A 40-foot mecha dances to Slavic-inspired folk music in this music video from the Hunter Healer King trilogy. The Armor of Arent has been waiting for a worthy pilot. Now it has one. 🎬 Created with AI tools (Midjourney + Suno) 📚 From the gaslamp fantasy series by Mel Dunay! The Hunter Healer King trilogy combines steampunk monster hunting with slow-burn romance. For fans of Patricia Briggs and Lindsay Buroker.
To me, AI is a flawed but interesting tool, brought to us by the same flawed (and often corrupt) people who brought us the rest of the modern conveniences we live with. Other people have other opinions about it, and out of respect for them, I try to be transparent about my use of AI.
I do not use AI for first draft writing, for final pass editing, or for high-level concept and character background work. I have found ai chatbots (mostly Claude.ai) helpful for tasks like:
I’m kind of proud of the fact that it only took me about three hours to do this in the free editing software Kdenlive. What actually took longer was generating the different source clips in Midjourney one weekend in September when the end of the Midjourney billing period was approaching, and the words weren’t coming on Hunter Healer King 3. I’ve told the story behind the song before: I went to Claude asking it for a Suno prompt for a certain kind of music, and then I went and pasted the prompt into the lyrics area in Suno instead of the prompt area. I ended up liking it better than the songs I got with Suno prompting “properly” for what I wanted. (I believe I already had at least some of the footage, and felt like this song had a good tempo or rhythm that worked with the clips.) Anyway, silly little car chase with a fantasy premise that excuses some of Midjourney’s weirder tendencies. Never forget: we live in an age of wonders. Horrors, too, but we can’t forget the wonders.
