With Pleasure - JeffJag

With Pleasure started as a generative adversarial network (GAN) image. I used words like Diamond, Cracked, Crystals, and Refraction to generate the base as a starting point for this hand made digital painting. I painted over it in Procreate. I stretched it from rectangle to square and liquified it, then painted more. I increased the resolution using Topaz Gigapixel AI to 11,111px. I color corrected in Photoshop Camera Raw on desktop. Then brought it back to the iPad Pro for 10 more hours of Procreate paint-over for final polish, detail, and charm. Original GAN image and Procreate Time-lapse videos available to owners through my website. Abstract Art lives in the realm of the unknown and thrives with experimentation. This process of painting over a GAN was something I wanted to try the second I saw GAN art because I wasn't immediately comfortable minting it directly as my work. I'm happy with the results. I made it with pleasure.
