I made meta AI crystalize my idea of a “grape dragon” I wanted to create. He is visiting my alternate universe where there is the gardens by the bay as well. I commanded meta AI to create for me this creature in various colours and asked it to modify the image to make it “cuter” and to face a certain direction.

The background was inspired from a photo of the gardens by the bay from a hotel room on instagram.

I really like how cute my version of the grape dragon looked like in the end and I feel like the time I spent on it was really worth it.

The most difficult part on this piece was painting the crystals on the grape dragon’s head and the details of the face on the dragon.
