DALL-E 2: Transforming stills from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

There’s a (disturbing to all that are sane) video series on YouTube called “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared”. The creatures in these videos are visually interesting so I thought I’d give DALL-E 2 some stills and see what alternate images it would generate. In this series the original image will be first, followed by 5 computer-generated alternate versions.

DALL-E 2: a baroque painting of the most Halloween of Halloweens with skeletons and vampires

So, everyone loves Halloween right? Well I love Baroque paintings and Halloween so I thought I would give OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 the following query “a baroque painting of the most Halloween of Halloweens with skeletons and vampires”. These computer-generated images are AWESOME!

DALL-E 2: sculpture of a female strongman made from bronze, studio lighting, Sigma 85 mm f/1.4

Since I’m a mostly-done strength athlete, and still have gobs and gobs of strength athlete friends, I decided to see what OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 could do given some sort of strength prompt. These digital images were generated entirely by the following prompt “sculpture of a female strongman made from bronze, studio lighting, Sigma 85 mm f/1.4”

DALL-E 2: h.r. giger drawing of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints

I’ve figured out that OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 is really good at generating H. R. Giger inspired art. I was curious to see what sort of temples it might create given the following query “h.r. giger drawing of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints”, oh man, a few of these are Amazing. Can you imagine if a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint temples actually looked like one of these?! Some of the temples have a lot of non-members going to them for prom, wedding, quinceanera, etc photos but if some of them looked like this I think you’d have gobs of cosplayers showing up too!

DALL-E 2: H.R. Giger drawing of vintage computers

These are hands down the coolest things I’ve generated with OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 today. I fed the system the prompt “h.r. giger drawing of vintage computers” and it generated these digital images. Siiiick!

DALL-E 2: a photo of a steampunk spaceship

Steampunk stuff can be pretty fun so I decided to give OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 the query “ a photo of a steampunk spaceship” to see what sort of computer generated creation it could churn out. While some of these have some glitchy bits, they mostly look like real objects that someone crafted up.

DALL-E 2: an oil painting of psychedelic robots

Continuing with my pschadelic robots theme I tasked OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 to generate the following query “ an oil painting of psycahdelic robots”. These computer-generated images are something I’d genuinely consider hanging on my office walls if they were real paintings.

DALL-E 2: a wood carving of psychedelic robots

I’ve really come to love the wood carvings DALL-E 2 can generate with a fairly simple prompt, I also like robots and psychedelic art so… let’s see what we can generate with this query: “a wood carving of psycahdelic robots”

DALL-E 2: felt needling of psychedelic robots

Here with another needle felting query, I tried to throw DALL-E 2 a curve ball with “felt needling” and it handled it like a champ generating some great digital images from the following query “ felt needling of psycahdelic robots”
