TRANSFORMATION OF THE MYSTIC

This is a edited version, published separately, from a creation on Dreamshaper XL Lightning.

In editing, I cropped the bottom, then played with contrast and jacked up the color saturation, adjusted the brightness and eventually flipped the image. I wanted it distinctly different from those I created before.

The basic prompt was one I shared with my friend @IAmWhoIWasNot , the one who actually originated the 'ayahuasca' part, to which I then added the 'funny bone extract'.

The seed image is a manipulated selfie photo I took the other day, where I made extreme corrections, turning it b/w and strong contrast, with highlights emphasized.

...... and then I wondered how it would transform with AI. I published a few, but by far not all.

I took this over to Deep Dream and Upscaled it there: https://deepdreamgenerator.com/ddream/z1d4cn3hj7z ↗️ - while it cost a ton of points, they regenerate within a day. So basically, it cost me nothing.
