Caturday Art and windy weather

Tommy:  "The mom has been messing around with lots of programs to make purrty pictures of us. She says it really is quite overwhelming with so many to choose from but wants to try as many as she can before settling on just a couple. And us? Well, we just like to get up early, eat, play a bit, then sleep. Nothing really exciting has been going on except for the storm a few days ago that the tv weather people talked about for hours and hours and put the fear of God into everyone watching. 

The only thing that changed for us was that we had to stay out of our sun room the whole day while the wind was blowing. And then we got to cozy up on the inside couch like usual while the humans whined and purrayed that the pine trees wouldn't fall on da house and the tornado wouldn't come the few miles inland after it was spotted near Bald Head Island. And now it looks like it's supposed to happen again today with the wicked wind. We should be able to curl up in our usual spot this time though since it's not supposed to be as bad. 

Mom says "If a tree falls in the forest and there's no weatherman to tell you it fell, did it?" Meow.

Mom Brenda:  Here are the artworks made with generative AI, Adobe Firefly, using my reference photo and the prompt words "Red and white Norwegian forest cat walking through a windy storm" with the effects of "Art, Fantasy, and Impressionism" to create the look.  The results of a few different effects and one with just "photo" were very normal in that AI wouldn't create any windy look until I added the word "storm". It couldn't figure out how to add blowing leaves or trees in the background on the few passes I made. Interesting results. 

I was really amazed how much the cats look so similar to Tommy and Teaghan even on a few I tried without a reference photo of them (as the first one below). Maybe they'll be a good model for NFC art! 

If any of you reading this use Adobe Firefly could you give it a try and see if they come out looking similar? It would be really interesting to see.

Prompt: "Red and white Norwegian forest cat walking through a windy forest"
 and no reference photo with one effect of "photo". It looks just like Tommy!

With the word "storm" added and art, fantasy, and impressionism effects

With the word "storm" added and art, fantasy, and impressionism effects

My take is that it isn't all that easy to get exactly what you are imagining. It's a mix of the correct terms that AI can work with and what effect you are going for. 

This is the reference photo I used in Adobe Firefly for the images above

Thanks all and have a wonderful weekend, windy or not. ;-)

Purrs, Tommy, Teaghan and the Mom Brenda

  10. Your comment about the tree falling and the weather man made me laugh. They do get their knickers in a knot and I think mostly it's because they don't want to be held liable if someone gets hurt, "Well, you didn't warn us it would be bad!"

    I haven't tried AI yet, I'm not much of a tech person beyond using it for blogs and making phone calls.
