AI Art Dump #2

My readers request—and they receive!

Revealing the Cheshire Cat as an axe murderer, creepy mermaids, and a witch who wants to burn it all down.

by H.C. Southwark

I've been offering free AI art generations to my readers, and they've come up with some fabulous fun stuff! Time to share them with everyone. 🙂

Click on the individual pictures to see them in lightbox mode: closer, bigger, and more personal.


Because AI art is a wonky, unknowable Schrodinger’s cat of a thing, some of these were more difficult to generate than others.

"A mermaid who is more likely to eat you than marry you."

— James H.

I approve soooo much of this prompt, I love monsters and mermaids deserve to be watery ghoul like creatures who drag men to their doom and eat them. You know that's what they would be in real life!

A woman in a garment.
A cartoon of a monster with sharp teeth.

"Kitsune who is stealing my pizza 🙁a"

— Anne S.

I'm not sure why you're sad about this one because it is amazing! (There's always more pizza.)

A fox holding a pizza in the woods.
A fox running towards a burger.

"Witch in a library doing secret research."

— B.K.

It looks lovely to be here, but keep in mind: magical tomes are considered nonfiction in the magical worlds. So it's not nearly as exciting as your imagination makes it. 🙂

A woman wearing a hat and glasses reading a book.
A woman sleeping on a bed.
A witch is reading a book in the woods.

"The Cheshire Cat as an axe murderer."

— S.W.

I know where this is coming from: I did a prompt based on Alice in Wonderland for this reader before and it ended up giving a really scary Joker-esque Mad Hatter. Got to bring the Cheshire Cat into it, eh?

"Totally bad*** spaceship captain giving the wassup look."

— M. Kim

You had me at "wassup." But unfortunately the AI art generator only kind of understood the mood. (Overall, the AI has a lot of trouble with human expressions beyond basics like "smile." We're still new to this technology after all.)

A man sitting in a chair.
A man in a space suit looking out a window.
A person in a spaceship.
A man in a cockpit of a spaceship.

"A witch or a princess or both having a really bad day and this time, it's everyone else's problem."

— Emily K.

I feel you, honey. Sometimes you just gotta burn it all down, and I always imagine that magic in stories is like giving someone a key to a nuclear bomb. Boom.

A woman in a red dress holding a glowing ball.

"One of those rat demon things from Eternity's Echo."

— M.L.

Ok, how could I not do this one? I am going to make a post entirely out of the demon things from my novel. Creepiness. 🙂

A white creature with sharp teeth and sharp claws.
A creature with a large mouth is walking through a cave.
A creature with sharp teeth and sharp claws.
A creature with long ears and long tail.

"Woman runs away from monster. Wearing a ballgown."

— JJ

Unexpectedly hilarious. Wait. Did I say "unexpectedly"? I meant totally expected. One must always wear ballgowns to run from monsters, it confuses them and helps the prey escape.

This is all for now, but keep those requests coming because they are just too much fun! 🙂
