Here are some fun rainbow aliens… I make probably 100+ new AI pictures (and a few videos) a day but I only publish less than 2%. Well let me restate that – that’s about 100 pictures I really like, but those come out of about 2000 total creations that I reject. I’m still using midjourney as my tool of choice.

Sora Experimentation

Here’s a bunch of little AI ideas I’m working on for some short films. Obviously, the tools are getting A LOT better, but not quite slick enough to make the kind of things I want to make. I can combine together 3-5 different AI programs + editors etc etc to get close. I used Sora for this, and I only get 1,000 credits with the Pro version of ChatGPT. With 1,000 credits, I could only get out about 1.5 minutes of “interesting” clips that didn’t look too wonky. There’s another level for $200 a month where I get 10,000 credits, so with that ratio, I’d only get 15 mins of usable video. The new Veo from Google looks amazing too… looking forward to getting access to that! Anyway, as usual, just experimenting with everything and having a good time… 🙂

The Jewel Fairies with a little AI How-To background…

Ever wondered what happens when humans unlock ancient crystal harmonization secrets? Meet the Jewel Fairies, once ordinary people who transformed into radiant beings of light and power through their bond with mystical crystals. Each fairy, from Seraphine Emberveil with her fiery ruby powers to Eluna Solvex, a topaz-bonded astronomer who sees everything (yes, even the color smarnk), carries a unique story of transformation, abilities, and a touch of cosmic humor.

Curious to meet all the fairies, uncover their backstories, and learn their amazing abilities?

I used a combination of Midjourney for the images, Luma for the animation, and ChatGPT for some ideas around the descriptions and backstory ideas. The audio was created in Suno with their v4 AI.

Midjourney Sample Image Prompt:

Create an ethereal and fantastical jewel fairy, a humanoid figure adorned with intricate patterns of gemstones, crystals, and metallic textures. The fairy’s body is an elegant fusion of organic and crystalline elements, with radiant wings resembling stained glass or intricately carved gems, glowing softly with vibrant hues. The setting is a luminous, otherworldly realm filled with sparkling, bioluminescent plants, shimmering particles in the air, and a soft, dreamlike light. The fairy’s expression is serene and wise, with glowing eyes that reflect the colors of their unique crystal bond (ruby, sapphire, emerald, etc.). The overall style is highly detailed, surreal, and magical, emphasizing the fairy’s connection to nature, light, and energy.

Fantastical Journey

Here’s another new world to explore… Just released a bunch of videos and not sure which is my fave! 🙂 You can see more on my Insta or my AI account.

More experimentation with image to video… now with AI audio experimentation too!
