I Used AI To Find Out What These 33 Historical And Mythical Figures Would Look Like If They Were Modern Everyday People (New Pics)

The recreations of the photographer and digital artist Bas Uterwijk made this artist create a series in the first place. Obviously, Bas is a master of the medium, and this artist started by trying to learn more from him and emulate his style. He was very glad to receive some positive feedback from Bas the last time I talked with him! The artist would also like to mention Nathan Shipley’s works, which also influenced him greatly.

When choosing the character, the most time-consuming thing is to find an image that resembles the historical figure. This artist spend hours in image databases and do research about how the historical personalities looked until he got the right picture. The time it takes greatly depends on the piece, but each individual recreation takes up to 2 hours, which is nothing compared to AI-unassisted methods that may take from days to months.

This artist believed that these legendary and historical personalities were really special, no matter how common and mundane the AI makes them look. “No matter how regular they might look, we will always have in mind that they have made a name for themselves in history, and the surrounding aura of their historical significance never really fades, unless it’s completely forgotten. This time I’m happier with my works than the previous one, and I can really feel the progress from the last time.”

 “I would also love it if you’d show me support on my social media, where I share my best articles and art there. I try to give updates on what I’m going to do next there.”
