Artwork: Tony as a Templar (AI)
Artist: Bj Jones
Notes: A quick personal note. It’s been a rough year – actually it’s been a rough few years – basically I haven’t had much time to do any thing let alone writing. So this year’s main focus was playing around with AI to get our Sylum characters into historical recreations. Now that’s not been easy as you’ve seen, the images just don’t quite come out right. What you’re going to see for Advent is some of the best ones. It’s a variety of characters, from famous moments from Sylum storyline, and also historical events. Also will be showcasing new imagery for the recent casting change. Oh and last thing – some will have a small video to show them moving.
So please do enjoy.
Added Note: Getting Tony as a Templar was a pain in my backside. This was the closest one, and it turned out to be like one of those religious paintings. My theory is Speed got it commissioned as a gift, first as a joke but turned into a true heartfelt gift.
Here’s another version – I worked with a starter photo. It looks like Tony but the outfit doesn’t fit Templar Knight.
It may not feel right to you, but I can imagine him perfectly like this in your stories. Incredible !
Thanks! Ironically the main boys are the hardest of the group. Mostly to do with the fact the actors are not as known so images on line is less frequent.
Oh I like! Specially the second one!
Love both, but really like the head shot.
The headshot I used a starter image so it takes the image and works around it. Very helpful if can find the right pose.
Both are wonderful. I do usually picture him with long hair in those days. Gorgeous job! ❤️
Likely his hair would be longer. I could always play around more with this one, as this was one of the first ones I did so have a bit more editing skill since 🙂
Those look great. The headshot is the best though!
It’s off a starter image so those work great as long as get the right pose
Absolutely gorgeous! I can really see him as a Templer Knight through this picture.

Thanks!
Thank you, I like them both, although the headshot is cool. I don’t know though why even with a photo, AI can’t get the physiognomy right. Obviously human beings are too complex for a machine.
The AI also sucks at hands. Which is why always try to have something in them. You can always spot an AI by the 5 fingers.
I like both! I have always liked the headshot of Tony.
