Super Mario Bros. will have a movie soon, Legend of Zelda not yet, but a Devian Art artist used programs powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to show what Tom Holland, Emma Watson and other actors would look like as live-action performers from the Link and Zelda franchise.
It was Dan Leveille, director of marketing for Devian Art, who created these incredible pieces of art, according to what was reviewed on the website of nintenderos. The report adds that he used Midjourney and DALL-E to create the fan art.
Like the different DALL-E versions of OpenIA, Midjourney is an artificial intelligence program with which users can create images from textual descriptions.
The application has not yet been officially launched and is still in its beta phase, open to the public and to Internet users who want to try it. Midjourney rose to prominence after the British magazine The Economist used the software to make the cover of one of its June 2022 issues.
Leveille recounted that he used Midjourney to make the fan arts, while thanks to DALL-E he was able to repaint the images. With Tencent ARC and Photoshop he made the facial corrections.
This is how Tom Holland as Link and Emma Watson as Zelda look
“The entire cast of Netflix’s live-action Zelda series just dropped, an all-star cast starring Tom Holland, Emma Watson, and Idris Elba.”, wrote the artist, who imagined that it would be a Netflix series.
Leveille added the individual images so her followers could see it in more detail. As we can observe, Holland is Link, Watson is Zelda, Elba plays Ganon and other actors such as Maisie Williams, Sadie Sink, Danny De Vito, Jameela Jamil, award-winning Meryl Streep, Steve Buscemi and Gemma Chan will participate..
