Exploring even more the AI image generation possibilities, really useful specially when it comes to intricate vegetation shapes.

Depending on key words and successive iterations you can really explore many different moods too. Here I was attempting a more jungle look. here is the prompt: "strange and exotic jungle forest,large branch arches, hanging vines, moss and lichens by Frazetta, Vallejo, Moebius.
adding more details, describing the forest with elements like moss, lichens, fungus helps a lot nailing down a more gloomy atmosphere and slowly create an unified visual style
Also always interesting to make a few variations of the same composition to get more details and ideas/options.
a simple change of word and "art style " creates a total different atmosphere. added "Ghibli" for those as a test.
adding roots into the mix. Next ill try out mangrove.
or using the same recipe mixing up different props ;)
adding "mangrove" the recipe.. Tip: I upscale the image result in topaz gigapixel ( X4) then resize it down in photoshop, to get sharper definition.
Also you have to make a LOT of iterations to just get from left to right. I usually do a lot of thumbnails experimentations then when I find something I like I ask for a refine/scale up, then iterate more thumbnails and so on.when it comes to AI gen, Devil is in the iteration.
same key words, different results, following two lines of iterations
adding some underwater elements... Wish I had this tool while working Aquaman designs for my backgrounds ;)
