Men's Magazines alterations

[frog]

A couple of people have shown an interest in something I've been doing with some of the old Men's magazine images which suffered from having the heroines clad in far too much clothing and also showing very little concern about facing "A Fate Worse Than Death." Lots of people have tried to disrobe the heroines using photoshop or other drawing software, but it always looked pretty fake (I've tried it myself, and it was a ton of work for not-very-satisfactory results).

Anyway, I had some great instruction from JD, so here's the first of my posts of AI-modified Men's magazines (mostly covers for now and mostly those mags that I was able to get good scans of - 400 or 600dpi scans -- the AI software doesn't work as reliably for low resolution scans).

So here's Man's Book 1965-02, before and after (I happened to have a decent image with all the cover lettering removed, which made this one easier). Let me know of your interest if you want to see more.

Well done Bleu. Bravo and thanks for sharing.

Impressive! Thank you both for sharing your work.

AI bleumune redo is terrific . It looks like a drawing too. Will Burner

The closest to a damsel MM cover drawing redo for me was this one.
Of course I poser redid the damsel and flames. In all the other MM cover redo I replaced everything with poser art.
I wonder how AI would look like on this Nazi damsels cover? Will Burner

I think I have a decent image of that cover. I'll give it a shot!

Hi Will,
It turned out that my high resolution scan of this issue was . . . truly awful. Dirty, torn, and requiring a LOT of cleanup before I wanted to invest any AI time on it. So I used the image you posted!

I upscaled by a factor of 4 to get the resolution to a good place, did all my AI stuff with it, then downscaled it to a 1.6 MB jpg file. I was pretty happy with the two central figures (except for having to struggle with the expression of the female heroine), but the publishers didn't invest too much in the background art. I disrobed the female but the two male figures are pretty crude!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one.

P.S. If you have any other favorites that are of similar quality and you'd like me to take a look at them, pass them along and I'll put them in my TO DO list. This was pretty enjoyable -- especially since I didn't have to do all that cleanup!

Excellent work

Excellent AI redo except AI apparently as a think for huge cup breasts.
Thank you and your AI friend. Will Burner
