Notes about this project:

This is a multifaceted project that evolved from a series of thoughts I've been jotting down for nearly a year. What began as a study in currency design transformed into something much more expansive through the use of various visual AI design tools and language models.

To bring this vision to life, I started with pencil and paper sketches, which I then processed through Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 3, and Adobe Photoshop. As I delved deeper into visual prompting, Hypernetworks, Checkpoints, and LoRAs, I was able to create a consistent look and feel for the life images of each species, as well as for the currency belonging to each species.

The project's scope expanded beyond its initial focus, incorporating AI-generated text to complement the visual elements. This combination of traditional sketching techniques and cutting-edge AI tools allowed me to transform my scattered notes into a cohesive and visually striking exploration of imaginary species and their associated currencies.

Enjoy!
