I have recently been introduced to the pleasures of generating AI pictures using Grok, and have been working on images illustrating concepts and characters from my proposed series, The Wizard, The Prince, The Warrior, and His Son. I am currently working on Episode Five.
This is what Grok came up for me for the Wind-Wagon, the principal mode of transportation during the Quest that fuels the series. It is pretty accurate except for the ports for cannon; no gunpowder in my fantasy world. I am trying to produce portraits of the whole Crew who make up the principal characters. I've had some success except for Moq (the Son of the title). He is a young Morg, a member of our original fantasy race, and Grok can't seem to bend its mind around my descriptions.
John was able to produce a pretty good picture of Roth, another Morg and the Warrior of the title, but had to use as a prompt an actual picture I drew years ago (see elsewhere in this blog). I'm not sure which program he used and it didn't come out perfectly either.
I guess I'm going to have to brush up my old drawing skills and see if my stiff, numb fingers can produce a prototype for Grok to fill out. If it works, I'll have the whole Crew available to help me visualize stuff.
Meanwhile here's a picture of Dunwolf, a wizard who has appeared in several related stories on the Niche. Easier to produce, as he's mostly human. At the time of the series he is basically history, but his teachings and philosophy are still a big influence.
