Hi rosada.Do I understand correctly that you are doing the art work on these cards? Beautiful.
I was subscribed to WikiWing for some time (quite some time ago) but I rarely used/contributed to it, so I canceled it.It would be cool if you would post these on WikiWing.
Thanks for the suggestion! I surely will have a look at it to seek for suggestions on how to visually represent each hexagram!Have you explored The Memorizing The I Ching thread? There is a card for each hexagram posted there. I think it’s fascinating to compare decks.
You'd never use a method whereby you could generate change lines ? Is that what you mean?I thought that, maybe, I should get rid of the lines that would allow casting hexagrams. I know, personally, would never used them. And if I won't use for myself, why should others use them?
When I consult Yi I'm not thinking 'this is oriental'. I don't see if a person was asking with cards why they'd have to be oriental in design.I wonder if I should try to move away from the typical oriental style and try something different. I can't find any style that seems to fit better with the I Ching ...
So you mean you haven't drawn these images they are taken from some kind of computer graphics programme? (no idea what 'midjourney' is) In which case I feel freer to tell you I find them very reminiscent of Japanese cartoon anime characters. Maybe it would be better if you did draw your own? It would be more unique, possibly even more relatable, something you have made yourself.Yes, I am creating the images using Midjourney, one of the rumored AI that can generate images.
The challenge is to drive it to produce meaningful images with a consistent style across all the 64 cards.
I also use GIMP (for retouching the images, eliminating unwanted elements and adding missing details), and Inkscape (to add the text and other graphical elements).
It's not like drawing the images myself but they are generated according my intentions. More or less like if I had a good friend drawing the images I want.
Thanks Liselle,If you join Change Circle , Hilary has given us a special Media Gallery which is specifically made for things like this! It has a section for each hexagram, just perfect.
They could be, or not. It can be any image, original or found somewhere, photographs, artwork, screenshots.... You can even post videos - it's a media gallery, not only for pictures. Any media that you think illustrates a hexagram, line, or a particular aspect of one.Are those images created specifically for the hexagrams?
Thanks, rosada, I think it's a nice one to use and I'll try to come up with something along those lines.[the] image of a ship’s captain defiantly standing at the helm
Wait what, AI can create images??!Here is another example. I wonder if I should try to move away from the typical oriental style and try something different. I can't find any style that seems to fit better with the I Ching ...

Yes, and it's getting better and better at it.Wait what, AI can create images??!
