Code wizards have been using machine-learning tools such as VQGAN + CLIP and BigSleep to create novel images that grow spontaneously from word prompts.
To my fascination and delight, some of them have gotten interesting results by including the phrase "by James Gurney."
'The Hermit Alchemist’s Hut by Van Gogh'
Erfurt Latrine Disaster (Twitter @ErfurtLatrine) Prompt: "Towers" #VQGAN+#CLIP
The prompts can be simple, such as "Towers."
....Or the prompts can evoke a particular role-playing game, such as "Forbidden Lands."
The results develop a unusual style if you add a descriptor naming a studio, portfolio website, or rendering software, such as "from Studio Ghibli" or "trending on ArtStation" or "rendered in Unreal Engine"
"The Grand Hall of the Sacred Library by James Gurney"
Twitter user Ryan Moulton @moultano created a set of related images starting with the phrase 'The Hermit Alchemist’s and varying only the style cue:
'The Hermit Alchemist’s Hut by James Gurney'
'The Hermit Alchemist’s Hut rendered in Unreal Engine'.
'The Hermit Alchemist’s Hut by Van Gogh'
Matteo Vera @MatteoVera1 VQGAN + CLIP
"A castle built on the skeleton of a dead god by James Gurney"
Ryan Moulton @moultano "In the Woods, Gouache Painting."
Using the phrase "In the Woods + Gouache Painting" (without an artist's name) yields something that appears painted in water media, like a Mary Blair concept painting, but with something weird about the kids' faces.
All of the results have issues of basic logic and perspective. They never make sense or seem fully coherent, at least not yet.
But some of them do suggest a recognizable style. Does this look like my style to you? I'm not sure; it feels both familiar and alien. It almost looks like something from a long lost sketchbook.
