Beach Time Word Art

Hello! 

For those that don't know, I love word art!  So earlier, I was trying to make some word art in a couple of the different AI programs ... some weren't all that great however some came out pretty decently.  It's a work-in-progress, so hoping I can eventually figure out the "perfect" prompt words to get better results.  Some I had to tweak in PSP.  For example, some of the "Sand and Surf" would add an "i" in "Surf", so went in and deleted the "i", centered the word and moved it around to look better, then saved.  So little tweaks like that.  Extra letters or words with an added letter ..... nothing major, nothing I couldn't easily fix.  Some had a bunch of empty "dead space" around them so I cropped them down, so some will be different sizes.

I tried to keep with the whole summer/beach/ocean/sea fun time theme so .... sharing the better ones here for anyone who would like them. I'll probably have some more later as I fix/tweak some of the others.  There's actually quite a lot - this is just a partial amount.

If you use them in anything, I'd love to see!!

Please, if you'd like to share these, send people to the blog to download - please don't share these in groups or load them up to file share sites.  They're FTU, so ... just a little courtesy?  Thanks.

Happy creating!!

Just click on them to open them full-sized, then right click/save as.  The previews are much smaller than the actual images.  You can remove the credit info when using - it's just there for ID in case someone wants to check out the blog.

Some New Grunge Masks

 Been playing around in PSP, making some masks ... sharing some here now.  Remember, in PSP, if you want to switch the black and white on the mask you can do one of two things:

1.  Go to Adjust  > Color Balance > Negative Image -- this will switch the white and black
2.  In your layers palette, on the layer you want to use the mask on, just right click, go to New Mask Layer  > From Image ... when the window comes up, use the drop down to choose the mask file (make sure its minimized in PSP first) and then at the bottom, select "invert mask data" and it will switch the black and white on the mask.

Here are the masks - just click on it to make it larger, then just right click/save as. 

 They should all be in jpg format.  Enjoy!!

Some New Masks

 Well, I know it's been a long time since I've posted.  Right now the household is dealing with food poisoning, so to get my mind off of things I decided to get a little creative in PSP and try my hand at making some masks.  I had made some in the past, which I will share on this blog at some point, however I managed to find a bunch of new-to-me brushes so figured, what the heck.  I hope you like them and if you use them, I'd love to see!!

Just click on the image and it should open it up, just do the whole right click/save as and you should be good to go!!

Enjoy!

New WordArt

 Just going to keep this short and sweet.

I made a couple of word art (word arts?) over the last few days in Paint Shop Pro  and wanted to share them with you.  The come in both .psp and .psd format.... they are layered with the words being on one layer, the white "backing" (currently not showing on the previews) on another layer, so you can choose what you want to use - or not.

The first one is "Be Honest Be True":

and can download here:

.psp format  /  .psd format

The next one is called "Fun Fact" ... a little attitude can be a good thing!

and can download here:

.psp format  /  .psd format

If you have any problems with the download(s), please let me know.

If you make anything with these, I'd love to see them.

Happy Creating!!

Three New Shares!

 Hello everyone!

I know it's been a while since I posted ... real life has kicked in, and just dealing with the depression and other such.  Also been busy busy with the different AI programs so been working on tubing them and getting them ready to share....   I have a LOT to get ready and then share!

Also, I will be sharing the tubes on my FOTKI as well on here - they will have their own section, and then the tubes will be sorted as best as I can based on their subject/theme/genre.  The main folder can be found here:

https://public.fotki.com/WillowRaven/willowravens-psp-fr/ai-tubes/

I will share them here first, and then load them up to FOTKI.

In the meantime, here are a few things that I have all ready to go.

First:  some panda bears that I made with the Creative Fabrica image creator called Spark (they also have a new one called "Flow" that is still in beta, and I've been LOVING the results on it!!).  Here are the pandas, in png format (transparent background):

And the zip file can be found here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/eu1z71ehvwiv1zr/AI-Art-By-WillowRaven-2023_Pandas-CR-04252023.zip/file

I also have some fun robots under umbrellas in the rain .... I tried to tube these, even with the free sites that have tubing programs, however it kept removing the rain so just left them in their jpg format (just a plain white background) .... If you want to tube them for yourself to use, that is ok with me.  (I'd love to have a set of the tubed ones if you do, if you don't mind sharing.)

Here are the robots which were made with the BING Image Creator:

And the zip file can be found here:

The last thing I have to share today are some really pretty lilac backgrounds.  I made these in the very beginning days of trying the BING image creator, and I love lilacs (they were my mom's favorite flower) and even though I was trying to do something quite different, I like how these came out.  Here's the preview:

Before I forget, no they are not seamless.  That being said, I still love how they came out!  They are in jpg format.

The zip file can be found here:

I hope that you like what I was able to share today, and look forward to sharing more in the near future.  If you make something with my items, I'd love to see!!

Happy creating, y'all!!!

Sea Otters!

 Anyone who knows me knows how much I love otters and how I'd love to have one as a pet.  So, of course, I had to try and make a sea otter or two.  I think these came out adorable and I'm hoping I can try some more in the future.

Here is a preview of what is in the zipfile - each is on it's own png formatted file:

These were made with BING Image Creator, which has been a lot of fun to use, and pretty easy.

And you can snag them here:

If you end up making anything with them, I'd love to see.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog and checking out my stuff!!

Until next time ...

My First Share!

 Hello everyone!!

Well, here I am with my first freebie share - I hope you like it.  I've been playing around with the different AI Image Generators - mostly the free ones - and having fun with them.  Today's share was made on Microsoft's Dall-E.  It is really easy to use and the results have been very nice so far.  I will try to put together a little list of the different AI's I've been trying/using on the right side of the blog, for those who might be interested in trying them out.

And now for the share .... 

4 cute little polar bears that look like:

Each bear is on it's own .png formatted file,   Size of file is 500 pixels x 500 pixels (which seems to be one of the standard sizes for the free AIs or the free plans on the pay AI's however Playground AI *does* allow some creations to go up to 1024x1024).

You can snag the zip of these bears, here:
Polar Bears at MediaFire

I hope you like them nd if you make anything with them, I'd love to see it!!

Happy Creating!!
