[Part 7] [Production Ideas] How to Expand on a Theme [Know-how]

Hello, this is Koala🐨🌻

Suddenly, to you who are creating AI illustrations!


Are you wondering, 'What kind of illustration should I make?'
🤔 and thinking about it every day?

.........Me too!🤣

When I create my daily illustrations, I also 'wonder what kind of development I should do'🤔 and agonize over it every time.

This time, for those who
create illustrations starting from a theme,

"I would like to share how to expand on a theme!"✍😆

*･..･*:.｡✲🌻✲🌻✲🌻✲｡.:*･..･*

Let's get started!🏃️💨

▫️Rough flow

The general flow is as follows!

▫️In more detail

Now, I will explain how to actually do it, step by step!😆

*･..･*:.｡✲🌻✲🌻✲🌻✲｡.:*･..･*

1. Selection of a theme

First, decide on a theme!

In my case, I usually use the SeaArt daily themes.

A screen like this👇

🔶

Alternatively, I use a
"tool that suggests themes"that I had an AI create for me previously.
Feel free to use it if you'd like~😆

It gives suggestions like this!

🔶

Once you have a theme you want to draw ready,
next, we'll think about the story!🏃️💨

② Expanding your imagination from the theme

Next, I expand my imagination from the theme
and think about what kind of illustration to make!

My tips for coming up with ideas are the following 3 patterns!😆

[Classic Story]

"Translating the theme literally into a story"
is the image!

For example,
the following"Unicorn" themedillustration.

I take the theme of a unicorn as it is,and turn it into an illustration!

➡️A classic story is about creating an illustration that follows the prompt straightforwardly!

🌻　🌻　🌻

[Peripheral Story]

It's the image of "focusing on the surrounding characters"!
image!

For example,
the following illustration themed around a "cloud telephone booth".

Instead of the telephone booth itself,
the theme is "the person using the telephone booth"!

➡️A peripheral story is about imagining the people or objects around the theme, rather than the theme itself, and making them the main subject!

🌻　🌻　🌻

[Comedy Story]

It's the image of "developing something else from a keyword"!
image!

For example,
the following illustration themed around "red and black".

First,
I imagine things that are red and black from "red" and "black".
(At this time, I imagined a traffic light)

Furthermore,
I developed the image from "traffic light -> no entry -> X mark -> Jirai-kei (landmine style) -> little devil"😆

➡️An 'Oogiri' (big-laugh) story is more about ignoring the literal meaning of the theme and letting your imagination run wild!🤣

*･..･*:.｡✲🌻✲🌻✲🌻✲｡.:*･..･*

3. Imagine the illustration

Next, I test whether an illustration can be generated from the story I've thought up!

Recent AI models are truly excellent,
and tools like ChatGPT and Nano banana have become able to create illustrations exactly as instructed! 😳✨

So, you might not run into much trouble, but...

Sometimes,you just can't get the AI to generate the image you have in your head.
Especially with SeaArt 🤣 lol

If this happens, the illustration won't be completed.😭

So,I verify first whether the core image can be output as an illustration!

➡️If it doesn't seem to work,
I rework the story from step 2!💪Fight!

*･..･*:.｡✲🌻✲🌻✲🌻✲｡.:*･..･*

4. Try creating the illustration

Finally, I create illustrations until I'm satisfied!🙌😆

That is all!

▫️Conclusion

This time, I shared some tips on "how to think about what kind of illustration to create" based on a theme~😊
How was it?

Even with the same theme,
infinite variations of work can be born depending on the creator.

And I think the fun of AI illustration is that you can "give shape" to that!
😆✨

Being able to see the world unique to you is also the fun of note, so I would be happy if this helps with everyone's illustration production!☺️

I plan to continue sharing information,
from articles for beginners to advanced applications.

See you again in the next know-how article!🙋️
