Ever feel like Machine Learning and AI generated work is a black magic art that requires immense strength of the mind to fully understand on a deep level? Me too. Today, as a result (and due to the conclusion of our studies of the preceding Major Arcana tarot cards, we're going to look at the concept of Strength.
Strength is a representation of a woman and a lion. It is one of the easiest images to understand throughout the Major Arcana of Tarot, we have a fragile woman with the opposite of fragility, a ferocious lion.
They're like a woman, her wine, and her cat; but far more intense. To quote from the Internet's tarot site, biddy tarot resources as:
the woman has tamed this wild beast with her calming, loving energy. The lion is a symbol of raw passions and desires, and in taming him, the woman shows that animal instinct and raw passion can be expressed in positive ways when inner strength and resilience are applied. She doesn’t use force or coercion; she channels her inner strength to subdue and subtly control the lion.
So with that said, I must tame the raw (not like a lion's raw) numbers of images that I generated as a part of this card. I am very guilty of making too many images for this one; because Lions are one of my favourite creatures of the animal kingdom.
There's a bit of stuff in these thumbnails, but in every case, I must look at them more closely.
I feel a really strong connection with this image. There's a bit of "deformity" when it comes to the lower limbs, and the hand; but those are things I'm willing to fight through if I was to select this one as the final image. I enjoy the fact that the Lion looms larger than life in the background, but I do not enjoy the fact that the hands need an enormous amount of work.
This image has a woman looking as though she's nurturing a concerned (or needy) Lion that could be her best friend and pet. Her left eye (on the right hand side of the frame) is a bit messy, but could probably be fixed with a run of GFPGAN.
Here we have an extremely peaceful and relaxed looking lady with some doting lions present. It is a coherent image, owing to the fact that hands are not represented; but I don't feel as though there is nearly enough courage represented in this particular image, it looks more like a family, as opposed to the taming of a wild creature.
This image is really pretty, and the bravado of the female character to have her hand in the Lion's mouth (though that's not exactly coherent) is pretty awesome. The Lioness looking on is also giving that look of a mother of a dwarf lion cub (who I wouldn't execpt to have a mane with the look of "you've failed me, son". I don't speak big cat, but this image is pretty good.
I'll definitely short list it, and see what comes of the other images.

Wow, I love this theme. They are all great. I would say the first one is maybe the most powerful, because as you write:
And still, the woman is so strong. Steadfast.
It certainly is a fun one to explore! :)
That lion in the first image transmits a lot of strength and more with the contrast of the white dress.
It certainly does!
It's a very beautiful picture with quite cinematic colors that make it seem like this picture is alive. Nice picture !
Thank you!
