Over the last few days, I’ve been deep in creative mode, training and tweaking my AI to match the iconic art style of one of my favorite artists, Alex Ross.

His captivating comic book art is hyper-realistic, heroic, larger than life, and completely timeless. If you’ve never seen his work, I would highly recocmmend you have a look at this short documentary…

I’ve been wanting to make my own comic for a while now, and thought experimenting with a few covers of comic books I’d love to read would be the perfect starting point.

Here are a few covers I’ve been working on:

Bonus Artworks/Posters:

T-800 from Terminator

Brandon Lee Side Profie

Captain America

Conan The Barbarian
