Pipeline? I'm not quite sure what you're asking but if you're referring to my workflow for this particular piece; I took an image of a skull and edited it multiple times using blurs, repeating patterns, color dispersions, and lots of difference layers. A lot of the editing was down in OneLab, touch-ups & overlaps were down in Snapseed, and anything I couldn't do on those two, I did in Affinity Photo. Specifically stuff like custom layers and selections.
I am vehemently against AI and no this is not AI. This is photo editing done using Onelab, Snapseed, & Affinity Photo.
That being said, I don't fault you for confusing this for AI. It wouldn't be the first time a glitch "artist" used my art in their AI models.
For this piece I used color dispersions to separate and blur our the green/red/blue channels for a light blur effect. Then I used another layer to divide against it to sharpen the channels for the pattern. I also messed with the hues, used fractals for added patterns, and more difference layers.
For this picture, there were a alot of channel multipliers, difference layers, color gradients, and wave flows. The channel multipliers and difference layers where for the figure itself to achieve the unique lighting on her. Color gradients and wave flows for the background. Then change the color palette globally so the figure matches the background colors more.
For this particular piece, I used ghosting merge, post-impression, pixel sorting, and a lot of recoloring on GlitchLab. Then I did a lot of dodging and burns on Snapseed to add the highlights and shadows. Especially around the eyes. Sometimes I overemphasize the shading on the eyes because it's the central part in alot of my pieces.
Pixel Sorting & Difference layers for added texture. There's also a fractal layer of the image difference layered on top for the circle pattern you see and was based on the pixel sorting image, creating the blend between the lines.
