## AI

Now this seems like the future of everything so we though we would start to look at using AI to generate some different art work. I do not think AI is a given to create stuff and it takes a while to get what you are looking for for!

We decided to start this journey using PICA AI art generator online. This week we are looking at developing backgrounds set in Brighton that we will then use green screen on to add some images. These will be part of the art work for our album coming out in September.

## Image 1

Text - create an urban street grunge style feel 
Style  - default

Not bad for a first attempt.  It's turned those bright huts into more of an urban street vibe.

## Image 2

Text - make this into a roughly sketched urban street scene
Style  -  default

Attempting to give it more of an authentic sketch-like feel has actually turned it into more of a 1970s feel.

## Image 3

Text - create an urban street grunge style feel 
Style  - ghibli studio

Mixing up the style to Ghibli Studio gives it more of that authentically hand sketched effect,  while keeping the grit.


## Image 4

Text - create an urban street grunge style feel
Style  - Anime Visual

Changing the style to Anime Visual has made it quite flat and the monochromatic tones give it more of a plain than urban feel.

## Image 5

Text - create an urban street grunge style feel 
Style  - cartoon

Love the cinematic feel of the cartoon style, but it's fully created a path up to a castle which gives off a Disney vibe and a princess needs saving at the top of that castle.


## Image 6

Text - create an urban street grunge style feel 
Style  - Fantasy 3D


![brighton beach huts_6_default.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stickupboys/23xp8U8vs1kjNNpNenzdKCzcBAguRTjDkGYhpRQEr9Cb7ErkVkMoRN6LHnhPMWJGYv3ST.png)
Not really screaming fantasy to me, and it looks as if there's little robots trying to save us from an apocalyptic end, running on the road.


## Image 7

Text - make this into a dirty rough street neighbourhood
Style  - Ghibli Studio

![brighton beach huts_7_default.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stickupboys/23xAc8kzhaufBUV75REVbTE5qsrvKNpKLsxWiRKJvv7EgPqWzFVjCQ56wqTTeucVM3QBN.png)
Ghibli Studio has really nailed that human sketch effect.  Playing with the verbiage for the text seems to alter the overall color story, but keeps the hand drawn look.


## Image 8

Text - make this into a dirty rough street neighbourhood
Style  - Cyberpunk

![brighton beach huts_8_default.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/stickupboys/AKNJ4k8kDprDyb8NXTkF2EWqwsSkJzsemvdSnsYNFXTBh1xgiTVy17YX4b9krqv.png)
Talk about apocalyptic end, Cyberpunk has completely replaced the huts and turned them into abandoned storefronts in a world were people are just trying to stay alive.



## Conclusion

The initial text worked well with various styles.  Going to play around with more detailed verbiage for the next generations and see if that effects the outcome.  Big fan of Ghibli Studio hand drawn feel and it seems to pick up the urban feel with muted colours across the board.
