the scariest of lovecraft's monsters is in At The Mountains Of Madness because the unknown is terrifying and your mind turns it into this blob of eyes and teeth
Amazing detail, even the ones that didn't match the nightmares my brain came up with. Imagine in a decade or two, AI might produce an image so accurate, it will drive the viewer insane with just one look, just like the stories describe many of them! Something to look forward to! 😵💫😵💫😵💫
@@kmcclinton71 In some cases, worse. At least you got something other than generic fish for your deep one. It was before I knew anything about prompting and AI images were relatively new so I just threw direct quotes in. I reviewed the highlights on three videos.
Tsalhoggua was 100% exactly what the prompt said. Probably the only flawless one the AI managed. A lot of the others were really good but had something wrong about them, like size.
Cool!!! What if we ask GPT and Leonardo for the 13 ugliest creatures in the series "Supernatural"? ChatGPT said: Certainly! "Supernatural" is a popular TV series known for its wide array of creatures. While beauty is subjective, here are 13 creatures from the show that are often considered to be visually unsettling or unattractive: Leviathans - Ancient and primordial beings with a slimy, monstrous appearance, complete with rows of sharp teeth and sunken eyes. Shtriga - A witch-like creature that feeds on the life force of children, it appears haggard and skeletal, with decaying features. Rawhead - A savage and brutal monster with a feral, bestial appearance, covered in matted fur and possessing sharp, elongated teeth. Wendigo - These cannibalistic creatures have emaciated bodies, long limbs, and a monstrous face with sunken eyes and elongated jaws. Rugaru - A creature born of cannibalism, it has a gaunt and emaciated appearance, with yellowed eyes and bony features. Djinn - Although they can take on attractive forms to deceive their victims, their true appearance is shown to be twisted and monstrous, with glowing eyes and sharp teeth. Shapeshifters - These creatures have the ability to assume the form of other individuals, but in their natural state, they have a grotesque and distorted appearance. Khan Worms - Parasitic creatures that infest human hosts, they cause physical mutations and disfigurement, resulting in a nightmarish appearance. Crocotta - A creature with a skeletal face, glowing eyes, and long, sharp teeth. It resembles a mix between a wolf and a hyena. Changelings - They appear as humanoid infants but reveal their true monstrous form as they grow older, with elongated limbs, clawed hands, and distorted facial features. Okami - These Japanese supernatural creatures have a wolf-like appearance with glowing red eyes and sharp fangs, giving them an eerie and menacing look. Gorgon - A creature with snakes for hair and the ability to turn people to stone with its gaze. Its reptilian features and monstrous countenance are fearsome to behold. Lamia - Female creatures with a combination of human and serpent features, including snake-like eyes, fangs, and scaly skin.
I have two suggestions but it's not all from any stories it's just art from perhaps the best sci fi & horrors artist we have had which is Virgil Finlay & a great old TV show we know as The Outer Limits. . So many AI shorts on HP & he was the best but everyone is doing his creatures to death even though they are all quite awesome . Take a look on the image site or look up Virgil Finlay & you will see what i mean if you don't already know his work. Many fine tales in the original 1963-65 B&W TV show The Outer Limits & some cool creatures i'm sure would fit the bill for AI .
That was quite interesting. There were more misses than hits though. Dagon and Tsathoggua were pretty good but Y'Golonac looks like a headless, fat man with fanged mouths in his hands, nothing like the end result.
I agree! You picked the right time to watch the video though, I just finished re-creating the images last night. I'll be posting the second attempt sometime this week. Thanks for watching!
Awesome, this was my first thought when I saw your previous videos. To suggest Lovecraft scenes. Bob got there first. :-) I am curious as to your process. I use Stable Diffusion, and get great results, but your process is intriguing with the self imposed guidelines. I usually do some Photoshop clean up and warping to make my idea resolve. Do you have a video on your process already? Would you be willing to make one if not? My book suggestion is the classic Greek mythology on the world's creation. One source would be Bulfinch's Mythology. Second book suggestion would be Bram Stoker's Dracula. thank you for sharing the art
I have a couple of livestream videos where I show the procedure. I go live on YT every Saturday at Noon MST. I would love to chat with you and show you what I do. I'll put your suggestions on the list! Thank you so much for joining me!
Love what you did here but I am not impressed with AI interpretation of the monsters. None even followed the description. Kind of letdown. I am just not impressed with AI art on any subject.
@@kmcclinton71 I will. I keep looking at it. But so far it is just not right to me. It's not human. Lol I really like what you do though!! TY. Don't know if I will ever forgive what it did to Lovecraft's monsters. I am hardcore fan of his work. This AI interpretation is just not even close. : )
Seems like the AI needs to learn what “featureless” means 😂
haha! So much to teach... so little time.

I think the best representation of a Shoggoth is the creature from The Thing
Lovecraft hard to explain and planned that way
I just recently tried Lovecraft again... see what you think of the new images. Thanks for the comment!
Glad I'm not the only one who tried this.
Did yours turn out as wrong as these did?

The basic problem with all of these is that they are too solid. They should be constantly shifting and morphing.
You forgot Bel-Shamaroth😂 This is actually a figure in the books from Terry Pratchett. RIP. He was a great author.
A guy typing in descriptions of eldritch gods in to an AI image generator sounds exactly like how the world gets destroyed by the Elder Things. 🤔😱😄
If I see ANYTHING resembling any of the creatures in this vid... I am running away screaming! Thanks for checking it out!
AI looks perfect but lacks the soul of purely human art.
Tsalhoggua was 100% exactly what the prompt said. Probably the only flawless one the AI managed. A lot of the others were really good but had something wrong about them, like size.
Unfortunately humans are not able to read captions with the speed of AI!
Please tell me you did Bulldozer
I have not... I am assuming you mean Bulldozer by Stephen Meader? I will add it to the list! Thanks!
@@kmcclinton71 no it’s a story from that book from laird Barron

Looks like human artists won't be out of jobs anytime soon!
