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:

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:

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!!

Hello and Welcome!

 Trying something new and different for me.....  

Years ago, I had tried my hand at selling scrap kits - wasn't that successful.  So, for the time being, I'll be sharing all my scrap kits - both FTU and Previously PTU - here on this blog.  I'll also be sharing other stuff made in PSP and other places, such as masks, frames, backgrounds, gradients and so forth.  There isn't going to be any kind of schedule to the shares.  I might share once a week, or back to back, or possibly weeks in between.  Whenever it hits me and I post.  The scrap items are in zip-files, and the TOU will be in there, too.

Also, have recently gotten in to AI and use a variety of different programs - sometimes I'll use one image and put it through 2 or more.  I know some are leery of AI, or refusing to use it and that is your prerogative and I respect that.  However, please reciprocate and respect my desire to use these AI generated products, without argument.  I - personally - just view it as another (digital) art tool, just like some use Procreate or Photoshop or Wacom tablets.  Based on the info provided by many of the AI places, they are not USING other artist's art.  What the programs are designed to do is, if prompted, they are using the art style of whatever artist might be mentioned to help get an idea of what the designer/creator is trying to accomplish.  I see this as not much different than a (traditional) artist using inspiration from other sources, including other artists.  The percentage of an "artist" showing up in a finished AI image (or even their art style), when combined with all the other stuff via the prompts ends up being quite small.

That being said, to cover all bases, I checked out the TOUs/TOS for the different AI programs that I've been using and what they do and don't allow (etc.) and I will provide the links to them on the side of the blog.  When I post anything for FTU share that was designed in an AI program in any manner (even if just a small percentage), I will note it both in the post and on the item.  Since my understanding is that AI generated art can NOT be copyrighted, when using my (AI) stuff, you can use the following for crediting:

I'm not sure if I'll be reviving my old scrap blog - if I do, I will let you know.  I *do* have all intention(s) of reviving my tutorial blog, which is still usable and found here:
