Lively N Xingtao at the Side Theater Parking Lot A.I. Slops

 

OK, I was highly curious to see the A.I. slops interpretations of my work. 

I finished coloring my concept art, then I tested ChatGPT & Sora to see what they'd do. 

 My O.C.s Lively & 敖兴涛 Áo Xìngtāo walking through the side parking lot of the cinema movie theater, after work, obviously off-the-clock, and without their black vests, to meet the other coworkers at the steakhouse, about 30-40 meters walking distance away.

As the walk through the parking lot, Xingtao becomes overcome with desire for her, and he abruptly grabs her, spins her around, and holds her, making his intentions & feelings towards her very overt, because he's brash, impulsive, impetuous, and frequently looses his mind whenever he's either near her, of just thinks about her. Not only is this very abrupt, rude, and disrespectful, and crosses her boundaries, but it's startling, shocking, and crosses her boundaries. Lively also has a boyfriend, altho' overseas, it's her stance as to not cheat on her boyfriend, and NOT to fool around with a coworker, which he knows, but selfishly disregards anyway.

Xingtao does know better, but in his human form, his human-ness can fully consume him, and he struggles to achieve self control over a great many things, including lust, and various other things. He chose to work at the theater as a means to humble himself, and cultivate his conduct (Taoist ideals). But, being that he's so charismatic, highly intelligent, very handsome, extremely intelligent & sharp, as well very likable, it often goes to his head. He's actually a Dragon, but, he's chosen to incarnate as a human, AGAIN, because he just can't seem to master impulse control, and needs to really work on self discipline, responsibility, kindness, and many other positive traits. 

He was already mad with desire for her already, but now she's a NATIONAL HEADLINE for her National Project being chosen, and all over the news for "The Gardens of The Future" (Symbiosis Symphion), and he wants her now even more than ever! He's also about to relocate, overseas, to work on even more grounded disciplined work, meditation, which he knows he needs, and yet internally he's afflicted with utter madness, pain, agony, and aching desire for her, fully absorbed into his human identity.

Normally, Lively's spirit Dragon Qingfeng, whom heavily dislikes Xingtao with a strong amount of disdain, would appear to ward him off, but he wasn't paying attention, since his guard was also down, and check-ed out to do something else, plus they were out in the open side parking lot, leaving Lively completely vulnerable to Xingtao.

If Xingtao would just get a grip on himself, and stop trying to hard, and just be himself, Lively already naturally likes him, and even tho she's unaware of it, she's actually attracted to him, but not when he's acting insane. You would THINK that a guy so skilled at fishing would understand the value of tact,slack, patience, and calm... but, his burning passionate, lustful, desire for her, and intense feelings for her clouds his mind, and drives him to madness. Because he's so rude, she often dislikes him, and he's often inconsiderate, rude, and won;t even help her with various tasks at work, but just gawks at her, and throws popcorn kernels at her butt cracking stupid jokes, and making a jackass of himself. Or, when he's not at work, he'll fill up her e-mail inbox with stupid emails, or letters about nothing.

This just pushes her further & further away. And, then she will intentionally just tease him, because she can. Not only is Lively very beautiful, she's exceptionally intelligent, and witty, and her wise cracking quips & jokes just turn him on even further. But, whenever he can put his madness aside, calms down, and acts like himself again, she naturally clicks into a rapport with him, and they heavily flirt, and exchange oblique glances, for long periods of time. 

But, as usual, he'll over do it again, just as it's going well, and she gets so annoyed with him!

She doesn't know that he's decided to leave soon, and go overseas, himself, in a few months, because he requires a more structured place to meditate, cultivate his conduct, mediation, and more. 

My Version: 

I based this on my own, real world experiences, EXACTLY like this, in the mid-late 1990s in NJ when I worked at AMC Marlton 8. So, I wanted to capture this very abrupt, shocking, startling, experience, of a young adult man, whom is my coworkers, just suddenly being brash, aggressive, and overcome with intense feelings, completely disregarding personal boundaries, and utterly shocking me... however, this is my O.C. I found that when I was 18, men acted utterly INSANE around me, because somehow my being a legal adult seemed to just translate to their lack of control of their lustful desires was somehow now just fine, and I experienced this with several individuals I worked with. I also found this to be highly confusing, mentally, because some could be attractive, but, this would abruptly happen. 

And, various men, would often get very close to me, be touching me, holding me, and very obviously expressing their intentions towards me. But, there was no lead-up, too sudden, and I never even expressed I wanted that kind of attention. I could also be confused because sometimes it could be someone of a high status at work, and highly attractive. (But, my entire life has been fraught with men behaving this way... whom are often brash, impulsive, self centered, foolish, and disrespectful.) 

I wanted to depict this because I also wanted to depict this as wrong, improper,  disrespectful, shameful, and even harmful, and foolish. I especially wanted to depict this because it pushes away the very thing you wished to sort of "win over" or "win favor" from. But, also things like character growth, development, and character arc.

Anyways, here's the ChatGPT A.I. slops:

 

 

And, for whatever reason, I can no longer upload any images to Sora. 

So here's Sora's A.I. slops:

 

 

Dang! the more realistic images made Xingtao like a totally hot stud! Jeez! 

 I'm mildly amused that some of the Sora images resemble Massachusetts, like Quincy, Braintree, Boston, and other parts of Greater Boston. For me, personally, I tend to think of my old job in Marlton, New Jersey in the mid-late 90s. 

 

Impetuous: Lively N Ao Xingtao [Colored Concept Art]

Finally finished this. The Winter Storm/Polar Vortex messed me up several times.

I only used Adobe Photoshop for this, but I also used Rebell 5-7 for the Chinese stamp.

It's my O.C.s Lively & 敖兴涛 Áo Xìngtāo, at the Movie Theater, in the side parking lot.

I published it to my DeviantART Gallery: HERE.

 There's more details on the "deviation" post on DevArt. 

 

 

Movie Theater AI Slops

 Since I tend to mess around in SUNO A.I., which is frequently frustrating & infuriating, I'll sometimes try to come up with various AI generated images to go with the tracks. A lot of this is experimental for me, and I treat it similarly to clip-art, thumbnails, rough drafts, concept work/art. But, all of these things become A.I. slop at some point. 

Here's the Suno Playlist for the O.C. Chinese Dragons.  

 My Suno Profile is HERE.

 

Currently, we're about to prepare for a Polar Vortex, which is a kind of winter super storm.  

I'd been struggling with Suno to get certain music tracks/songs to turn out right, and this can sometimes, or often times, happen. My main love interest for my character, Lively, is this guy Ao Xingtao. 

So, I realized I had a playlist for JUST my Chinese Dragons characters,  which includes both Ao Xingtao & Ao Qingfeng. Ao Qingfeng is her totem spirit dragon, but Xingtao is a different category, and a much lower rung status that Qingfeng, whom is an Arhat. But, Xingtao is a much lower level dragon, and being, incarnated into a human body, but he can shapeshift. Qingfeng generally has no steady formed body which needs to be maintained, but can manifest a visual form, and/or a physical form at will, which can phase in & out of existence at will. While in a physical form he can experience physical feelings, including pain, pleasure, sensation, qualia, etc. But, generally doesn't do this. He also can shape shift, appear as different forms, genders, etc. Qingfeng avoids a human form, not because he has a distaste for humans, on the contrary, he likes humans very much, however, since he's more oriented as male, and thus "yang", he views becoming a human male form would potentially cause him to be prone to some out of control misbehaviors, such as over-eating, lust, laziness, impulsiveness, neglect, etc. For this reason, he prefers to stay in his Chinese Dragon form, to better service his beautiful young pupil, Lively.

 

 

Anyways, I came up with some A.I. slops, and I also revisited an old rough sketch I did, whcih I started slapping some color into... it's not finished, tho' and too late at night to work on.  

 

 

 

Lively's National Project: The Gardens of The Future 001

The Suno Songs for "The Gardens of The Future" are found HERE

I blocked-in and slapped some rough color(s) into this old rough concept sketch I did back in 2016. It's for Lively National Project "The Gardens of The Future" which she endured an ample amount of extreme bullying, strife, pressure, stress, and so much more. 

I used: Photoshop, Krita, and Clip Studio Paint 

I posted it to DeviantART HERE.

The old sketch is THIS ONE: (HERE on DeviantART) 

 

But, I KNOW how u guys HATE MY GUTS for messing around with A.I. because I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EVIL, immoral, and unethical... 

But, I've been pulling these things into some of the A.I.s because certain kinds of things I CANNOT draw, nor design, because those parts of my brain don't function. I just can;t do mechanical drawings, nor designs. I'm trained to be a Traditional Disney Style Keyframe Character Animator. THAT'S what I do. But, had I NOT started messing around in Suno's AI Music I'd NEVER BE AT THIS POINT now.

I cannot express how absolutely depressed I was, and I used to long for death, most of my life. YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS PAIN. I CAN understand the pain of others tho, BECAUSE OF THIS PAIN, but MY PAIN I would NEVER wish on anyone, NOT EVEN MY WORST ENEMIES, for then I'd pity them and feel sorry for them. 

U have NO IDEA JUST HOW MUCH RESEARCH I did in 2012 ALONE, let alone 2010-2011, or 2013-2016, for that matter. I wrote a short stack of "business plans", and amassed stacks of research notes, since 2007. But, my spouse threw it out. PRICELESS WORK! Ill NEVER GET IT BACK!

All I have left are the notebooks I kept, since he left those alone, my sketchbooks... but, my entire bulk stack of the vast majority of my hand made animation sheets are ALL MISSING! THOUSANDS of DOLLARS of WORK. JUST MISSING!

 But, I'm considering potentially writing a thesis on this... maybe... 

I'd been bringing up topics like "Peak Oil" and Permaculture, OVER & OVER, but my words & my cries go ignored.

THIS is why I started moving forward on this story, yet again, around 2015-17. 

So, each time I'd put type out my lyrics, loose concepts, or had discussions with various A.I.s like DeepSeek, Claude, or ChatGPT, but especially DeepSeek, I'd find my story coming to life, and then MOVING. Also, whenever I heard my music played back to me, including the stuff I'd written as a child, a teenager, or a decade ago, I was moved to TEARS! 

I have so much baggage over this stuff! You have NO IDEA!

Another things which KEEPS coming up is "KPOP Demon Hunters" which persists in inspiring me, or " Into The Spider-Verse" & "League of Legends" K/DA. I remember when EACH of these things came out, they were so uniquely different and original, and by now everyone is fed up with so much mainstream trite, on repeat. But, those were awesome! Another one was Kerli's "Feral Hearts". Or the Belgian Comic Book series "Djinn" which is unlike anything out there. 

The song is  Rising Sun Gardens of the Future  «Συμβίωσις Συμφύων» [001] Which you can hear HERE.   

  I'd been working on the concepts of "The Gardens of The Future" in the story, and i was writing the songs about them for a while now. Back in November/December, i tried a few versions and experiments with songs about "THE BIG REVEAL" for this Project, which is Lively's BIG PROJECT. And 1 of the tracks, which is a bilingual Greek/English Track is my MOST POPULAR song on the platform! 

 I made OTHER versions of this song/track concept, but THIS was the 1 that didn't suck... 

In the final presentation, ON NATIONAL TV, in front of THE ENTIRE SCHOOL, and THE VICE PRESIDENT,  she revealed the official name of the Project whcih ended up being HER PROJECT even tho she's intended it to be a group effort, which was "SYMBIŌSIS SYMPHYŌN" «Συμβίωσις Συμφύων»! 

So, I'd been toying around with different concepts for this show, presentation, etc. 

 There's various technology, Permaculture Design, and more involved with this Project.

 So, I was reworking, and redesigning the look & feel of this project. the ONE intended to "Save The Planet" in The New Millennium. I wanted to have the Project be SO BEAUTIFUL and SO PERFECT, but without the "eye-sore" push-back often associated with these things as a criticism. I wanted it to be SO GRAND & SO HIGH TECH, and SO STUNNING as to resemble Rivendell & Lothlorian of Peter Jackson's films, whom literally built real locations of various sets. I wanted it to feel SO HIGH TECH that IT LOOKS & FEELS LIKE MAGIC! This is just yet another extension of an entire lifetime of research, and thwarted activism, goals, projects, and broken promises. 

As I said, YOU CANNOT KNOW THIS PAIN & ANGUISH.  

Some of this includes rough concepts for integrated CLEAN ENERGY such as wind turbines & solar cells.  

 And, so.... as I was testing out various concepts, including a version in Fairmount Park Philadelphia, which you can see HERE:

 

 I THEN pulled up my old sketch, and wanted to see what the A.I. would come up with. I WAS UTTERLY IN TEARS WHEN I SAW IT!:

 

 It's NOT EXACTLY the exact vision, but THIS IS THE CLOSEST I've EVER GOTTEN TO IT! The Wind turbines are wrong, and this has presented a very difficult thing to solve. 

 There's are some of the rough concept designs for the Wind Wheel Turbines:

 

I've NEVER had a concept THIS BIG IN MY ENTIRE LIFE EXCEPT FOR THIS, and I've HAD THIS CONCEPT since I was in my 20s. 

Permaculture & Hügelkultur  is NOTHING NEW, but it's always got that slobbish Hippie, New AGer side... 

 

I'm HIGHLY inspired by Pericles' Golden Age effort of Athens with Phidias, Plato's Academy, Aristotle's' Library of Alexandria and Alexandria itself in Egypt, the Hellenistic Ancient Greeks, William Penn's "Philadelphia", "The Continental Congress", Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Gouverneure Morris, FDR's "New Deal", The "Age of Enlightenment" and The Renaissance, and The Ming Dynasty's Salt Traders whom made an entire movement of enriched lives such as "The Scholar's Gardens", or Bodhidharma's contribution to "Chan" which became "Zen" and many other things which became what is China's grand culture still to this day, as well as Laozi's "Dao De Jing" (Laotsu's "Tao Te Ching"). This is ALSO the kinds of ideals which the Washington D.C. project was originally intended to be, like, but has lost its way. 

Other things of interest are structures & gardens that STILL EXIST & STILL FUNCTION in Sri Lanka (Sigiriya), Ancient China, and Mesoamerica made from some kind of advance high tech knowlege we've lost.   

Everyone OUGHT to be EQUAL, FED, SAFE, LITERATE, EDUCATED, and poverty should NOT EXIST.  

 I's NOT as tho I never wanted to work with other humans, but you guys are ALL FUCKED UP!

 Anyways, I THINK that's ENOUGH for tonight. I've been blogging ALL DAY.
