AI Art Notes for July 2024

Midjourney loves evil clowns.  A day doesn't go by without a new batch of these nightmare creatures appearing with menacing grins spread across the pixels of their faces.  Look at the loving detail.

The program also loves robots.

King Kong is a fun subject on Midjourney.

These 1920s ghost encounters have a Blair Witch vibe.







Mona Lisa tries something by vkuoo


Yellow Medusa turns Star Wars into a 1960s spaghetti western.


Alternate Reality Media created a Muppets version of The Shining.


The is 1950's Super Panavision Powerpuff Girls movie is from The AI Kingdom. 


Anton Chigurh, the psychopathic killer who serves as the protagonist of No Country for Old Men (2007), is occasionally used as a subject by Midjourney subscribers.

I have seen No Country for Old Men three or four times in the last seventeen years.  Each time that I see the film, I find myself less impressed than the time before.  Apart from his weird haircut and weirder ideas about a cold and merciless fate, Chigurh is an unstoppable killing machine no different than The Terminator or Jason Voorhees.  I'm surprised that they haven't made a Jason vs. Anton Chigurh film.  I can easily imagine what that film would look like.




This month, I didn't get very far with many of my AI art projects.  I figured that it would be funny to rework The Good, The Bad and The Ugly as a Three Stooges comedy, but Midjourney comes nowhere near to capturing the comic perfect likeness of Moe, Larry and Curly.  

















I used a face swap program to create this image. 



I worked hard to create a Final Destination trailer in the style of a 1920s Mack Sennett comedy.  


The Sennett comedies were as violent and surreal as the Final Destination films.


My efforts did no go as smoothly as I hoped they would, but I thought that the trailer was worth posting anyway.  You can find the trailer here

I came away with a few spare images.     





These next images are meant to look like scenes from a Final Destination film.  





I had the idea of creating an Austin Powers spy spoof in the style of a 1920s silent film.  I didn't get the results that I hoped to get, but I really like these alternate universe interpretations of the character. 


Midjourney has gotten good at creating images from references photos.  I liked this photo of actress Emilia Clarke and race car driver Charles Leclerc.  


Here is what Midjourney did with that photo. 






I saw this old red carpet photo of Mary Elizabeth Winstead on Twitter.  


I directly fed it into the AI program and was able to produce portraits of Ms. Winstead in many different styles.























I asked Midjourney to recreate the truck scene from The Sorcerer (1977).


This is what it turned out.  Not bad.



This is a couple of Gene Tierney portraits that the program produced for me.



I got several nice images from a portrait of Rosemary Forsyth.


Here they are.













My favorite picture of myself was taken when I was four years old.  In the picture, I am clutching a big, overly furry tabby cat in my arms and look like the happiest little boy on the planet.  So, of course, I was pleased to see these images produced by prosterozwiazanie. 









Have a nice day.
