Love at the Brothel (Machine Learning)

It's been a while since I wanted to try machine learning.
After several tests to see how it worked, I tried to produce an image as if I had done it in a traditional way (drawing, modeling, rendering, paintover) but this time I would start from a machine learning algorithm.

To do this, I used the AttnGAN image synthesis algorithm that transforms text into an image.
I really like Baudelaire's poem "Voyage" because it prefigures as early as 1859 an idea of ​​the cinema:
"To pass over our minds, stretched like a canvas,
Your memories with their frames of horizons. "

So I used these verse to generate an image.
Since this sketch, I reworked the masses, the contrasts and the colorimetry by paintover as if I had done it normally from a rough drawing.

The image that results from this work is entitled "Love to the brothel". Do not ask me why. Another algorithm could very well have found this title. :)
For me, it evokes the surrealists, Degas, Baudelaire and ... the cinema.
