This is my first AI piece.
I'm a writer, by trade - but I do love the visual arts as well, and have always done my own book covers.
As I got ready to bring my books onto the blockchain as NFTs, I thought about trying my hand at using AI to reimagine the cover art for my short story "Happily Ever After".
The story gives the "wicked queen" from our favorite fairy tales a chance to tell her side of the stories...
Now, I'm not the only person who has reimagined the "wicked queen" - one of my favorite authors, Neil Gaiman wrote a very different short story that had the same starting point, but quite a different ending.
His story was titled "Snow Glass Apples," and when I put my original cover art into the NightCafe AI software, and entered prompts which included "Mirror wicked apple glow sinister ethereal fantasy mist," this is what resulted.
It was the colors of my original cover, with the landscape transformed into ice and snow, with the Queen's purple robes and jewelry swirled into a Fabergesque apple.
So, I decided to name it "Snow Glass Apple" in homage to Neil Gaiman's story, and decided to share it as my first Tezos 1-of-1 rather than using it as a book cover.
I'll be donating 10% to "Doctors Without Borders" in a blockchain transaction.
