Ally A.I. artist who uses GIMP and other programs (including A.I upscalers) ,when necessary, to enhance or correct renderings of images. I'll put this at the top of my bio as well, sometimes I can't be online for many hours or even up to a day or so and sometimes can't respond to comments very quickly... but rest assured I will respond, it'll just have to be akin to sending letters in the olden days, lol. The reason for this is I work a lot and have kids so I just have to make sure I balance my time and activities.

Welcome to my page! I've been an off and on artist for a long time, for a long time I wrote poetry and even did performance poetry. I can illustrate sort of, but never really well, my hands have dexterity problems, but I've been pretty proficient in GIMP for years for image editing, and after discovering A.I. assisted artwork I went all-in... starting with programs that generated fractals, then programs like G'MIC (a GIMP plugin) and it's stylize filter (using the fractals
), then DeepDreamGenerator, and combining these programs with Artbreeder portraits, images from public domain, and my own (crappy) drawings... then when VQGAN came I started in the voyage that brought me through Clip-guided Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion. I've kinda carved my way through these programs to get results that I really like. There's other programs that I use like 8bit Photo Lab, and Photomosh... anything really that can get a cool image produced.
I won't pretend that I can draw or illustrate phenomenally well, but I *do* have some skill in digital editing and at times minor illustration, which I apply to the pieces in GIMP if necessary and other programs.... I sometimes will post daily, or even two a day, but I'm going to hold back sometimes to not flood your feed. If you watch me I will probably watch you back if you've got submissions, and definitely add some of yours to my faves if you've got things in your gallery. I wish I had time to respond to every favorite I get, but I will always respond to comments so that's your best bet. I work a lot and also have a lot of other responsibilities so it can take sometimes quite a number of hours before I answer, but I *will* respond!
Please don't direct any hate on me and I will do the same for you. Don't ask baited questions. Don't like what I do, that's fine, just move on and let's not add to all the contention and divisiveness of the world. If you're exceptionally rude or an elitist do not expect any replies or interactions, you'll be blocked and likely your carefully crafted unasked-for insult will be deleted, so don't bother.
Some details about me:
I live in a small town in Utah, I firstly speak English, am fluent in Brazilian Portuguese, and can understand Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian, (but it's been over a decade since I've actively spoke Scandinavian languages.) I'm married to a Brazilian diva, (which is the reason for the Portuguese
)
I like to be eclectic with my art, and since I mostly do A.I.-generated art I'll do things in many styles and subjects.
You have my permission to use my pieces as desktop/phone wallpapers if you like.
Now, enjoy my purple FF6 empire soldier recolor:
Thank you.
THANK YOU FOR THE ADD.
