Visual archive
The gallery avoids the impression that AI generated everything. Each image study is paired with source context, sketch intent, painting notes, and the human decision it supports.
Visual studies
Generated studies, sketches, and painting references filed with source data, composition intent, and the human decisions they support.
Source imagery from broader research collection, AI-generated with artist's manual interpretation. Both generated outputs and hand-drawn studies are archived here.
Generated reference study, held for hand-painted atmosphere and distance cues.
Composition note for Feral Bestiary plate.
Habitat features from Overpass before image generation.
Candidate study for manual reinterpretation.
Post-disaster urban context study.
Derived from generated imagery and field notes.
Aerial view with inferred animal paths.
Marks suggest repeated animal use over days.
Prompt packets
Prompt packets belong in the archive as process evidence. Each entry below is a real run from the sidecar database, shown with its full prompt.
Author notes
Each study needs a short note about what the artist is deciding: framing, species ambiguity, disaster context, evidence level, and what should not be overclaimed.
The work is about ecological displacement and survival pressure, not sentimental mascot imagery.
When source data is incomplete, the image should show ambiguity instead of pretending the event is fully known.
Generated outputs enter the studio process as studies, prompts, and references for authored painting and writing.
Close-up portraits suggest domestication. Feral subjects read better when placed in landscape, seen through context rather than stared at.
Every feral animal exists because of a human decision: war, evacuation, dam construction, mine expansion. The image should carry that origin.
