Maneki Neko: The Gardens of Atlantis - Terrace

The fabled Atlantis was a utopia of splendor and beauty, lost to posterity as it sank beneath the sea. Some stories say that Atlantis flourished underwater, and that there is a thriving civilization, still. We can tour the courtyards of the city through our imagination and wonder if they are tended by the citizens of Atlantis or by a lonely octopus gardener.

This piece is a 1/1 edition carefully created by Maneki Neko. It began as a text-to-image collaboration with AIs called ruDalle and Disco Diffusion to generate many graphic variations on a concept. The best of these images were then curated and collaged and the result used to initiate more iterations in Disco Diffusion for a refined style. It was finished with some collage, color and fine detail editing in Photoshop to create a piece with a coherent color scheme, expression of a theme, and packed full of intricate detail.
