Totally Overloaded by JeffJag

----- This is called "Totally Overloaded by JeffJag" but before that for a while it was called"Boom Everything Unicornie Hornies Totally Overloaded by JeffJag" but the filename was called "Amplified Visions of Total Overload 007_Final 3.png" So now you know something about how it was named. ----- It is a digital file that can have one owner. Is it you? Probably not. ----- Also if you don't think Photoshop automatically adds dumb numbers in your filenames OUTSIDE of your obvious numbering system... then just look at that filename, because it has that in it. ----- "Totally Overloaded" is what I call a workflow I createc based in the SMOOSH v2.2 branch off of another IMG2IMG workflow I called "Amplified Visions" which I used to create these images. ----- That's the AI theme... prompt... workflow... process. Just mash those four words together, and that's it. I name the process because it's an integral part of the creation of the work. And because I've developed each with different visual styles, naming makes it easier to tell all the files apart. ----- I embrace the chaos and unpredictability of the noise. To me AI art and watercolor share that sort of wild uncontrollable quality of the medium. Of course, both are capable of being mastered over time by learning to employ those "random effects" that give the media a mind of it's own. So this piece is not one but TWO watercolor paintings SMOOSHED together in the latent space to become one image that then went through 243 iterative changes from SDXL in ComfyUI, to a massive 9 image photo composite in Photoshop, to in-painting in Automatic1111, to Generative Fill in Photoshop, to Wacom tablet to sign at the bottom. Some of the iterative directions were bad, and abandoned like ruins. Each had something in it that I wanted to keep so I mashed all 9 together. Some areas felt unfinished, so I in-painted those areas and got GOLD. All in service of a piece inspired by abstract material collages. I'm a detail maxi, so this file comes in at 5,472px x 7296px and weighs a whopping 66.39 Megabytes. MEGA. ----- But wait, this image comes from other images. There were two initial images used in the creation of this piece. Both are watercolor paintings I made in 2018: --- "BOOM! Everything" and --- "Are They Unicorns Or Cornie Hornies?" And I guess I've answered that question.
