Post 57 - Exploring…
A short post today as I've been exploring a new AI creation tool that looks really interesting, more on that another time. For a long time now I have had a side-project print-on-demand T-Shirt site, not really given it the time it requires however I do have loads of notes with ideas on!
On one of my ChatGPT experiments I have been playing around with creating linocut style images, yes, I know the real thing will be better, hand-made and all that but like I've said all along this is an experiment and if I like the linocut look I'm going to have a go with AI! (I have actually done print-making for real)
Anyway I decided to give Perplexity a short prompt to create a prompt for ChatGPT/Dalle for a possible design to throw on a T-Shirt one day.
Here's the prompt I gave Perplexity:
Create me a prompt to create an image of a linocut style image of a chicken
Below is the prompt it created. I tried getting it to generate the image directly but Perplexity at this time doesn't seem to be as good at image generation as ChatGPT/Dalle.
Below the prompt is the image I got out of ChatGPT/Dalle, I think it's pretty good. I could take that into Adobe Illustrator, vectorise it and add a funny slogan of some sort and I'd be good to go on the T-Shirt or I could laser engrave it into something or other and stick it on Etsy! (I have a laser cutter but that's another story!) but that's for another day, currently I'm getting stuck into all things AI…
If you fancy a T-Shirt with a chicken on let me know! ;-)
Here is a prompt to create a linocut style image of a chicken for a t-shirt design:
Create a linocut style illustration of a chicken in a folk art style, using bold lines and shapes. The chicken should be the main focal point, filling most of the frame. Use a limited color palette of black, white, and one accent color like red.
- Some key elements to include:The chicken posed in a side profile view, with its head turned slightly to face forward
- Stylized, angular lines to depict the feathers and features in a graphic, block print style
- Subtle hatching and line work to add shading and dimension
- A simple, uncluttered background, perhaps with a subtle pattern or texture that evokes the look of a linocut print
- An overall balanced, eye-catching composition that would work well for a t-shirt graphic
Aim to capture the charming, rustic character of a linocut print. The final illustration should be bold and graphic, with high contrast between the black key lines, white negative space, and pops of accent color. The style should feel handcrafted and folksy.
Let me know if you need any other details! The key is to keep it simple yet striking, as if it was carved and printed by hand using traditional linocut printmaking techniques. Have fun with it and create a cool, wearable work of chicken art!
