 More AI Art Generator stuff this time from DREAM by Wombo

AI tying to draw Dredd and  Anderson Bolland style .. has a problem doing his helmet maybe it's a copyright thing

 

A few Wren & Fett's

All I do is write a  few words  and wollop it exists -!

Average Sized Vader

Shorty Stormtrooper

"

"Go On My Son!"

Instant McQuarrie ! a few wrong Dredd's 

Done millions of these  as you can imagine 

Beautiful Tina.

Meant to be Emma Peel but still kinda cool... far more on the other blog

;

Instant Syd Mead!

Wish I had this thing back in 1980 but I guess I wouldn't bother to learn to draw ..Right now though It takes me about a week to colour four pages -sometimes it's a struggle sometimes it's a real joy   producing an image  yourself is a  cathartic experience  -I doubt the AI will ever have that.. but still these are dope images but I'll never give up been a humanoid art generator.

Two RamoneTroopers according to Dream.AI

The Next post is a product of hard work sweat and toil -but jt's all worth it.

A.I Oh-Aye

 

Some AI Generated images from Craiyon Art Generator  my firsr attempts at AI Art although it hasn't matched humans just yet but it comes up with 9 images from the sentence you type in a search box -in this case Boba Fett playing a sitar  not sutr this one appeared on facebook but thought I'd get random and have Trump attackred by a Duck Billed Platypus and the AI abided

Maybe it's a Pepe Le Pew type situation lol- It's also a Bogart Generator

A few Dredd failures

 

Judge Muppet .. but at least the A.I kinda knows a little about Joe -Rogue Trooper didn't work but I typed Slaine and it got it wrong but knew it had a sword and sorcercy legendary setting and one Slaine was good

This was meant to  be Hammerstein -mind you it's great for designig big robots

Picture that came from a friends suggestion I've done my own version prior  he prefers that one  to AI  I'll post that at a later date  -The Death Earth

Right now I'll use this as a glorified etch a sketch-  but I hope the pic above  isn't the result of an AI World 

When you're a kid designing Stormtroopers and Mandos in a excercise book was one activity to survive the bleak  early 80's  so I see this as a great sophisticated  tool for that apparently this is what a Ramonetrooper looks like

More Troopers and Mandos

Lord Fett

Pink Panthertrooper

 Would make a most  excellent Jaster Mereel design.

Done Billions of these .. better stop more will follow no doubt.. has no idea about Slave 1 though,

Jimbo

Nice pic of Debbie to finnish here .. 

The Return of One Eyed Jack

 

The Return Of Jack McBane - John Wagner and John Cooper proving you can pack a hell of alot into 3 pages -coloured this back in 2021.. posted this on Hipsville365ad blog but seeing as this my main personal blog now plus  he's starring in  a new Dredd story in the Megazine thought I'd dig these up again .. this story originally appeared in a comic before even my time  called Valient .I first eyeballed   Jack when I was about 4 in Battle Action Picture Weekly by then he was a secret agent rather than a Dirty Harry type street cop -which I think suited him better reading his early stories in Eagle and then the collection years later from Treasurey of British Comics-there is Dredd connection in the latest Megazine story looking forward to seeing how that story concludes.- written by Ken Niemand

 I was trying to create an old movie poster look with this -I would do a better version of this now in 2023

Currently working on Anderson PSI Division, Episode 9 of  Charleys War , Star Wars both Newspaper  strip by Al Williamson and Walt Simonsons Ressurection of Evil, a  early Emma Peel era  Avengers story drawn by John Stokes circa 1965  plus another Battle story called Coolies Gun -here's a liitle preview of that  art by another British comic legend Geof Campion

 

 Busy Busy Busy !.. but need to divide time between this and caring for my Mum so that's why I've been a bit slower lately -I wanted to go  to the next Comic Convention in Enniskillen but that looks unlikely now  because of my duties as a carer  I can't really getaway right now which is a drag -I'll just keep banging out  some coloured pages for the time being.

    

Mandomath

 Season 3 -A change of pace from Seasons One and Two  Reminded me of Samarui epics like  The Water Margin and Kurosawa but with Jetpacks  so it's fine by me although Seasons One and Two still the best.

It's awesome that everybody was speculating about The Spies  but you're bought down to Mandolore by the end ... maybe the other spy was R5D4

Now thats what I talkin' about 2002 in forums I'd get banned from lol Hope to see more of this on grander scale Ran style with Sun Guard and Royal Guards -everything goes back to Kurosaws -check his storyboards George in Hondo

 

Gonna miss Mando and Grogru it'll be a few years unless he pops up in Skeleton Crew or Ashoka or perhaps theres a video game inbetween -Dyn hunting down Imperial High command Karl Fairburne style on different planets would be welcome But the Return of the Poncho will ease the wait till August.

Mando Eve

 

So wheres Fenn Rau? my season  finale theory features him and Sabine Wren  7th Cavalarly style rescue  from The New Republic and Fenns Mandalorian Protectors fleet  for Dyn and Grogro-but the Armorer been a spy? I hope not but if it drives the story forward I can live with that ..but the way she laid out those Stormtroopers in season 1 finale it'll be hard truth to swallow The Mythosaur will be friendly and intellegent and has Gideon's number  I reckon he's lizard food  similar to Trump been attacked by Bald Eagle lol 

 

 

"One Does not Speak Unless One Knows" You can't get more Clint /Samurai than that ) R.I.P Paz Viszla the John Miluis of The Children of the Watch (the perfect name for a mid sixties garage band lol) Beyond Mando.... This Rocked my world last week! David Tennant Yay! We need Tom Baker again The Return of The Bendu!maybe season 3 We're bound to see Rebels crew in Andor too or at least a cameo -when Mon splits to Dantooine and the Rebel Alliance is born but we gotta wait for that. But most excited for Ashoka -as it makes perfect sense - Skeleton Crews a mystery though right now -I reckon We'll see Captain Hondo in that -could Jude Law be playing Max Von Sydows character Lor San Tekka from The Force Awakens ? just a thought..It sounds like Stand by Me or The Goonies but in space I wonder if Bill Burr will re-appear in that show or something else.

Season 3 has felt different I think much of that is down to  soundtrack -I guess Ludvig would be busy on other shows or projects...but he's come up with total classics lately

 

One Offs 2

 Art Gene Day

 Something I coloured back in January -looking forward to the new Indy movie ,, hopefully all the doomsayers have spoken  all wrong...looks very 1969

More Harrison this time as Rick Deckard started these last autumn -whilst colouring Al Williamsons Star Wars strips thought I'd give ol Blade Runner a whirl -these are far from complete but if I get get the sudden urge to return to these I will.

"Let me Tell You about my Mother" lol Been reading Action History of a Violent Comic tonnes of reprints from Action including Death Game 1999 which evolved into Spinball then Spinball Slaves untill Action merged with Battle and then it became Spinball Wars .. these Brian Bolland pages are from late 70's Action annual thought I'd have a go at these -it's very Rollerballesqe

May try out first episode of Harlem Heroes which is set in the 2050's Judge Forgo's era Jet Packs Ahoy! 

Thought I'd leap ahead to first WW2 era  Charleys War story as an experiment  enjoyed Joes art on the BEF stories but one can only wonder how Pat would of written if he was given the chance to research WW2

.

I'll return to WW1 era Charley -as these scans aint great but they are on the earlier re-scanned stories

But by far the best illustrated comic about the Blitzkrieg and Dunkirk -even if story  lacked Pat's impact! By the time Charley concluded Battle had lost it's edge(the other stories got really silly ) and I was more into 2000ad and music ,,
