Having fun with my son and some AI with Firefly

My son and I had some fun tonight with Firefly, Adobe's AI. It's changed a lot since I last used it.

The prompt: A boy who loves frogs on Saturn.

The generated image:


Often AI gets a few details weird. It especially struggles with hands and feet. I took it into Photoshop and used generative AI and some manual touching up with the paintbrush, healing brush, dodge and eraser tools. I first fixed the frog feet, which don't look right in the original.

After fixing the AI-generated frog feet:


Photoshop really struggled with the top foot of the frog on the right, so I copy-pasted its other foot and changed it a bit to deal with that. Then I noticed that the boy's right hand and foot are not looking right. So I used generative AI to fix both of those in Photoshop as well. Here's the result:

There are a few other oddities I touched up quickly. Not putting any serious time into this, as it's just been for a bit of fun. See if you can spot them!


Peace!

Excerpt from chapter 1 of Tiger Eyes and Dragon Teeth, my first epic fantasy novel

Chapter One—Who am I? Light. Glorious, blue prisms of light sparkled off every leaf and branch. Thick, powdery sap burbled slowly inside the crystalline tree. The Great Sapphire Tree of Jaria was one of only a few hundred sapphire trees that were still known to exist. Its leaves were hard and thick as sapphires, its branches like iron bars. Such trees were rare, most having been harvested long ago. I brushed the leaves with the tips of my fingers as I passed the tree, and stooped to get to the cave behind it. I hadn’t made the climb to see the tree, rather to get at the cave and a likely source of milk bulb. I leaned down with a lamp, sniffed the air and listened. A soft scuffling noise reached my ears. Heart thumping, I touched the hilt of my knife, sheathed at my belt. ‘Who’s there?’ I asked. A faint growling rumbled off the wall of the cave. It was too deep and throaty to be a treelion. I guessed it was something more like a rock panther or maybe even an icetiger. I tried to keep my...

Why I love writing epic fantasy books

Escapism Writing my epic fantasy series The Psion Saga  is something I've been doing since I was a teenager. It has allowed me to entertain myself and keep my mind busy when I would otherwise be bored. Sometimes life throws difficulties your way, but when I go into the world of Chryne I feel like I am somewhere else. I'm now in my forties and have been working on these fantasy books for over twenty-five years. I hope that the escapism the characters and their epic fight has granted me provides the same feelings to my readers. Creativity Because I get to make up so much cool stuff in my fantasy novels it is a constant source of pleasure for exercising my imagination. Using those muscles of creativity is something that artists of all kinds can relate to. For me, it is a privilege to have such a vivid multi-sensory imagination.
