PROLOGUE: I support any means and tools to make and improve art. And I second the idea that AI doesn't need to be criminalized, but, instead, supported. Obviously, not indiscriminately but in the right places, in the suitable groups, with ponder and gut and with the right artists.
EXCERPT :
"With AI you can create ugly monsters as well as beautiful creatures
(or even beautiful monsters) but the artistic level you can realize and appreciate
when, in both cases, you don't just leave the prompt result unaltered but, instead,
you improve* it with your hands, especially to correct errors and distortions
(like feet detached from legs, 7 fingered hands, distorted eyes and various
other several mutilations)."
*or, as my new Friend & AI master Philip says "Anatomically and surgically enhanced".
Are you beginning to be annoyed by AI ? Then readdit:
I hope my modern Hentai with a Vintage spirit will be liked or held per interesting enough to proceed reading what matters me the most on a serious criticality about the wrong usage of the Artificial Intelligence which is overflowing and overwhelming a lot.
This odd image has been inspired to me by watching some poorly done AI pics, for instance a woman meant to be a normal woman, even sexy, when the "prompt commissioner" didn't pay attention to the fact the picture was generated with deformed/distorted limbs, extra-long totally unproportioned feet, hands with 6/7 fingers or even disconnected from the wrists.
I am not meaning those creatures that intentionally are made with dark or naughty appearance (like fantasy vampires etc.) but to the figurative imagery that is believed to be perfect by whom directed the AI prompt without even bothering to move his hands to refine and improve what sorted out.
This let me deduce some people, due to lazyness or lack of talent, generate an AI image but can't help to edit and refine it to make it pleasurable or realistic and they yet dare to call them "women" or "girls" without considering they generated distrofic bodies which may be disappointing and disturbing for the viewer or, if you prefer, just call them less than trash.
So, I been willing to generate a very stylistic monster where, even the distrofic body parts are as intentional as well cared and edited by applying a good processure, retouching and even some digital painting.
All in all, the final result looks like to me more acceptable and elegant than some careless distrofic and distorted images made to resemble real and that someone dares to call "art" ;-)
>>> Even if I am not at all a AI expert, a lil hint I experienced by myself, for those who are not or not yet able to recognize if an image is a AI and if it has a dignity or not: look at the eyes, the limbs and especially the hands of the body. If you see many errors, that is for sure AI but, especially, a poorly done image where the "author" didn't engage at all to improve it, probably due to lack of skills.
I have seen beautiful AI imagines, full of poetry and so pleasurable but, guess what, when, instead, they are poorly done, it's typical to see them damped in zillions of depot groups.

AI assisted image according to my instructions.
Ink & sepia rendering and finished with my handmade digital painting + post-processure.
Ambiance: Italy, late '40's , the Decò art wave is still ongoing and we are in the full Autarchia, but, the II World War has finally concluded, new hopes arising as well as new art waves like the Modernism and the Italian designers of Fine Applied Arts.
A glaze to the past, late Goth, to remember the boom and splendour of the Venetian Republic, la Serenissima, able to connect West and East, to introduce to the West the splendid Bizantine mosaics and, finally or, better, initially, my passion for the drawing Art and for the mystic Moon... And her personation through a hieratic face, crossing the times.
(I made a series of mystic Moon faces, still in doubt if to upload them to Flickr... )

The final result, improved after the upload of yesterday. Curious to see how the image had sorted out from the prompt instead?
Then see the left section of this dyptich: flic.kr/p/2nUwm19
I think, I have painted over about the 60/70 of the total surface of this image. I believe it was worthy as I truly liked it and didn't want to discharge. The wing to the left was missing, so I completely painted it (digital manual strokes).
It involved me in a phase of restoring the picture, followed by my digital hand painting that has been particularly fun to obtain the closest result to which I had imagined while directing the AI prompt.
It would be interesting that someone takes the time to review my whole stream in order to realize this image applies very much to my style but most important is me and how I feel. On about 20 attempts, after refining the image as explained here and in my two previous up-loads, this is the result I can recognize per me, myself and I.
(Not that I look like her, no no, I'm very blond, other kind of beauty :-)
I hope you like it and thanks in advance for all the visits, comments and quality faves!
Edit: strange but true, I've licensed my image for s Publishing Company, so, even if not requested in the contract, I had the idea to 'slightly' vary it once more for my Flickr stream by adding at her beautiful breast a gracious flowery top ;-)

- A diptychon just for comparison -
For my own educational I have been experimenting how to instruct a prompt on Wombo for AI generated or assisted images.
I dunno if someone has ever done to show what he obtained and his own elaboration. I will share this test with pleasure.
Left: there is exactly the image I obtained from the prompt, a very low def picture, around 120Kb. I don't know if this depends from the fact I did not register at their site but, eventually, the very first thing I had to do was...
right: to try to sort out a larger image. So I started to process it by painting and shading on it to conceal the noise and the pixelated effect due to the low def. Then I saved the image at the maximum def making it larger. Then I started to modify the shape of the face (it was longer and I rounded it), the nose and then I had lot to do with that sort of wing bones in the breast. Indeed I had requested the Angel should have had wings on the shoulders, not in the back! I had imagined the Angel's wings not hardly visible in the usual position on the back but, instead, almost embracing, protecting the Angel, like a sort of feathery cape, also at the scope to show more the wings than as usual if an angel is illustrated frontally.
The AI replied proposing an idea of under-the-skin winged bones in the forefront (see, left image, oh My!)
I repainted most of the breast and neck to conceal this error, made the neck thinner, recolored the skin, lightened the excessive grey tones, perfectioned the breast and nipples shape, finished the feathers on the left side of the head that were missing, basically I painted them.
In this definive version, I have completely painted the right wing with red feathers as it was missing in the prompt image.
The next upload will be the final result at the highest possible definition and zoomable (here visible to the right in lower def.)
I think it was worth while to try to improve, enlighten and retouch this image as I wanted to keep it. My sensory idea to let the Angel emerge from the darkness and show her like illuminated by candlelight has worked, at least, so I think :-)
No big need to say my main style, the one I love the most is the Light Painting.
AI seems to have a very low def., maybe there are paying versions that grant a higher definition of the images.
Another problem I encoutered and frequently saw elsewhere: hands and eyes still seem not accurate, sometimes the hands appear unfinished or deformed or even with too many or too few fingers... Luckily this image has no hands nor eyes visible, this is part of the preparation idea to sort out the concept and no big problems, just to make the test with a drop of genial plus ;-)

An Angel who can see in the darkness...
This is a AI generated image with my assistance: 3 minutes to direct the prompt (on Dream) + 8 hours of my digital handpaint.
I mainly restored the anatomy of the ear and the breast that didn't quite match. The breast had very undefined nipples and, especially two sort of chicken wings bones under the skin that branched off from the breastbone were inappropriate. I removed them via shading and spray paint, then I reconstructed the breast and a portion of the neck and painted a gracious top.
The feathers on top left of the head were trunkated, so I painted the tips that were missing. Lightened the skin, sharpened the contrasts and strengthened the red and orange tones. Lots of shading to obtain a more soft and painterly result.
I've modified her nose that was seeming to me too short and thick. I painted the lower part of the wing too + reshaped the blindfold.
The directions I gave at the prompt were very long but, what mattered to me is all there, included a good dosis of
Michelangelo Merisi, (my most favorite Old Master) and some drops of Hugo Simberg as a memory of the "Wounded Angel" he painted in 1903 and that inspired my unique profile icon too, about 10 years ago.
To obtain what I wanted I made many attempts, this is my 20th.
Does this image represent my concept I meant to lend? Yes.
Is this image "me"? I think in a way it is.
Did it request my talent? Yes, a little bit at least.
My culture? Of course yes.
My vision of light painting? Definitely yes.
Being a purist photographer, this is something new and unusual for me but this is NOT photography and I will never ever allow any improvisated photographer dispute with me about Photography against Artificial Intelligence because they have nothing to do one another and this diatribe is absurd, bigot and immensely stupid.
Can AI become art?? This is all to be proven.
What I am sure about is that if an artist, a true one, was artist from before the AI advent and now & then he uses AI too, as he was artist he will remain artist in all he makes, no matters the tools he uses.
But, since I administrate quite a few groups, I felt I cannot rate AI submissions if I don't know what they are. Experimenting AI was needed and it's even fun! But it will never ever be like to make a handpainting or a drawing, be it as original traditional art or as digital art using digital brushes.
And, I would also add, that, I could be very wrong but, in the future, the more AI develops and the more rare will be true handmade artworks, the more the real object of desire for Art fans, amateurs, collectors will be to own a unique handmade artwork that cannot be reproduced, where you can really "touch" the strokes by the artist.
I believe, ethically, it is correct to always mention if a digital image is a computer generated one via the Artificial Intelligence.
Also: I keep seeing Top top Photography Groups hosting AI images... I wonder if their admins are aware they are approving and even inviting images that are NOT photography, admitting they care about the difference...
Do you like this image? I do... Let's leave it to the viewers to rate how they feel about watching it.
I hope you enjoy!
(Any comment and critique very welcome)
