#WAKU Fes Unauthorized After-Party!

I just found out that multiple posts are allowed, and it's already the final day!?

"WAKU☆WAKU Fes 2024 Autumn: Art is WAKU×2! AI Illustration Festival"
is the event this article is participating in!

Since up to three articles are allowed, I was planning to show up again and get carried away!
...but the date has changed, so I'm sending this as an "after-party" on my own!

Man, I didn't check the details properly!
Sorry about that!

By the way, this is my first article.

The theme this time is "The Four Seasons of Japan"!

The prompt is just this.

spring in Japan (Below, I just swapped the seasons to generate the images)

Isn't it amazing!?

With just three words, you can draw something like this!

If you add more prompts here, you can include people, objects, effects, touch, and other visual effects, but personally, this quality is enough.

There are many programs that can generate AI illustrations, and it feels like each one shows evolution with every version update.

They have become able to generate "convincing" illustrations without needing to convey difficult things through prompts.

Well, just by including "Japan," "cherry blossoms" and "Mt. Fuji" are almost always generated lol

If you look closely, there are things to nitpick, but for usage like "I want to use it for an article header" or "I want to use it for a novel illustration," I think it's more than enough, don't you?

By the way, these are

Leonardo AI

using software (or a site?).
The image size is 16:9, generating 4 images at once uses "11 tokens" but you get "150 tokens" for free every day so you can generate a decent number of images (13 times a day, 52 images under the same conditions).

If you want to use specific image sizes or special effects, it becomes a paid service, but since there are plans starting from around 1,000 yen per month, I think it's easy to try out even for those who want to start in earnest, right?

By the way, I'm using it for free lol

* The site does not support Japanese

The "Why did that happen?" category

This time the prompts were extremely simple, so there were almost no "why did that happen?" moments, but I'll post the illustrations I didn't choose.

And with that, I will conclude the second WAKU Fes article.

To all the organizers and participants, thank you for your hard work!
I had a wonderful time!

Let's meet again somewhere!!

Lastly, I apologize for the self-promotion, but...

This will be held from October 10th to 21st!
Early submissions are also OK, so the duration doesn't really matter anymore lol

Although it is billed as "Music and Novels," illustrations inspired by songs are also welcome to participate, so please listen to the songs and join us with illustrations generated from your imagination!

I, Yagami, have challenged myself to "write lyrics" for two of the assigned songs (along with those by other wonderful creators, for a total of four songs), so please check them out!

I am looking forward to everyone's participation!
Thank you very much!
