In the recent months we have seen many Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated images being shared on the internet. From visualising Delhi battling pollution in the future to imagining Astronauts as brides, artists are flooding social media platforms with AI-generated pictures. Now, Sachin Samuel, the founder and creative director of Bootpolish Talkies has impressed the social media user with his Ramayana character sketch.
Samuel took to his LinkedIn account to share the stunning images and wrote how the Hindu epic had fascinated him since childhood. He used the AI tool Midjourney to make the character sketches.
"Since childhood Ramayana always fascinated me. Ramayana has plenty of heartwarming characters. King Dasaratha, Manthara the maidservant, Kaikeyi the youngest of King Dasaratha's consorts, Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Ravana the Demon King of Lanka, Maricha, Sugreeva the Monkey King and Jambuvan, King of the Bears, Kumbharkarn, Ravana's giant brother, Indrajit, Ravana's warrior son, Jatayu, the sacred eagle," Samuel wrote on his account.
"In Ramayana, even the villains, Vali, Indrajit evoke tears when they die. That's the beauty of a great epic, where you could love and hate the villains equally. Ramayana is a visual masterpiece that takes you on a journey across the length and breadth of India. Portrait character sketches series created using Ai tool Midjourney," he added.
The photos shared by Samuel features several characters wielding ancient bows and arrows.
