heart-shaped love tree, AI generated artwork

Today I really wanted to make a love tree using Midjourney AI text-to-image discord bot. I entered quite a few keywords but didn’t get a heart-shaped tree. It’s only until I added “heart contour shaped tree” that I start getting those, well, heart-shaped trees.

I got some really incredibly generated AI artistic images. I also added keywords like punk red leaves (did lives by mistake), fantasy,hyper-realistic, romantic dreamy background, lush background and so on.

Even with the typos, I got one result that I really liked but I heavily edited it in Adobe Photoshop.

Here is the original image that I got before editing.

This image, although some may light it better, has gone through some major changes. I edited the color balance for each part of the scene, like the sky, the ground, and the midsection. I lighten up the image and used Stylized/Diffused/Lighten Only to make the details more interesting and more detailed considering the relatively low-res slightly blurry output. I enlarge the image using the AI enlargement in Photoshop as well. I added a bit of yellow tint to make it more afternoon-like light.

The result is the first image and I am quite happy with the results. You can also see that there are a few small heart-shaped branches in the middle of the tree, super cute.

I liked this image overall, but this one really needed a boost in Photoshop to get what I want. Maybe with a few more lighting-related keywords, I would have gotten what I want. But thing is, sometimes you get a really nice overall shape of the tree that you really like that you don’t want to give it up.
