Still playing with the chatbot imaging

This is its re-rendering of the morning sunlight on snow I sketched the other day.

Interesting. Originally:

Hitting the limit

Not only did I hit a limit on how many pictures I could ask it to draw, I think I reached a limit on the utility of having a chatbot draw my pictures.



Then look what happened:

Testing chatbot image generation

I gave it this text:

Scene: an elderly Red Dragon, wearing glasses and trying to take apart a delicate gear assembly. His claws keep getting in the way and he fumbles a small part on the floor. "Darnit!" he says and emits a small belch, melting the whole thing by mistake. It is tempting to have commentary to the effect that red dragons can spit on themselves by mistake, causing minor pain, like stubbing your toe.

Got Bing Chatbot to draw a scene from the Boy and the Dragon

Here is a version of Bark, done with one of my sketches as a starting point:
Not bad.
