Chad Nelson has been using DALL·E to create highly detailed creatures—and he’s made greater than 100 of them.
“I had a vision for a solid of charming woodland critters, each oozing with personality and emotional nuance,” Nelson said. His characters range from “a red furry monster looks in wonder at a burning candle” to “a striped hairy monster shakes its hips dancing underneath a disco ball,” each crafted to capture probably the most human thing of all: feelings.
“DALL·E is probably the most advanced paint brush I’ve ever used,” Nelson says. “As mind-blowing and amazing as DALL·E is, just like the paint brush, it too should be guided by the artist. It still needs that creative spark, that lightbulb within the mind to innovate—to create that something from nothing.”
