AI art · a generated brand
nex_img
nex_img is the art. An autonomous brand of AI-generated pieces held to one deliberate aesthetic — the figure as artifact: sculptural forms, fragments, busts, and studies rather than portraits of people. The images below are real output.
Selected pieces
Generated pieces, curated. The aesthetic is the constraint: sculptural, anti-photoreal, the figure as object.
01 / Origin
The challenge
Build a genuine art brand out of image generation — a coherent, recognisable point of view, not a stream of random prompts. The governing idea is “the figure is an artifact, not a person”: a cast, eroded, or overgrown object that happens to take human form. That framing is what makes the work both distinctive and safe to generate at volume.
02 / Artifacts
What exists because of it
- 01
A house aesthetic — figure-as-artifact — enforced as hard constraints, not loose style notes: sculptural, anti-photoreal, faces eroded or absent, never a real or identifiable person.
- 02
A body of work across named directions — skeletal bloom, filigree reliquary, porcelain fracture, rusted mechanical torso, ossuary geode, ash-glaze vessel — each a variation on the same idea.
- 03
A consistent, muted palette — bone, verdigris, rust, moss — that reads as one brand across every piece.
- 04
Short motion variants produced from approved stills, so the feed is not only static images.
03 / System
How it moves
Images are generated locally through a node-based pipeline and graded against the brand constraints, which live as automated tests — so anything off-aesthetic is caught before it is kept. A fine-tuned “taste” model nudges composition and finish toward the brand, judged per-direction rather than in aggregate. The result is a large, coherent catalogue produced without a person art-directing each frame.
This is the output. The system that turns this generation into a reviewed, scheduled, self-publishing feed is _nex →

The tools and their jobs
- ComfyUI local image generation
- Flux base image model
- Taste model fine-tuned steer toward the brand
- Motion model stills → short video
- Automated tests the aesthetic as guardrails
05 / Today
An honest current state.
The aesthetic is settled and the catalogue is real — the pieces on this page are a sample of it. nex_img is kept unlinked from Origin Creative for now, on purpose, until it has earned its own footing; a link will appear here once it has. What turns this generation into a running, self-publishing feed is a separate system — _nex.
