It’s been a long while since I have submitted anything. I hope this is permitted. I tried to choose the best forum.
-
A Chiss Jedi Knight
-
Alien Jedi Knight
-
AI generated Mungo Baobab. He’s not a Jedi, but he’s my namesake. I have to include him.
-
Awesome! I was just binge watching droids this past weekend.
-
I have a few others of him as well, but I thought the smiling face was more realistic. It had more personality.
-
An AI version of Han Solo and Chewbacca.
-
Admiral Screed from Droids
-
These are great! How are you producing these? I really like the design of the blue-skinned alien.
-
I was thinking you should do Skreed. These would be great concepts for custom figures. Do Kybo Ren.
-
Yeah...do Kybo Ren...oh and Kleb Zellock (he's one ugly dude).
-
I've been rewatching Droids too (for the second time in three months)- funny.
-
I’m glad you all like these. I have more on the way from the Droids series.
-
Nice, once again, to see you back. How do you go about getting AI to make these? I would love to see how this artwork is produced. I think we can all agree there is still very much a human hand in the creation design of this. Off to share.

It’s definitely a challenge and a lot of trial and error. There’s a lot of tweaking of the descriptions and give-and-take. Sometimes it’s a judgment call on what details to give up on in order to generate an image that closely resembles what I’m really looking for yet, also is a good representation of the character that’s described. I hope that makes sense because the final result I would say is more subjective because there are going to be people who do and do not like the images that I generate. some people might see this as cheating, but my goal is to still create custom Star Wars characters. This is just a whole lot cheaper. 😆 however, I think that one of the best parts of creating the AI graphic images is that almost anybody can do it so if you’re a fan of Star Wars and want to create a custom image, you could do that through a description and not have to worry about whether you have the talent to deconstruct and reconstruct figures and then paint them and customize them. If you have an idea for a character, just feed the information in and keep working at it until you get what you want. But in my mind, when I start with that blank description I always think about what Anakin says “this is where the fun begins”.
-
Wookiee Jedi
-
Variations of Thall Joben from Droids. They aren’t exact, but as I said, they’re variations. Tell me which one you like the most.
“This is where the fun begins.”
-
A few more of Thall Joben.
-
A few more…
-
So many interesting variations. I am gonna add these to yesterday's post.
Where do you go to input your physical characteristics. Is it a particular website. I am so behind on this AI stuff. I don't even know where to start.
-
I’m using Bing’s AI image generator DALL-E. It’s so interesting and fun.
-
Cool options...I like (from top down) #3 and #11. Thanks for the heads up on the program.
-
Dark Empire Luke and Palpatine.
-
A couple more
-
These are some of Luke Skywalker from Dark Empire
-
Jaxxon the Lepi.
-
More Jaxxon
-
More of Jaxxon.
-
Nice! I think I like the first Jaxxon head and the second outfit best. :D
-
I wish it gave me the option to lock in certain details, but it’s all trial and error. Thank you for your kind words. What did you think of the Dark Empire characters?
-
Oh, I liked them. I think the last Palpatine was my favorite rendering, and the second of the "solo" Luke images fits best. Also...between watching "Droids" on Disney+ and your AI stuff, I finally bought the Boba Fett/ BL-17 two-pack (I found it fairly inexpensive on eBay).
-
Pretty cool Jaxxon likenesses. Trying to figure out which one I like. Probably that first one where he looks tough. No, now I think I like the one with the sorta spikes on his head. Man just a ton of awesome variation there.
Off to the front pages btw.
-
Love the Jaxxon portraits. Two in particular stand out to me, #3 and #5. Number 3 has that skin quality I like to add into to my incarnation. Number 5 I like because he reminds me of Rocket Raccoon. I feel like Rocket and Jaxxon's personalities would be similar. The third run is the best suits.
As far as AI, I know Tamer wanted opinions on it, It's good. It's defiantly recognizable, when you see it you know it's AI. I still like doing my photoshop collages and lately I've been incorporating AI parts into them. I don't like to do total AI but you can do some things to make great parts for a total picture.
Mungo, I'd like to get permision to use some of your Jaxxon renders to make my version. I'll give you credit for the usage.
-
See thats just it. I think I would always be able to tell AI from something like DS does. I find his image creations more vivid and I guess real is the word I am looking for. Its not that AI is bad, but I still think human creation will trump something artificial in its current form.
That being said I would love to see if I could figure out how to use it to create some new graphics for this place! I do graphic work for the Yards, but each little banner or image takes me hours of work and I feel I finally just settle for it even though I feel it could be better. If any of that makes any sense.
-
Permission granted to use Jaxxon images.
I didn’t mean to cause any problems with the AI images. I have seen a few negative comments on the Facebook page and even one asking for AI images to be banned. I never intended to create any controversy, just to have fun making Star Wars images and sharing them with others.
I tried to be upfront and honest that this was AI. If enough people call for it, I’ll submit to them being taken down.
-
Oh no no no. Don't take this down. There is nothing wrong with this. Express your artistic side any way you want. These are a benifit to the art page. I'll be done with Jaxxon today. He will be created with only your AI pictures. ONLY AI. See what y'all think.
Mungo, maybe we should do a few collaborations when we have time.
-
Sounds good.
So, just because I am not sure, are you designing a picture using various parts of the AI image?
-
Yes. I'm using your art to design my vision of the character. I just posted him on my thread. Go check him out! He's fantastic! Thanks for letting me use your art!
-
Luke on Myrkr
-
Luke looks good, my composite based on your images - Luke head #2, body #4 (sans the larnge orange pocket - that seems out of place) :)
Nobody here has raised a complaint I hope. While I have plenty of concerns about AI generally (espeically in my role as a teacher), using AI to generate "what-if" or "my head canon" or "if I had drawn it" images shouldn't be found objectionable. Its a new tool for custom composition, there is still a human imagination and eye behind the final output. Just my two cents.
-
Nice pilot variatons on Jedi Luke. Off to share.

Cathar Jedi

What If…Sith! Part 1
What if the Sith were actually serving the light side of the force?
Dooku
Palpatine
Vader
Maul
-
They look pretty daggone good as the good guys. I like them.
Off to share.
-
What if…Sith. Part 2
Savage Opress
Ventress
Sion
Malek
-
Wow, let me go get these added too.
I have to say I would love to see how Darth Talon looks in this format. >:D
-
Just for you Tamer!
Jedi Knight Talon.
-
Those are great! I really like the Dooku and the second Talon.
-
Gorgeous. I like her. Both versions. Man, makes me wonder what you would do with Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura as Sith!
Off to share.
-
Jar Jar Binks Sith theory concept.
Darth Cozen (I chose this name because I think it fit the concept of JJB being a secret/surprise Sith. Cozen means to cheat, deceive, or trick).
-
Very nice. I mean he would have to perfect cover to be a Sith.
Off to share.
-
MUNGO IS THE MAN!!!
Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!!!
-
Let’s flip the script again. What if…the Jedi were actually the ones that served the dark side of the force? What if they were the ones with evil intentions, spreading fear through the galaxy?
Yoda
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Qui-Gon Gin
Mace Windu
-
What if…Jedi, part two.
Ahsoka
Ahsoka
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Qui-Gon Gin
-
What if..Jedi…Quinlan Vos!
-
What if…Jedi…Aayla Secura.
-
I like the Mace concept and Aayla turned out awesome in all forms.
-
Yep, Mace looks good. Needs a red Saber with a purple tinge to it.
And yes, Aayla looks awesome.
Off to share.
-
Tamer, I made a few new ones for Mace.
-
Nice. Have to admit he makes a pretty convincing Sith Lord. Can't you just see him showing up like that.
Off to add these to the gallery.
-
These are great (as usual) Mungo. Sorry I haven't had a chance to work on any colabs. Been a little busy, but it's not off the table.
-
It’s not Star Wars related, but I did another “What if?”
What if Scooby Doo and Shaggy were survivors of either a zombie apocalypse or a post apocalyptic earth.
-
A few more…
-
Ole Shaggy looks pretty tough. Not sure what version of Scooby I like.
Off to share.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!!
Jedi Master Padrig Relandi, keeper of the Ancient Sacred Texts.
-
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!!
More of Jedi Master Padrig Relandi, keeper of the Ancient Sacred Texts.
It’s hard to stop at 4. 😄
-
Love that! Great job with the name, too. I think I'll have to print those up and put them in my study. What would he say "Jedi go bragh"? (Though historically his color was light blue, not green.)
-
Yeah, I knew green wasn’t the traditional color, but I used it to get the point across. I was also trying to be respectful of his historical significance and faith. It was something fun for St. Patrick’s Day.

Most people don't realize that green isn't the traditional color, so good on you! I think you were very respectful of Patrick's religious significance. I think the last two are brilliant.
-
Awesome. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Happy Easter!!
Here are some Easter Jedi!
-
More Easter Jedi!
-
Love your creative ideas especially the one with Scooby Doo & Saint Patrick!
-
Thanks!
-
Happy Easter!
-
These are great. Happy Easter Mungo.

Nice! Happy Resurrection Sunday. I really like the last female, the meditating male and the bearded male.
-
Guess I’m behind the times in more ways than I thought.
We’re… okay with AI art now?
…
Great! Cuz I’ve made a shit ton. And I’ve gone back to my roots with customizing ladies in imperial uniform.
…
I don’t have issues with women, YOU have issues with women! Stop looking at me!! 😉 😛
-
Nice! I could see see Vader being an equal opportunity choker!
Off to share.
-
I concur with Tamer! :)
-
Right. So. Not sure whether to be happy or depressed at how popular my last post was on the Facebook.
…
I choose happy. Have some more.
-
Very nice. It would be so cool to see Hasbro create a female Imperial Officers 4 pack or something along those lines. I think they would sell like hotcakes.
Off to share.
It would be cool to see Vader standing beside one of the ones being choked. I can just hear it, "apology accepted Captain so and so"
-
Those are nice. I like the "non-choking" ones.
-
Another set of “What if?”
Shaggy and Scooby as Jedi Knights!
-
Nice, now we need to see the rest of the gang and the mystery machine.
Not sure about the shaggy scoobies.
Off to share.
-
I want to see ultra mini skirt Jedi Velma with thick black glasses.
-
Let us please remember this is a family friendly site please. And Mungo, don't worry about the haters on FB. We are enjoying your images.
-
Those are fun. Not sure how I feel about long-haired Scooby-Doo though
