The Girls of Scooby Doo (Daphne + Velma)

Daphne & Velma are the girls of Scooby Doo and the Mystery Machine van, as seen in a local Indianapolis park, which has been temporarily set up for the annual Halloween season.

[Workflow: Nano banana for base image + human finishes for van logo, lighting, background merger]

Superman, Batman, Mister Miracle, and The Flash in Front of the Hall of Justice LEGO Set.

Does anyone remember the late 1970s/early 1980s, when you watched reruns of Super Friends on TV and then made your own LEGO sets to go with it? 

[Workflow: Nano banana for base image, rest of human work within Affinity for fixing the instruction manual, adding the four LEGO set characters, adding laser beams to Superman, adding the fire from the table, and adding The Flash running so fast we see him blurred across the screen. Additional background cleanups as needed.]

Pete Transformed into They Live Alien

I created a possible YouTube intro screen for Pete Bickford's (mostly) weekly ComicBaseTV livestream channel. Pete is even wearing Roddy Piper's clothes from the cult classic THEY LIVE movie.

[Workflow: Nano banana for helping provide elements to expand the poster, then everything else done by hand in Affinity for fonts, face mapping, poster merge, etc.]

Peanuts Homage - Charlie Brown in 3D Reading a Comic Book

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.]

Grandmother Clutching Her Pearls

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!
