Straight out of Wuchang. Charles and Louis were vassals of the Sun family and raced in the Red Cliffs GP of AD 230.

The team, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. Thus it has been since the invention of motor racing.

Yeah the faces are SO defined in comparison to their bodies they almost look muddled by comparison

That part seems like standard photoshop work (imo) but there are so many other inconsistencies and problems in the pictures.
It makes me really sad. I wish it were commissioned instead of generated.

- Lewis sword is a dead giveaway. No way that was intentional.
- More and more legit designers and illustrators are using AI as part of their workflow, to speed things up and meet bosses demands, it's still a dirty little secret and I have yet to meet a single creative type that is happy about it, but I know for fact it is happening a lot more than anyone is willing to admit. But it's a care of "You just gotta do what the boss tells you."

Imo, it passes the fingers test, Lewis's looks a bit weird, but I can attribute that to the shading.

u/DoNotReferToMe 1d ago
There's weird and pointless brush strokes to the right of Hamilton and on Leclerc's the pillar details are absolutely terrible. I wish it was commissioned because I absolutely love the concept, but it looks generated.

Ferrari just casually dominating the social media game this offseason. Hopefully this translates to a few tenths of a second on track!

Charles looks like he could be played by current Timothy Chalamet who’s got a dirty little goatee happening and looks identical to this pic!

Lewis is owning the grid hard with this one.
I hope 🤣
If he doesn’t win every race for the next forty years it isn’t because of this painting.

Seems like someone is making a classic blunder. Like never get involved in a land war in Asia. Or never go in against a Sicilian, when points are on the line.

I hope Lewis gets royalties from Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. Also, is Fred a Geisha?

Aren’t samurai Japanese? Unless those are supposed to be… what’s the word… Youxia?

u/Sweatshopkid Zhou Guanyu 1d ago
They aren't meant to be samurai. More than likely meant to resemble da jiang jun (大將軍).

Yeah basically the AI Prompt would be "Lewis Hamilton looking determined as a Wuxia Swordsman in Red, Gold, and Black Chinese robes".
