Using AI to Re-Create Iconic Album Art

Technology is getting scary! I love the evanescence goth girl with the blue eyes and dripping black. Awesome how it interpreted your description

[@RachelfGuitar]

I was super impressed by that one!

[@zaz4667]

SWEET! Learned something about AI today! I think this might be the start of Rachels album cover she designing for her eventual CD!

[@Mystic_music123]

What AI website was you using to do this please ??

[@AshutoshSingh-wg5km]

Hello Rachel. Did you have any difficulty in playing guitar while standing up during your initial years of learning? I've recently started to play the guitar(thanks to you and few others) but when I stand up and practice skills on guitar I find to hard to play. Its as if all strings become just one string. If you have made a video on it please direct me there. If not, any response is appreciated.

[@Nineathy]

Had a good laugh at the "multidimensional crosswalk" 😆. Loved this experiment!

[@ElectricArtist]

That's cool. If I want to draw and have no ideas this will be what I'll do.

[@spaceknave]

Wow, fascinating. I can't believe just based your description this kind of worked.

[@RachelfGuitar]

I was pretty blown away when I first tried this, it can make some crazy things!

[@pokepress]

If you decide to do this again, I have a few suggestions: -Any Weird Al Album cover -Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits -Elegantly Wasted by INXS -Pokémon 2000: The Power of One (pop soundtrack-album art is based on the movie poster)

[@WILCOgameplays]

Hey!! Thats awesome! Can you give us the link or tell us where we can use this program? thanks!

[@RachelfGuitar]

I'm running a version of this: github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion locally on my computer. There are lots of different ways to set it up, so I'd just suggest searching for Stable Diffusion and looking for guides/setup advice.

[@Odium13]

Hi, new subscriber here 🙂 Can you please create a content on how to install this Ai software in PC? Thanks 🙏

[@ezraanderson1190]

That first gorillaz render was scary accurate based on the prompt, but regardless of accuracy, the images you were able to generate using the ai were stunning. There were definitely some awesome and unique stuff that I could totally see on the cover of an actual album. Also, love the longer video! Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@RachelfGuitar]

That one was really surprising, I didn't think it would get that close! Thank you! :)

[@trentc7329]

That was a lot of fun. Don’t hesitate to post non-guitar stuff you’re interested in, cuz you’re interesting.

[@RachelfGuitar]

Thank you! Yeah I would like to experiment with posting some non-guitar focused stuff in the future, probably mostly at least loosely connected to music though :)

[@MetalGreggNY75]

Rachel, the Holy Diver album cover by Dio, the guy in the water part was created from a guy who was photographed wrapped in chains in cold water. If you listened to Rock DJ Eddie Trunk interview from the Rainbow Bar & Grill in LA celebrating Ronnie James Dio’s birthday which happened about a month ago. Eddie interviewed the guy who did a remix of the Holy Diver album for the 40th anniversary of the album. If you search for it you can find the whole interview.

[@314bloak]

Very entertaining video. I was a big Ritchie Blackmores rainbow fan. As well as deep purple. I had that rainbow rising album.

[@ravenshadowz2343]

That's not a man on the Black Sabbath cover, her name is Louisa Livingstone.

[@mylogify]

Hahaahaha, so fun video! But I wish you added some of your photos from your phone at the end to laugh 😂.Hahahaha nice :).

Could you please share the link to this site? I can't find it

[@RachelfGuitar]

This is the base repository: github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion, there are probably easier ways to install it now though if you look around! Will get easier over time.

[@yesitrotamundos2904]

This is awesome, I'm working on getting AUTOMATIC1111 version of diffusion working just to play around. It did occur to me that this could be a fun way to get tattoo ideas from your own descriptions😂

[@RachelfGuitar]

That's the version I'm now using as well! Super fun to play around with :)

[@yesitrotamundos2904]

@@RachelfGuitar I literally just got it going, had to troubleshoot a few things. Did a few Viking battle examples which turned out very interesting. Definitely going to play around with demons and hell examples after seeing your Iron Maiden cover😂

Meanwhile, the little mouse in the computer doing all the drawings is like 'uhhhh, why doesn't she just SAY she wants Holy Diver? I swear I need a raise.'

I need to make an album cover for Evil Queens. I should put my picture on Vic on Sfsgsw by Megadeth.

[@matthewhale9831]

You should try to do this with Buckethead album covers

[@gDrd-yg6om]

It'd be interesting to see how the A.I would generate artwork, using the lyrics of songs

[@RachelfGuitar]

Yeah that would be really cool too!

[@anonymousarsonist9653]

I need the link to this AI.

[@microsoftpain]

Might have to do something like this if I want to make an album cover, since I can't draw. 💀

[@RachelfGuitar]

This can definitely make some cool album covers! Excited to use it for that myself in the future.

[@oklego631]

Part 2 please

[@xplodingbeer]

lol, the Ghost album is a gothic cathedral, but I like the scooby doo haunted house add, very fun

[@RachelfGuitar]

Yeah that would have probably been more accurate, just went with what popped in my head first! The results were fun though :)

Your prompts are too short. It works best with hyper detailed prompts

[@markcooperartcomofficial]

The fact that you said what's in your intro means I could never trust anything you say.

[@tszim]

And then suddenly: "thrashy, palm muted riff in d on moderately distorted guitar using single notes and some power chords". I'm not entirely sure about art creating machines...

[@beardedrancher]

Ai is getting creepy as crap

[@PlouplePoupi]

👍🏼🍒

[@doctoribanez]

Ai is going to put a lot of artists out of work

[@RachelfGuitar]

I'm hoping it will more evolve the way artists work and make it easier for artists to do what they do, but hard to say how it will fully play out

[@ArtOfShredYT]

Definitely starting a band called MILNSKEFLKESI

[@RachelfGuitar]

An unforgettable name 😄

[@TheAusherGuy]

You should try you with the ai.

[@treeforged9097]

I'm glad you had fun with this but honestly this kind of stuff just depresses me. I feel like AI is just slowly going to make anything human beings do totally meaningless. I guess ultimately everything is meaningless even without AI, but it just makes it more clear we are obsolete. But then maybe I'm just depressed. Your videos though give me a few minutes break from the depression though.

[@jetswade_rapbot]

Everything ai can do humans can or will be able to do better don't be depressed 👍

[@RachelfGuitar]

I definitely understand that perspective, it is a bit scary! But I'm hopeful we'll be able to work with AI rather than it replacing us. For example, already I've seen some artists working with this to quickly generate concepts that they then perfect on their own in their own style. It's just enabling them to work faster than they were before! I'm hoping we'll see more things like that :)

[@corm1000]

It depresses me too, because I am a painter and it literally just generated in a few seconds what would take me hours to create.

@@meanjon13_illusions It''s all over the net. Do I need to search google and youtube for you? Just youtube let's say "Metallica plagiarism" Honestly friend you'd be in shocked about where come from many of his riffs and licks. See you weren't born in the 80s obviously but back then Metalheads we were stubborn and stick to Metal only(most of us). Bands knew it,,so these guys for being composers and in a bands listen to more and knew we would never find out that this riff was taken from Alabama,this one from,,,ect.

Then go listen to Saxon-Princess Of The Night- There is a big part note for note,melody to melody in that only a deaf would miss. Btw back in 1983 to know bands like Saxon you had to dig and import albums most didn't. Lars knew,,,and Saxon was his band so they borrowed,,,knowning fans will never noticed unti,,,internet! James is no Metalhead despite being a great Rhythm he is a Southern Rock fan and sure knew Metaheads of the 80s don't listen to Southern Rock. He did steal a lot of parts note for note. Dude I have a question here, you really listen to music? because you know/hear it when it happened.
