Wasn't sure what to expect when I tried this charcoal drawing. That turned out better style wise than I expected and the subject adherance again impressive

Very cool. I really like the first one's style. It reminds me of etchings done in turn of the century books with all the details.

chris70

i love the first one 👍👌

@DavidP actually I take it back. It's not like the etchings. They do a lot more line work to create the effect. This is like photogravure. That's also a cool word that can be used in prompts. It's a photo made into an etching for 1800s/1900s high end magazines and books

DavidP

Thanks. I can see why. The prompt adherenace for subject is awesome. The way it adds details, like it can read my mind. I'm just going to have to work at the styling to get closer to the variety I enjoy, tame it's signature inclinations

Both images are awesome! GPT does have a surprisingly good range. I work almost exclusively in GPT for images lately and my stuff is all over the map 😂

Thanks, though lots of AI contirbution, firstly in prompt composition and then of course in the image generation

White that is true, it's what came from your mind that counts. And you're welcome David.

Ditto, I like the first best, it feels like the wild & marine environment is stronger here.

DavidP

Agreed, much more intense look. I think the yacht anbd man are also better

DavidP

Thanks. I don't know those but do like the mnore vivid textured look
