Original cartoon ideas
Below are some attempts at rendering a backlog of cartoon ideas I've written down over the years.
Some outcomes are very satisfying, surprising, or fortunate, while others have been harder to pull off due to policy limitations or prompting challenges. In a few cases, I pick my battles and edit generated images in Photoshop. As the technology improves, I'll likely revisit many of these depictions to get closer to my original ideas.
Certainly, the ability to depict many ideas quickly and in a variety of styles is a huge advantage, and we're early enough in the game with such rapid and steady acceleration, I'll enjoy continuing to use AI to explore and expand my ideas.
I'm looking forward to the days when I can apply AI to my own artwork. There's still an enormous advantage to multimodal input and sometimes there's no substitute for cutting to the chase with drawings or images, but the AI has some catching up to do before it can modify an existing image.
