With artificial intelligence photo software, Hidreley Leli Diao has created lifelike portraits of some of his favourite comic book characters
What if Chacha Chaudhary - the Indian comic book character known for his razor-sharp brain - were to come alive? How would he have looked in real life? Or how would Mowgli from The Jungle Book appear in real life? Would he still be endlessly curious or testing his limits? All these questions can be answered now, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). A Brazilian digital artist has created a fascinating series of “portraits” of popular comic characters using AI. After learning that AI software can create near-real portraits of people who actually do not exist, the artist, Hidreley Leli Diao, decided to use the technology in creative ways.
With state-of-the-art AI photo software, Mr Diao has created lifelike portraits of some of his favourite comic book characters, such as Moe from The Simpsons, Moana, Prince Eric and Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, and Jasmine and Aladdin. His Instagram handle has AI-assisted portraits of Flynn Rider from Tangled, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Goku from Dragon Ball, Violet from The Incredibles, and Bruno from Encanto among others. The results are incredible to behold. Take a look:
