AI Generated artwork based on some of my titles

I’ve been seeing this trend lately of people putting prompts into machine learning image generators to create abstract AI generated “artwork” based on the words and phrases. I got interested when I saw some great pictures posted to the Dishonored subreddit, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and see what I could come up with. I used the Wombo Dream app, which seems to work quickly to make some interesting images. For whatever reason it doesn’t seem to export the images directly in my case, so I had to take screenshots and crop them down. Anyway, here’s what it gave me using the titles of some of my books and short stories as prompts:

 

I did a bunch of other ones, but they didn’t all look quite as interesting or appropriate to the stories so I didn’t include them. You can pick an art style as well as keywords, such as fantasy, dark fantasy, steampunk, etc, to make the output fit to your prompt best. Each time you’ll get something different so you can keep trying it multiple times until you get something you like. I didn’t put too much effort into this but I thought it was an interesting exercise. Some of these are pretty creepy, others are just neat. Whether you consider this to be true artwork is a matter of opinion I guess, I just like the creepy nightmare-like imagery based on my own fiction.

 

Here are a few more bits of AI generated artwork with various word combinations I tried:
