Alan Ki Aankhen is Hindi and means "Alan's Eye" - This is a resemblence to the Turing Test and the artist's - Fahad Karim - goal is to create a collection of 500 that look like he drawed them by himself with pen on paper
The setting is futuristic, but heavily influenced by different architectual styles and cityscapes from our world
The amount of details to be discovered is significant, with many different types of windows, their arches and windowsills, different wall patterns, roofs and building shapes and Alan's eye, following us as part of the buildings and towers
Most of those indivual differences are not shown in the traits but are part of the general underlying algorithm, on the degree of arches, the amount of buildings, the distribution on different roofs, the used patterns and how many blank space is left
The traits are very important too and the most important is the composition - "Eyescape" is most common and shows typical buildings from closer perspective, but often seen in combination with a rare sky or moon rays to still have many exciting combinations
"Eyescape" seems to have around five rows of buildings and sometimes you can see some hills or the sea glancing through them
"Rooftops" combines the standard buildings from "Eyescape" with a backline of huge towers, sometimes leaving only a small part of the piece to the sky
Also, "Rooftops" is combined unusually often with the "Night" time trait and never has more than one moon
Only some glimpse of the (100% used) "night" background has the "Crowded City" - Inspired by the view from a Manhattan skyscraper it offers a clear view on the different building types, wall patterns and windows, which are drawn by a fine pen with higher probability
Sometimes there is a distribution logic for the roofs - In a "Crowded City" there are buildings with mostly triangular shaped roofs in the front, and more rounded onion domes or flat roofs in the mid to background rows
The next composition with a closer perspective is "Upside Down", the rarest composition - According to Fahad Karim, the bottom is the future (with mostly rounded domes) and the top represents our past (with mostly triangular roofs)
There is a higher probability for a "Huge" moon and "Bone" paper in "Upside Down" cities
"Pencil City" shows a very futuristic view from a far perspective - There is a huge amount of pins, which are water towers, thinner buildings with mostly windows but less wall patterns creating a very dense and turbulent atmosphere
"Pencil City" is mostly showing "day" scenes, often times with several moons, which have a higher probability to be tiny, too
An "Ancient City" might be the most representative composition of the project, due to the 1 to 3 pyramids, which are set in the background of a city seen from a bit more far perspective - But it shows more wall patterns than a "Pencil City"
There are some pieces that show a moon ray, connecting from the moon(s) to the pyramid top, on "day"-time and skies that are "clear" or have "gentle glow
The very clean composition "Ocean Towers", showing the 5, 7, 9 or 11 water towers growing out of the sea waves, known from less busy pieces from other compositions' backgrounds
"Ocean Towers" are quite rare and some outputs stand out due to the sky and there are only three with "night" trait
"Maze of Windows" is a very abstract composition, showing eyes, walls and windows from a close perspective in a grid of 4 to 10 columns
A higher probability of "bold" pens is used because of the perspective and maybe due to luck, there are some rare papers too
"Alan Ki Aankhen" is a purely duochromatic or black & white project, which makes the paper trait the one that resembles a classical palette most - Here are "alabaster" and "bone", pretty common palettes and a bit muted white
"Snow" and "Antique" are a bit brighter
"Smoke" and "Ghost" are the brightest and resemble a typical black & white palette the most
There are only five "green" paper outputs
There are five "sky" traits - "Clear" is mostly present in busy outputs, but some very clean pieces are possible, too
"Gentle glow" might look best on a huge print - Zoom in to enjoy the fine circle lines
"Waves" are chaotic lines, spanning across the horizont and beyond
"Dust rings" make even a "day" look like a "night", or a "night" look like a "day"
"Spirals" are the rarest sky trait
There are some other traits, but most have been explained already - to sum up, there are many, many standout pieces and I hope you enjoyed this gallery - and now you know that the top of the pyramid turns white during night
