Well, hello! I'm momentarily back from the dead!

I've been playing around a lot with AI image generators - not because it's a good use of my time, but simply because it's fun (and I'm a HUGE procrastinator, even all these years later).

Since I have access to this super cool, super fun new technology, and also since I'm a terrible artist myself, I thought it might be fun to try and create some of my OCs! And believe me, some of the prompts turned out really well - almost exactly like I imagined in my head.

Here's a few favourites. Enjoy!

Our lovely rebellious teen Michelle from 'She's a Woman'

Our lovely rebellious teen Michelle from 'She's a Woman'. She has her famous short hair (love how it looks - just as I imagined it) and leather jacket. This is as canonical as it gets!

Here she is aged up to her mid-late 30s! Mish still has her short hair, leather threads, and famous spunky (but kind-hearted) attitude - and I absolutely love her!

Michelle at home - I like to think this is her father's house, as seen in the first chapter of 'A Bit More of You'. Maybe I should generate an image of him as well!

Michelle looking very mumsie here, but still gorgeous! Love the leather, too

Probably my favourite photo of the lot. This is Michelle with her own teenage tearaway daughter Georgia, who we met in 'A Bit More of You'. I love how they look - almost exactly how I imagined them all those years ago. Georgia has her famous stoic expression, while Michelle just oozes 'proud and loving mum'. The 70s fashion is also very strong here - did anyone ever notice how Georgia also has a special jacket, just like dear old mum?

BONUS: I thought this was quite interesting. It's meant to be Michelle and her ex-flame-turned-close-friend George (even though he looks a little like someone else we know) in their mid-50s, as hinted at in 'A Bit More of You'. Seems like aging affected them differently!


I hope you liked these images! It was so much fun creating and refining my beloved characters, bringing them to life. What a great tool! I may do some more in the future...

Much love,
