Following up on yesterday’s Gen AI Image Battle (v2), I decided to do a little fun weekend experiment to see what beloved fictional characters (all in the public domain) would look like in real life, courtesy Generative AI.

I used MidJourney for all of these creations, with various techniques to upscale and vary images…ranging from in-built features within Midjourney to using upscaling tools like Magnific and Topaz.

Here are the final results!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Little Red Riding Hood

Alice in Wonderland

Gulliver’s Travel – Gulliver in Lilliput

Cinderella

Frankenstein’s Monster

Count Dracula

Tarzan

Hercules

Popeye and Olive Oyl

Tom Sawyer

Sherlock Holmes

Peter Pan

Winnie The Pooh

Zorro

BONUS: Popular Paintings

The Milkmaid (Johannes Vermeer)

The Scream (Edvard Munch)

Which of these did you enjoy the most? What other fictional characters would you like to see brought to life?
