A while ago I played around with finetuning some image AI for fun. It’s quite the challenge to do with so few high quality old images out there! I ended up experimenting a bunch with George and Bernie, but never really got the results/control I wanted and kind of lost steam before trying Bootsy (I may get around to him in the future). Here’s some of my favorite/best-looking ones.
Space Cadet Bernie is my favourite.
They’re all great but that one in particular floats my boat.
Yeah, I was very happy with how that one in particular turned out. It was inspired by that Khu.éex P-Vine cover.
Beautiful, man.
You should ask AI bot if he swims or dances…
Ha ha brilliant.
Another one of George, this time fine-tuned on “Flux Dev”. It turned out well so I uploaded it.
I tried to generate an image of George coming out of a coffin like from that one stage show, but I couldn’t quite figure it out. Also, I didn’t try anything cartoon, but I think it should work with some tinkering.
Loving these. Keep em coming
I’ll try, but it takes ~2 minutes to generate an image.
I want to make one for Bootsy next since I said I would but never got around to it.
The dolphin one is boss. Really like that one in particular. They’re all good like but that is ace.
Okay! I finally got myself to do a Bootsy one. Doing accurate portraits of celebrities is too easy now and in my opinion kind of boring, but I kept saying I’d do it, so here it is.
I was kind of hoping to release it around his album release…
Be aware there was little of his gold tooth, bass or many costumes in the training data.

Cool! Leave it to the Atomic Dog to embrace technology. Roof!
I’m actually trying to train twelve quick AI models of the Doctor’s various clones for “Funk month” (December). Source material can be extremely limited, but some have already turned out well. Stay tuned for that.
Body Snatchin’! I hope y’all have your sunglasses on out there. The doctor has been cloned. May I frighten you?
Here’s Mothership Connection. I’m not sure if this is supposed to be the Doctor or Star Child, but I assume it’s the Doctor…
The training data confused the model, especially the face paint/mask thing. Result were not good enough for release yet. These were some of the best test images I could force out. He’s squatting for testing.
I’ve got more good ones coming up if someone can give me a reply.
Keep keep em coming
Some original Funkadelic would be nice, if I may make so bold a request.
