Image by Mark Turner AI Art & Stories

Creating AI art has its challenges. Using only two or three free web programs, my options can be somewhat limited, but that hasn't prevented me from achieving amazing results. I found that using Photoshop and regenerating parts that sometimes need improvement has resulted in stunning looks. This all began as a way to assist with a book I wrote but was unable to get published. While the self-publishing route is fine, one needs a significant amount of cash to promote their work, just to be seen on a platform like Amazon. In the meantime, I generated, photoshopped, and reworked over a hundred images for my book using Dream by Wombo—a labor of love that taught me much about getting the desired results from generative AI.

I started my Facebook page as a means to generate some buzz, advertise, and at least have a small platform to showcase my work. I thought the easiest and most entertaining way was to create a type of Late Night Movie Show meets PG Playboy. It has gathered a modest following, and with some more advertising, perhaps I can elevate it to the level of some other AI social media sites. Again, nothing is seen on social media without a fresh injection of cash.

What I have presented here is a recent collection of works that were all reworked. The faces were originally horrible, or the eyes were hollow and dead. I wanted to bring them more to life, and with about an hour's worth of work or more on each, I created these.
