There is no must in art because art is free.

The following tutorial exaplains how to generate computer art based on a series of predefined digital images. Our script will combinate all the digital images generating an specific image collection

We will use the following digital assets:

• 4 x backgrounds images
• 12 x bodies images
• 12 x faces images

Our script will generate 576 new images as a result of combinate 4 x 12 x 12 (backgrounds, bodies, and faces).

The script was successfully tested with:

• Python 3.8.5
• Pip 21.2.4
• Pillow 8.3.2

There is an images folder with 3 sub-folders

• /images/backgrounds
• /images/bodies
• /images/faces

Inside each sub-folder there is a few transparent png files named with 2-left pad zero strategy, for example: 01.png, 02.png, ..., 11.png

# importing the Pillow modulefromPILimportImage, ImageDraw, ImageFilter

# my primary source :DkBackgrounds=4kBodies=12kFaces=12

forindex_backgroundinrange(1, kBackgrounds+1): forindex_bodyinrange(1, kBodies+1): forindex_faceinrange(1, kFaces+1):

im1=Image.open(/path/to/index_background.png) im2=Image.open(/path/to/index_body.png) im3=Image.open(/path/to/index_face.png)

The magic happens because all the bodies and all the faces have the same canvas/size!

# paste body into backgroundim1.paste(im2, (540, 1970), mask=im2) # paste face into backgroundim1.paste(im3, (456, 370), mask=im3)

# save!im1.save(/path/to/new-image.png) # update status!print(/path/to/new-image.png, "was successfully created.")
