Hi!
Today we’re here with a post that is a bit different. Usually we show you our work, which is mostly comics and short stories, but now we have prepared some modified content based on our previous work. Have you heard of deep dream? If you’ve ever seen deep dream art, you know that these images are odd, often messy or even eerie. Deep dream images are often described as hallucinogenic.
What is Deep Dream?
DeepDream is a program, using neural networking, that finds and enhances patterns in images creating dream-like scenes. Deep dream images are deliberately over-processed in order to highlight the enhanced patterns. Deep dream images can be made online using generators, such as deepdreamgenerator.com, which offers a special version of deep dream, called deep style, which helps in making less random and more stylized pictures.
Tales of Midgard Deep Dream Images
We took a few of our coverpages, wallpapers and favorite pages and made deep dream styled images from them. The deep dream styled images are somewhat smaller resolution than the original, that’s how deep dream generator works. You can see a regular deep dream image just below, while the deep style images are a bit further down.

Deep Dream Cover ~100 Iterations
Here we were still using the classical deep dream, however, what you see here is more than 100 iterations of deep dreaming.
Deep Dream Anne Illustration
This illustration of Anne was deep styled using a water surface image as a filter.

This image used to be on the Short Stories page, but as more stories were added we removed it. Now it’s available on the TWC profile of Tales of Midgard.

The same water surface image was used as a filter for this deep style image as on the short story illustration.
Original Book 1 Coverpage

This deep style was also made based on the illustration of Anne for the short stories, but this time a fire image was used as a filter.

Deep Dream Erik Wallpaper
The original Erik wallpaper was modified with Deep Style. We used metal plates and cogwheels on this image as a filter.

Fort this deep style we used tree leaves as the filter. It kinda ended up odd, but it’s cool.

This is the coverpage of the 10th chapter of Tales of Midgard: The Age of Magic.

Here we picked an image of a few nice clouds and used that as a filter for the book 2 coverpage.
