This has gone through many iterations since I posted a work in progress 4 months ago. This is mixed media, PhotoShop paint on top of a photo of a locomotive from WikiCommons and the result ran through the Deep Dream Generator before additional PhotoShop painting and image manipulation on top of the resulting image.
For reference here is the 4 month old version that I originally posted:
I spent a little while PhotoShop painting on top of a higher res version of the above to fill in the blank spots, but ended up scrapping that for a different technique. I painted on the original image of the train to add details like smoke turning into the Steem logo shapes, and I painted over landscape background as well to give the AI more to sink its teeth into. Here is the image I fed into the neural network:
Here is the style image I used (this is not my own and is shown here as fair use in reporting my process - the neural network applies the style of this image to the base image I uploaded, but does not actually copy the image:
Here is the raw output from the Deep Dream Generator before the final stages of PhotoShop editing:
