Maneki Neko: Floating Is a Skill

"Okay, don’t worry, we’ll all float on.
Even if things get heavy, we’ll all float on.
Alright, already, we’ll all float on.
Now don’t you worry, we’ll all float on.
We’ll all float on.
All float on."

• Modest Mouse, "Float On"

This piece is a 1/1 by Maneki Neko. It was created in several stages starting with a blend in Midjourney of two other pieces, one created with ruDalle and one Midjourney. The blend was then remixed in a series of chained variations and experimentation with different prompt terms to refine the concept. Two of these results were curated and then collaged and edited in Photoshop for color and details. Finally, the result was upscaled in Topaz Gigapixel to 8k resolution.
