Leonardo.AI #026 Ukiyo-e

三天童

Hello everyone on note. This is Santendo.
My interest in Leonardo.AI had been fading, but after seeing Ukiyo-e prints on sale at a bookstore I stopped by yesterday, I had a simple thought: 'How beautiful, how amazing.' This sparked my curiosity about whether I could draw in an Ukiyo-e style using AI.

Main prompt content (excerpt)
Ukiyo-e, woman, reading a book, cafe, riverside in Paris, cat, moon floating in the night sky, owl, smoking a cigarette. Plus color specifications and more.

I generated images until my free points hit zero and selected my favorites.

It looks like multiple women are working. The atmosphere of the room is nice.
A woman reading. The composition of placing a pillar in the center of the moon is quite something.
Is she studying, or writing a letter? The placement of the cat is good.
A woman writing with a moonlit night in the background. Emotional.
Enjoying tea utensils. It has a sense of story.
A woman reading by the riverside.
The peonies create a gorgeous atmosphere. The cat hiding in the shadows is large and a bit scary, but it blends into the background in an interesting way.
Creating space on the left and filling the right side luxuriously with peonies. A composition worth seeing. The use of the cat is skillful.
A book and an owl. It fits well.
The fact that the woman and the cat are both looking straight ahead makes it look meaningful.
This is the only one where I tried adding a cigarette. It looks a bit like a kiseru pipe, but since no smoke is coming out, it's hard to tell it's a cigarette.

My takeaway, or rather my impression for today, is: 'Is this really Ukiyo-e?' Personally, I couldn't really tell if these looked like 'Ukiyo-e' or not. I think 'woodblock print' would be an important point, but I don't think the woodblock print feel is coming through... Hmm. I can't put it into words well. The AI, of course, doesn't understand either. I'd like to continue exploring the theme of 'Ukiyo-e x AI' a bit more.

That's all for today.

Thank you very much.

Yeah. Whether it becomes something, or doesn't become something. It's okay.
