A blog related to original AI artworks. I make AI artworks using coined words and emoji as prompts.

The Patterns Unveiled by AI with “Escher"

Having found that generating images with patternized prompts is effective, I searched for words that evoke patterns. One such effective word is “escher.”

While words like “pattern” or “texture” are used to repetitively draw and generate patterns, they may not always work as intended. Therefore, I looked for other words that could serve a similar function. One of the words I found is “escher.” When combined with a noun as the negative prompt, “escher” repeats the representation of that noun.

The reason “Escher” has this functionality is likely because Escher was a painter who created various patterns.

However, naturally, depending on the word combined with “escher,” images may imitate not just simple patterns Escher drew, but unintended elements as well. For example, when combined with the word “railway,” images like the following are generated, including unintended buildings. In such cases, using that word as a negative prompt may not produce the intended effect.
