"Unfolding the Dreamscape"

My new image crafting course is coming at the end of the month. I'll be posting the sign-up link this week. 

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

- Deeper MidJourney Techniques: Blending and mixing imagery, defining personal styles, and elevating text prompts. Moodboards! Midjourney's answer to custom models.
- Comprehensive AI Animation tour: Explore Runway ML, Kling.ai, Luma, Pika, Openart, and more with step-by-step guides.
- Diffusion Model Training: Compare Dreambooth, Runway, Openart, Getimg, and more for optimized workflows.
- Advanced Photoshop Edits: Downloadable walkthrough files, master layering, gradients, lighting and integrated textures.
- Worldbuilding & Imagination: Generate cohesive ideas, storytelling visuals, and work-ready concepts.
- Archiving & Organizing: Efficient organization, cloud storage solutions, and archive combination tips.
- Onsite AI Examples: Capture real locations, transform them with AI, and craft immersive worlds.
- Photography & Artwork Fusion: Merge multiple mediums and unify photography with AI illustrations.
- New Platforms: More every week—fresh approaches to creation.
- Advanced Walk-Throughs: Fine-tune diffusion settings, storyboard animations, and export for specific uses.
- The Future of AI: Embrace collaboration, adapt to fast-paced innovations, and push creative limits.

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.
