Femme Fatale: Queens of Music

I encountered a prompt for Ai to generate images in a pulp magazine style mixed with some Frazetta tones. I started doing famous actors, which often had great results. But these images weren't original, nothing we hadn't seen before. Then, while listening to 80's music, I generated an image using Debbie Harry of the famed 80's band Blondie. I have always found her unusually attractive; something about her shy-like yet dominating quirky manner, style, and beauty.
I loved the way this came out. But a square-shaped frame would take away from any full-body action pose. A vertical portrait format would permit more details, background, and dynamic poses.
From here, I started switching to other dominant female singers throughout the past 60 years. Singers from Country to Pop to Rock to Blues to Indy music.
See if you can guess them all:
The image above, which depicts Lady Gaga, showcases significant enhancements in detail, shading, and likeness due to a recent upgrade in the AI program. This improvement demonstrates the continual evolution of AI in producing more accurate and detailed representations. Additionally, it highlights that the same prompt now yields substantially different results compared to previous versions due to these upgrades. It's important to note that some AI generators offer the option to revert to earlier versions of their software, allowing users to create images with similar styles using the exact same prompts, even after updates.
