Grandiose Friday

I think you’ve seen this picture before. It was taken at Norsk Høstfest in Minot several years back, when they did a promotion deal with the History Channel, and brought in some costumed models to sully our camp’s authenticity with base sex appeal.

I didn’t really mind.

Today I checked out the new AI function of Duck Duck Go, my favorite search engine. I found a utility for enhancing photos, and so I plugged that photo in and asked for the style of Frank Frazetta. Here’s the result:

Say what you will about me — that I’m old, and poor, and alone, and obscure, and ugly, and… well, there’s no dearth of material.

But I’ve had some great photos taken over the years, and some of them clean up pretty good.

Have a good weekend.

  1. As a Frazetta image, the AI one isn’t murky enough. He got to where he really knew how to cut corners.

  2. It does seem a Frazetta feature that if the characters are looking at the viewer, they look fierce – so it’s certainly captured that! Funnily enough, in doing so, it yields the viewer’s upper right lady looking most like her original-photo self.
