Passing the challenge to Shanachie Quill

[skargasm.livejournal.com]

shanachie_quill asked me to swap days, so here I am!

I can't quite believe what I've managed this morning. I finally finished my Halloween fic, writing just under 3000 words today. Then I did a book review for an ARC I've read - an absolute pleasure to do as the book was excellent.

Then I did some work on my blog, trying to brain-dump some things to clear my head out. I'm not sure how well I did, but I kinda feel better for getting it down.

I am in the midst of trying to do a collaboration with a dear friend. We've got as far as pinterest and mood boards and I have made a few banners for it. It's very casual and may never turn into anything. However, for the first time I tried my hand at AI art generation as the images I wanted for the banner simply don't exist. I know this is a contentious issue but I am doing this as a bit of fun so hopefully people won't be offended.

Below the cut is one of the images I managed to generate and use as a base for an advertising flyer!



I was hoping that the chenille wool I bought to make a blanket for my prospective new great-nibling due in October didn't turn up today so now I find myself feeling a little out of sorts and antsy - I want something to do but I don't know WHAT!

Anyhow, over to shanachie_quill and wishing you a productive day!

Congrats on the creative efforts! I think AI art is a great tool for creativity, especially for fanish works, for journaling, etc.

It's been fun to play with although occasionally the extra limbs etc can look very confusing on the finished product!

That art is fantastic!

And thank you again for switching with me.

That's some great work! Good luck with the collab with your friend. The banner is actually kinda cool!

Thank you! Admittedly, since then I've done absolutely nothing with the AI generator (I was kinda squicked out when it did a kiss between two characters and their lips merged and gave me slight nightmares)!!

OMG. That would have creeped me out, too. But in hindsight, it's kinda funny. :D
