8 Weeks with DALL-E

[lilac torrent]

I started working with DALL-E 2 as a complete newcomer in late August, 2023, armed only with a healthy dose of curiosity. When DALL-E 3 kicked in, it was another steep learning curb. Looking back, I see I've come a long way indeed. But I'm just getting started - the friendly and supportive community of accomplished artists on this server continues to inspire me to explore new styles and techniques.

"Mixed media artwork illustrating a woman in profile, gazing deeply into the night sky. A lay of moonlight shines upon her, where the word 'spotlight' is inscribed in a larger and more elegant manner than before. The piece is detailed with metallic ink, gold and silver foil, and the entrancing texture of alcohol ink flooding on cracked glass. The composition beautifully merges ukiyo-e and Art Nouveau styles, evoking a delicate, ethereal, and painterly ambiance. Seed: 22309" (Created via ChatGPT/DALL-E3)

Just for comparative purposes...this was my very first post, "Spotlight on Mt. Fuji with an Alien Cat," #daily-theme on 9/1/2023. 😅
