Intergalactic Penguin Riding On A Laser Beam (2023)

Had a fun idea for a power metal album title, and slapped it into Midjourney to see what it would look like. I like it.

Now, I need to make something VERY clear for the overly-literal folks out there: I am against the mis-use of AI art that brings harm to individuals. HOWEVER, I am for utilizing AI generators and have done so for years (procedural generators for example). I bring this up because I've seen some horrible situations unfold as AI is used. I have also seen some horrible things said to people who use AI generators and some words made their way in my direction.

I have been a digital artist for my entire career as an artist. Do not mistake the CGI pieces created last year to be AI-generated. These took hour-after-hour to craft. The same applies for the hundreds of cosmic creations made over the years that now sit in an archived gallery found here. That said, I'll be making use of AI art here-and-there this year as I advance the Dark Matter Universe. I just want people to understand that I understand AI art. I see the good and the bad. But I see more good, just as I do in all forms of AI. So be ready to see more.
