I worked with AI to create this image of Chance the Rapper. I had originally photographed him at Expo Chicago. I used PhotoLeap which is an app on my phone to alter the original photo. Then, I changed the results via digital painting. AI had created a third leg and a basket in the picture. I added a gray T-shirt, extended his arm, changed his hands and shirt, elongated his hat and sharpened the image. I removed an extra collar and cuffs generated by AI. I also gave Chance the 3 charm on his necklace, since the number 3 is his trademark.
The background reminds me of the official painting of President Barack Obama by Kehinda Wiley located at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.
This is my 14th iteration from the original. I think this image is just about done. I'd appreciate your comments.
