The Bestiary Chronicles is a new series of comics whose availability is completely free. It consists of three parts, and tells us the story of a human race on the verge of extinction, on a destroyed planet, and stalked by monsters. However, the most impressive of all is that it has been generated by an artificial intelligence.
Campfire Entertainment is the company behind this comic series. If you are familiar with this world, you have probably heard of them, and that is They have won several awards thanks to its strong focus on storytelling.
How have you created a series of comics with artificial intelligence? The answer is in Midjourney. Yes, that AI that generated the image that ended up taking the prize in an art contest. On this occasion, Campfire Entertainment has leaned heavily on her to bring to life The Bestiary Chroniclesand they have done so with much distinction.
Artificial intelligence becomes the right hand of artists
Midjourney’s handling of the images produced for The Bestiary Chronicles is awesome. Despite the tendency of AIs to deform bodies and faces, the comic series shows us clean images, with good composition, scale and proportion. For example we have the monsters, beings with shiny teeth that remind us of a cross between Godzilla and Vhagar.
On the other hand, artificial intelligence has managed to perfectly capture the dark and dystopian tone of the story. Thus, it offers us a very updated look at a comic that is reminiscent of the old science fiction works of the 60s and 70s.
Steve Coulson, writer of the trilogy and director of Campfire, believes that “We are seeing the emergence of a completely new visualization tool that will radically change the storytelling process both in the comic book industry and in entertainment in general“.
Thanks to this tool, both Coulson and his team developed The Bestiary Chronicle. This story is told in 114 pagesand shows us the odyssey of humanity facing monsters that are the product of their own technology.
A technology that grows exponentially
Furthermore, Steve Coulson believes that by next year even the keenest eye will not be able to easily discern the differences between art generated with an AI and more traditional methods. For this, he assures that “it is so exciting and terrifying at the same time. But you can’t put the genie back in the bottleso we’re embracing the future as fast as we can.”
Without a doubt, artificial intelligence is advancing faster and faster. Not only does it add new professions to your portfolio, but it also enhances the results you can already deliver in each of them. Until now, we have known AIs capable of composing songs, writing books and poems, creating visual art, generating videos, creating scripts, detecting diseases; Y It’s just the beginning of the revolution.
