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.]

Kilowog modern art homage in the style of Keith Haring

Kilowog in the style of 1980s modern art, inspired by the original Keith Haring 'Untitled' 1984 art piece.

[Workflow: I fed several of Keith's artworks into Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) to create multiple base samples. I then imported these into Affinity Photo, where I began collaging various components. Cleaned up many issues created during image overlays, halftoned it, and I also used Topaz Gigapixel to upscale some elements of the image flow as needed.]

It's Sunday, are you ready for some NFL football?  Guy Gardner, one of Earth's Green Lanterns, takes a brief break from superhero work to root for his hometown team.

[Workflow: A dozen Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) prompts to get my starter image sketched into an homage to Rockwell, then human workflow for merging items/tweaks/TV set fX inside Affinity Photo.]

Justice League #41 - ComicBase Exclusive 'JL#1 Maguire Homage' Cover by TrUzApalOOza

I've created another imaginary DC Comics variant comic book cover.  Inspired by the original Kevin Maguire/Terry Austin artwork from 1987's Justice League no.1 comic book art.   

[Workflow: I sourced images from various DC comic book covers and fed them into Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) to create multiple base pieces. I then imported these into Affinity Photo, where I began collaging various components. I then finalized the "versus Toyman" logo, adjusted the layout of the blank sketch cover, designed the barcode, and inserted patriotic-hued creator credits. Additionally, I used Topaz Gigapixel to upscale various elements of the image flow as needed.]
