The Generative (Re)Touch
The new AI-tools for producing images are astonishing. But they are not quite "there" yet in terms of predictability, consistency or resolution. Of course, anybody can prompt an image forth these days. And it may be good enough, or you might just get lucky. But if there is a specific brief or sketch - when you want something unique that requires artistic control - things can get trickier. That's when you may start looking for something other than just a "prompt engineer".
My name is Thomas Feiner and I'm a visual artist with a solid background in illustration, retouch and 3D. I have now added various AI tools to my repertoire. For more info and commissions please contact:

Fussball
A visual idea I carried around for a long time, and the generative retouch approach made it possible to take it on. Testing how to tweak personalities and facial expressions. Testing a painterly version also.
Inheritance
An old Ipad sketch turned old-style photo. Experimenting with expressions of the characters.
Banksy
A big fan of Banksy, I wanted to see if it was possible to turn his famous NHS-tribute-drawing into a more photo-real version of the image - and make it an homage to the man himself.
Mexican Messiah
Upcoming book cover for American novelist Jay Kauffmann.
Firefight
Personal work, upscaling test, elaborating on details
Map and Reality
A play with environment and character expression.
Elephant
Mockup in 3D, then generative retouch with an Edward Norton lookalike on top.
The Fjord House
An earlier experiment to turn one of my quick Ipad-sketches (the last image) into an ArchViz-photo of sorts. The finished image is almost 10k pixels tall.
Ravine
Another Ipad-sketch re-dressed in a generative manner.
