Let's show 2 unicorns, inspired by what we know from gables or blazons, like here:
The code below basically does two things:
- combine two previous drawings I posted here as
tikz pics
- shift the two
\pics against each other via the "constant" \newcommand\shft[0]{1}
Relevant code section:
\tikz{
\pic at (-\shft,0) {beauty};
\pic [xscale=-1] at (+\shft,0) {uni};
}
For shft=1, this is the result:
But it's also fun to see what happens for 0, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 and 5. Wrt. AI they can be generated easily, but not all will be appreciated as nice, esthtic or beautiful. Some may appear disturbing, or like taken from a test from psychology. The last one even qualifies for "telling a story by one picture". Or in techno-speak: shft introduces a lot of noise for us humans.
