A Study on the Utilization of Deep Learning-Based Image Generators for Nail Art Design Creation: Focusing on the Colors and Patterns of Fish Scales

Abstract

This study aimed to develop nail art designs inspired by the colors and patterns of fish scales. Various images of fish were collected, and the colors, patterns, and textures of their scales were analyzed. Using deep learning-based image generator, designs replicating the colors and patterns of fish scales were created. Based on these designs, five nail art works were produced. The colors and patterns of fish scales are suitable for creative nail art designs, and designs inspired by fish scales demonstrate excellent visual effects due to the appropriate application of principles of form and expression techniques. Moreover, nail art designs inspired by fish scales can enhance the artistry and distinctiveness of nail art. This research highlights the potential of using fish scale colors and patterns in nail art design and represents a novel approach to using deep learning-based image generators as creative tools in nail art design. However, the nail art works produced in this study were limited and reliant on subjective evaluations. Future research should apply diverse evaluation methods to measure the quality and satisfaction of nail art designs and expand the study to include nail art designs using other natural materials besides fish scales.
