100% AI work here via the free photos.google.com option to convert an image into a quick video clip. I am especially impressed that I fed some of my previous image work in Gemini Veo 3.1, turned them into these clips, WITHOUT an actual descriptive prompt being added by me.
I took the original DC Comics Kevin Maguire/Terry Austin artwork from 1987's Justice League no.5 comic book art and extended it out into a larger scene.
[Workflow: I used Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) to create my draft work items, and then progressed to the final image with further prompts. Final clean-ups and alterations within Affinity Photo.] |

Charlie Brown in 3D was created while in a Slack discussion forum with Robbie Weinberg.
[Workflow: I fed Peanuts sample art into Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) to create a 3D version. I then imported it into Affinity Photo to clean up a few issues found while creating the background elements (poster, toys, etc), and I also used Topaz Gigapixel to upscale some elements of the image flow as needed.]

My wife is always talking about needing a meme image of a grandmother clutching her pearls. I took some time to run through Nano banana and feed it sample art, to make what I wanted. I then cleaned them up in Affinity Photo, fixing AI glitches as required.
Some of the mimicked art styles are spot-on; others are a poor derivative.
Enjoy!
