Batman jumping out of an exploding fiery building

I pulled the title/credit panel from Detective Comics #1074 published by DC Comics that was drawn by Dustin Nguyen; extended the art a bit, and finally placed it inside a nice flame-bordered panel.

Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet just because there's a picture with a quote next to it.

My rehash of the "Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet just because there's a picture with a quote next to it." classic meme using an image I generated over on at Nightcafe Juggernaut XL v6.

Series C from the Cthulhu - Lord of Life Series postage stamp release

Here is "Series C" from the United States Postal Service H.P. Lovecraft stamp series. This series was created entirely within NightCafe Crystal Clear XL. I cleaned up all the ugly AI artifacts, added extra imagery where needed, and then combined them into an actual stamp book using Affinity Photo.

Series B from the Cthulhu - Lord of Life Series postage stamp release

Here is "Series B" from the United States Postal Service H.P. Lovecraft stamp series. I created about 500 different stamps based on my original prompt using NightCafe SDXL, Meta AI Imagine, and Bing Image Creator (DALL-E 3). I cleaned up all the ugly AI artifacts, added extra imagery where needed, and then combined them into an actual stamp book using Affinity Photo.

Cthulhu - Lord of Life Series A postage stamps

The United States Postal Service is honoring H.P. Lovecraft with a new series of stamps, four new Cthulhu images per book. I created about 500 different stamps based on my original prompt using NightCafe SDXL, Meta AI Imagine, and Bing Image Creator (DALL-E 3). I cleaned up all the ugly AI artifacts, added extra imagery where needed, and then combined them into an actual stamp book using Affinity Photo.

Tate McRae CD Single "eXes" Cover Artwork

I created this proposed cover artwork for Tate McRae's latest music release "eXes" during one of my evening TV breaks.  Tate is burning a Polaroid picture of her latest eXe.

Unpublished cover for Walt Disney's Donald Duck #85 (would have been released in December 1962)

Using my artwork from the last creation, I have created the unreleased cover from what could have been issue #85 of Walt Disney's Donald Duck if published by Dell Comics.  Naturally, I have created this as close to Carl Barks-style as I can, mimicked from many sample comic books.

Donald Duck as Batman

After tracing/vectorizing my last drawing off a Carl Barks 1950s comic book, I decided to try my hand at making a Batman version of Donald Duck. I used quite a few different Barks duck images to compare against for inspiration and artist reference.

Donald Duck Having Problems Mixing a Batch of Cookies

I created my own vector version from a 1952 comic book cover originally drawn by Carl Barks from Walt Disney's Donald Duck #57. Just vector brushes, solid colors, and a couple gradient fills. I've included a side-by-side image to show my source material for this homage.

Catwoman jumping over inner city rooftops

Catwoman (Selina Kyle) jumping over inner city rooftops.  I like the way the silhouette works on the cloudy night sky backdrop, especially with the water tower.

Vampire Hellhound

I borrowed my nasty teeth from a previous Batman image creation and applied it to our labradoodle.  I would not want to run into this guy after dark.  I think we will call this hellhound by the name of Dark Bolivar.

Batman Vampire

Batman as a vampire, 'nuff said.    A bit of tracing and composite work from some other images, then altered quite a bit to fit this image theme.   I think the image I used for distorting into point teeth came out decent.

Travis Kelce Catching a Football

This one was interesting to create something different on my version of Travis Kelce catching a football.  Took a few photo images, did some rough tracing with vectors to create the main body, and then started using Affinity Designer's knife tool to cut out the detail shape areas, and then recolored things trying to use limited colors.  I only used a couple gradient fills trying to keep most of the coloring plain and simple solid colors.  When you discard my two gradients I think this is less than 12 colors.   This vector image can scale to just about any size and not distort so that is cool.

Green Lantern power battery with logo text work

I tested out the new Affinity 2.3.0 release today (cool new spiral tool available, but not used on this image), and with it, I finally had a chance to utilize IamRensi lights, lens flare, and particle brushes. Started with Designer font for the Green Lantern logo, converted it to curves, stacked and edited nodes for a 3D look, along with more warp group tweaks, then converted it into a second warp group to get the perspective laid down, Then took my work back to Affinity Photo, added a gradient for the lens flare coloring on the text, plus lots of various live filters on different layers, while compositing it into the 3d battery image I found online.

Dua Lipa Polaroid photos

Just some simple layer work, featuring Dua Lipa, while playing with Affinity Photo template-type design setup on my end.  Created multiple editing layers so that I can inject new photographs onto the Polaroid layout for future experiments.

Liliatha, our youngest redheaded witch is levitating in her living room.

 I started with a Bing Image Creator (DALL-E 3) prompt "a picture of a red-headed woman 30 years old bouncing on a pogo stick" then brought that into Affinity and started working on some minor tweaks, edits, and tried to weed out some of the artificial look.   I'm titling this "Liliatha, our youngest redheaded witch is levitating in her living room."

Lainey Wilson: Heart Like A Truck LP Vinyl Record and Sleeve

My quick creation of what I think a Lainey Wilson: Heart Like A Truck LP vinyl record and worn art sleeve would look like.

Batgirl in a Dark Alley (Bruce Timm)

I pulled a Bruce Timm created Batgirl image and placed her into a full background of a dark alley with graffiti. 

Batman Wants to Put You In a Coma

Eduardo Barreto had a nice panel in DC Comics' Batman - Gotham by Gaslight, which I pulled out, isolated, and then did a few edits and added fresh dialogue "Why don't I help you slip into something more comfortable... like a coma."
