Disney characters have been realistically recreated in humans, all thanks to AI.
Digital artist Hidreley Leli Diao, from Brazil, has reimagined characters such as Moana, Ariel, Prince Eric, Aladdin and many more.
The hyper-realistic images were generated using “Photoshop and three mobile applications, FaceApp, Gradiente and Remini.”
Hidreley, who is a contributing writer for Bored pandasaid: “With the rise of AI-assisted art generation, there are virtually (no pun intended) any boundaries for digital art, you just have to be creative and know how to lead the blind hand of the machine.”
With over 346,000 followers, this isn’t the first time Hidreley’s AI designs have gone viral. Rather, he created real-life versions of Simpsons characters.
