What if...

... Richard Sala had lived to draw Mae Ling, the Ghost of Hong Kong? It might have looked something like this:






These illos were created using a tool at OpenArt.ai, with a model created by feeding somewhere around 50 different Sala drawings into the A.I. These "fakes" pale in comparison to the real things--and I think Sala might have drawn the Ghost a little less... shall we say top-heavy--but they're good enough for the blog. And illustrative of why many atists are either scared or angered by A.I. making illustrations.

Although this does make me think that maybe I need to commission some REAL artists to draw Mae Ling Chen, the Ghost of Hong Kong!
