Alta Humanoid Petroglyph
There are a few humanoid figures in the north of Norway with spread arms and legs like the one above. A typical interpretation of this type of figure is that of a pregnant woman about to give birth, perhaps seen from above when lying on the ground. But there are several aspects of the figure…

Workshop and Melhus Petroglyphs
I held a workshop/seminar about interpreting rock art for first year archeology students at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. In the evening I joined the students and teachers on a field trip to Melhus to view petroglyphs after dark. There are several areas with recently found petroglyphs in Melhus in the…

Moelv Petroglyphs Part 6
Figure 14 The figure to the left (figure 14) i interpreted as a moose where the internal pattern is a snake with an open mouth inside the stomach of the moose. Why the original artists drew these internal patterns on deer figures is a bit of a mystery. That the artist’s intent was to represent…

More Midjourney AI Generated Art
I made a new signature for signing AI-work if I do of post-processing to it. Though it’s hard to draw the line at exactly when I feel like I’ve taken enough part in the image to be able to sign it. The new signature just adds an “i” after my normal signature, and I’ll use…

The Eye of Sahara
The Richat Structure, also known as the Eye of Sahara, is a unique geological formation situated in the Western Sahara desert in Mauritania. I came across it while idly exploring the world with EO Browser. Our planet looks both beautiful and surreal when looked at from a distance. Supposedly the structure was first thought to…

I’ve been taking a look at one of many striped mammal figures found at the site. The Figure…

Creatures Living Inside a Tree #4
The previous post on the film concept about creatures living inside a tree had concepts for some mushroom-creatures. I wanted to have some more environments, and generated concepts of the “heart of the tree” that the mushroom-creatures tries to attack. With this post I have now explored concept art design for the main characters, good-guy-creatures,…

Creatures Living Inside a Tree #3
More AI generated concepts for the film about creatures living inside a tree. The villains in the story will be mushroom-creatures invading the tree. These images were created using Midjourney. My other posts about AI generated designs for this concept: Creatures Living Inside a Tree #1Creatures Living Inside a Tree #2Creatures Living Inside a Tree…

Creatures Living Inside a Tree #2
I generated some concepts with Midjourney for how a hero and heroine might look in the experimental movie concept about creatures living inside a tree. The faces generated witht the current version of Midjourney often get a little twisted, and I used GFP-Gan on some of the images together with som post-production in Clip Studio…

Hell Petroglyphs
I went on another field trip to look for petroglyphs, and this time the trip went to Hell in Stjørdal. The place is actually named Hell, but it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the English meaning of the world hell. Hell means luck (hell og lykke) in modern Norwegian. Hell in Stjørdal probably…
