Tom of Finland Reimagined in AI

Remixing Reality - Shipwrecked Sailor (after Tom of Finland)

This image has been created by seeding an AI engine (Google's Gemini) with a Tom of Finland image from one of his Jungle Jack stories (No. 3 'Seafood'). 

The original is reproduced below. 

Shipwrecked Sailor (Tom of Finland)

The new image is reasonably close to Tom's original apart from the sailor's head which is dark haired and more mature in the AI reading. The wetness of the sailor's whites is an improvement in my view, something that is very hard to do in a line drawing.

This elaboration has its points, restoring the blond hair in the original and giving him comprehensively ripped pants, which arguably is more erotic. The short sleeves of his tunic are pure fancy but do show off his muscular biceps.

A pleasing contribution to this growing genre
