Fun Stuff:

Free AI image-crafting Webinar on Monday night. Sign up in my bio. And...

 I’m absolutely loving the new ‘Drawing’ diffusion models I’ve been creating! I’ll be sharing the entire process in my upcoming course. Having over 500 detailed traditional line drawings from my Chronicle Books as input material has been a huge advantage—plus, I’ve incorporated a few hundred newer AI-generated sketches.

The latest diffusion model training excels at following sketch-like instructions, as long as the input material is strong. There are also powerful tools for helping color these sketches in multiple ways—we’ll cover those as well. 

This second course will cover TONS. Here is a summary...Same mix of traditional, digital and ai tools.

- Deeper MidJourney Techniques
- Comprehensive AI Animation tour
- Diffusion Model Training
- Advanced Photoshop Edits
- Worldbuilding & Imagination
- Archiving & Organizing
- Onsite AI Examples
- Photography & Artwork Fusion
- New Platforms
- Advanced Walk-Throughs
- The Future of AI

That's a lot. It should finish up to a dozen hours of talks, tours, lessons, and walk-throughs. It will be fun. That's why I do this...to have fun.

*My illustrations are created with my own custom diffusion models, MJ moodboards, along with SD/MJ ai rendering, and my own painting, rendering, touch-ups, and assemblage in Photoshop. Custom textures. Custom filters from Topaz Studio... blah blah blah. My own unique mix of analog, digital, and diffusion(ai) techniques.
