Here’s a Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa) that Mr. Lou Dina has recently sent me, inspired by the tutorial I created for the @affinitybyserif Creative Sessions. It's too good to get the chance to see these. I'm also grateful for the beautiful words he wrote. Thanks so much Lou!

I imagine nobody needs these prompts in ALT 🤭

And here the best of the worst - love the feather trace on the first 👌

And after a good amount of variations, I ended up falling for this somehow different style, which I personally find very appealing and more pictorial. I'm not very much aware if this outfit corresponds with the reality, or to what extent, but I find them all magnificent chiefs😍

While on it, this nice gentleman visited me. I can, at least, see a glimpse of CR7's legs in there ha. Thanks to @mrgreen for the Wes Anderson inspiration.

Yesterday, while learning prompt techniques, I tried to dress Cristiano Ronaldo as a great Indian chief. Got some funny initial results (last 2 posts of thread). However, they led me to something way better. Thanks Indian chiefs and CR7, even if I forgot the latter along the way.

#3 Mediterranean - I love to do these little short pieces, both image and music wise. Can't recall last time I enjoyed this much creating videos with music, but quite some time. #midjourney #ai #animation

#2 Éξω (Outside) - #Midjourney animation poem. Sock it to me, pyromaniacs.

Animated poem experiment with #midjourney + AIVA. I've called it "The Law of Nature". Thanks to the inspiring community helping us make the most out of #AI. Shout out to @javilop @icreatelife & @PlacidoDomenech. Learning on the fly is wondefun! No HD but!

Recientemente estuve haciendo un voluntariado en el PN Tablas de Daimiel. La situación allí es DESASTROSA, con mayúsculas. El parque nacional cumple ahora 50 años, pero no hay nada que celebrar más allá de una marcha protesta. #parquesnacionales #tablasdedaimiel

Hmmm. and so on and so forth.

George is a student of mine. He first learned how to work with vectors. Now, he's learning really fast how to paint with value and colour in the pixel persona. He sent me his first attempt. He made me smile (and quite proud tbh). #affinitydesigner #affinityphoto #illustration

Here's a tutorial about painting in the Pixel Persona in Affinity Designer (or Photo) Tablet & stylus or iPad needed! 🍎 #affinitydesigner #affinityphoto
