One of the suggestions for my project was to base the designs and artworks around an existing story – how might AI interpret a story compared to a human brain?
I decided that Avatar would fit quite well to create content for based on the AI generation. Some of the landscape imagery that I have created already was looking like it could fit within the Avatar world. For this I was imagining that AI was being used to conceptualise content for the upcoming sequel of Avatar.
Looking at some different Avatar creature design
Generating a few different random shapes and attempting to create some Avatar inspired creatures from it.
I found this process to be reasonably successful but also a bit challenging. I did feel that trying to apply a particular outcome to a drawing took away some of the magic that came from embracing chance with the AI.
I was going to try some more grounded in reality stories but I just couldn’t think of a way that the program would enhance the process rather than just make it more difficult. If I was trying to create a human character the program could create a shape that doesn’t work at all for the output.
