Tried to get AI to generate a decent one in the style of Rob Liefeld (early 90s, specifically). Out of hundreds of generated images that were a varied combination of gory, gay, NSFW, and surreal, I think this one is as good as it’s gonna get. Man, it is really hard to generate sloppy, hastily-drawn comic book art, ChatGPT4 & Dall-E kept making everything look crisp as though McFarlane or Lee drew it.
I did this on and off for about a month. Weird to do in your spare time. Anyway, I uploaded a few highlights to this album if anyone’s interested: https://postimg.cc/gallery/Rq8CBys
ChatGPT Query: What’s a clever way to say “Glorious” in the context of Klingon Opera?
New band name. I’m calling dibs
Batlhvatlh would make a fantastic Metal band name
It could be a whole subgenre:
Batlvatlh Metal
Oh man I think you just created something. Excellent idea
brilliant lol I think you guys are on to something
How does this AI thing work? Cuz I would absolutely abuse it to create a tenforward metal opera band
I have a ChatGPT subscription and have access to DALL*E 3, which is integrated into ChatGPT 4, which I used to generate these images. I’m no expert, I just try to describe the image to generate as best as I can. It can get tricky sometimes if you try to generate copyrighted material; like, it can return a pretty decent-looking ship that looks close to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A, but it won’t do it if you ask for Discovery.
DALL*E 2 (the previous version) is available for free at https://openai.com/dall-e-2. It’s not as good, though. I fed it one of the prompts I used in v3 and it returned stuff like this: https://i.postimg.cc/V61KR6vK/DALL-E-2024-01-10-21-03-29-klingon-opera.png. That’s all I got, sorry. Hope this was helpful.
I looked into music generation AI. Couldn’t find anything that didn’t require money. Which is fine, I’m all for people getting paid.
I just wanted to generate some tracks and mix them myself into something silly. No clue what the status of AI vocals is though, and a klingon opera metal singer is key.
Here’s my first foray into the realm of off-Broadway Klingon battle opera promo posters :
Hey, that’s pretty epic! The blood/fire effects really help drive home the idea. I wish this was a thing, I never cared for opera but I’d buy tickets to this!
To be fair, opera traditionally makes up words just to maintain rhyme, et al, whereas Klingin’d just be Klingon. 🤘🏼
