How I used Dall-e to bring pixel art to life. #dalle #aiart #aigeneratedart

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized the creative world, and one of the most exciting advancements is DALL-E 2. For those who may not be familiar, DALL-E 2 is a cutting-edge AI system capable of generating realistic images and art from textual descriptions in natural language. Imagine the possibility of seeing Eric Cartman as a real boy, Darth Vader jamming with Metallica, or even an avocado monster with sharp teeth attacking a city in the style of a highly detailed Renaissance painting. The capabilities are practically limitless.

Within the first day of gaining access to DALL-E 2, I delved into creating cute animations. For example, I made a charming animation of a girl dancing in a pink dress and another featuring a character that looks suspiciously like Mario—apologies to Nintendo. I even created a robot busting some moves and the animation featured at the beginning of this article, which I'll discuss later.

You might be wondering how DALL-E, which typically generates static images, can be used to create animations. The secret lies in some creative stacking. By taking the original images generated by DALL-E and layering them in Photoshop, I was able to create the animations you see here. Doubling up the frames resulted in smoother animations.

Take for instance the spinner animation I created—welcome back to Daisy, our model for today. If you're new to my channel, I highly recommend checking out some of my other animated spinners. This is, after all, my specialty.

Using DALL-E in this way not only brought pixel art to life but also opened up a vast array of possibilities for both static and dynamic digital art.
