Playing Cowboy in the Barn

This picture is built from a photo of two paper dolls that look almost nothing like this. I used AI to create it, but not by simply giving it text and asking for it to do the entire artwork.

I first took a photo of the two paper dolls and removed the background. The cowgirl Woody was originally a drawing of Annette Funicello done by me, then turned into a paper doll. I turned the Mickey Mouse Ears into a cowboy hat and dressed the figure as Woody from Toy Story. The little blonde girl paper doll became the brunette girl seated on the table. The background of the inside of a barn was generated around the characters with Picsart AI Photo Editor.

This is an intermediate step in the process described above. I like how the cowboy Woody figure was transformed by Picsart, but I don’t like what it did to the hands of the girls. I should have fixed the hands in the step below, before generating the background. I also don’t like how the seated girl’s left eye expanded. This problem was caused by my trying to avoid the AI program making her cross-eyed when it added the background.

Here’s an alternate background. I, of course, am not satisfied yet with the picture. Maybe I will work on it more tomorrow.
