Echoes of Tomorrow
Echoes of Tomorrow - A gothic castle high in the mountains, done in a similar style to that of the American illustrator and architect Hugh Ferriss. The concept was imagined with Midjourney and refined in Procreate.
I’m not what I’d describe as a visual artist, despite being a designer and having done quite a bit of graphic design and art—illustration, some drawing and painting, and a lot of photography—my whole life. I don’t draw all that well, and though I want to get better, it’s always been challenging and frustrating.
I’ve wanted to learn Procreate and have been playing with it lately. I’ve also been playing around with Midjourney—an AI art tool. I’ve become reasonably proficient with the prompting and have quite a few creations I think are good, but there is always something slightly off about them. So I’ve been exploring AI as an artistic helper, something that helps me capture a vision but also helps me learn the craft. I know many people are scared of AI, and many artists are rightfully against it, but I don’t think it’s going away, and for me, it’s helping me create things I never dreamed I’d be able to. As well it’s been a fantastic visualization tool, finally allowing me to transform my imagination into reality, something I can’t do all that well in my head.
