Fixing AI. The Photoshoped Reworked AI art of Mark Turner

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.

The Vampire Witch of Crimson Castle




Under the argent glow of a full moon, the air around Castle Crimson stirred with an unsettling energy. Within the ancient walls, the Vampire Witch, a beautiful and bewitching redhead, traced cryptic symbols in the air. Her slender fingers, adorned with ebony claws, moved gracefully as she chanted an incantation dripping with malevolence.

As the clock struck midnight, the spell took hold. A sinister mist unfurled from the castle's depths, seeping into the surrounding woods. Shadows danced eerily, whispering secrets of impending doom. Creatures of the night, once allies to the witch, now cowered in the face of her newfound power.
The moon, witness to the unfolding malevolence, painted the sky in hues of blood red. Within the castle, the air thickened with an otherworldly presence, and the very stones seemed to groan in agony. Unseen forces twisted and warped the fabric of reality.




From the cursed heart of Castle Crimson, tendrils of darkness slithered across the land. Trees withered, and flowers wilted in their wake. The once-silent night was shattered by ghastly howls and the anguished cries of creatures caught in the web of the vampire witch's enchantment.

As the malevolent energy spread, the denizens of the castle, now transformed into grotesque manifestations of their former selves, lurched forward with an insatiable hunger. No longer the charming companions they once were, they roamed the moonlit landscape, leaving a trail of horror in their wake.

The beautiful vampire witch, her eyes gleaming with triumph, surveyed the chaos she had wrought. The night, once serene, now echoed with the tormented cries of the land she had ensnared. The full moon bore witness to the wicked ballet she had choreographed, casting its cold light upon the Castle Crimson, now draped in an aura of everlasting malevolence.
