my entry to the Creative Crypto Magazine EOS art challenge

in creativecrypto •  7 years ago  (edited)

I'm more and more tempted by these kinds of challenges, as they always bring to mind ideas of using tools on the internet to craft art I would never in a million years be able to craft on my own (Well.. Ok.. maybe I'd be able to get at least some skill in a million years of practice, but I'd still be no Van Gogh !)

First, a better image for the post thumbnail is one of the results ;)

So, I used 3 artist styles:

  • Van Gogh,
  • Leonardo Da Vinci
  • Hans Holbein The Younger (specifically, his The Ambassadors painting style)

Here's the process I followed:

adjusting the image in an online image editor

I took one of the EOS images from the post and edited it a bit in the online Canva editing tool

Creating the background using Generative Art

I then googled about a bit in search of a good tool to create the background, and found Weavesilk by Yuri Vishnevsky.

It's an Interactive Generative Art tool, existing as it's own website and also available on Iphone/Ipad that makes some astonishing and beautiful weaves.

I immediately knew I had to use it for the project !!

All art created by the Weavesilk tool is released under Creative Commons (CC-BY 3.0) and therefore so is my submission to this challenge.

You can even adjust the symmetry !
I chose a 5-point symmetry setting with Mirror effect ON.

And thus, here is the background I will combine with the logo !

Gimping a bit

I then imported both the logo and the background into GIMP

and combined them

Then, I went over to my Deep Dream Generator account to "steal" the style of my selected artists.

Results of Deep Dreaming

And here's the results !

Raw, without added styles

Leonardo Da Vinci styled dream

The Ambassadors Styled dream

Daniel Knight styled dream

(I have no idea who he is... the style just caught my eye and I decided to apply it)
