With The Help Of AI, This Artist Reimagined The Endings Of 10 Iconic Movies

We reached out to the artist to learn more about them and their creative process. Alptekin shared that art has always been a part of their life. "I graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts and have worked on charcoal drawing, digital visual manipulation, interior design, and industrial designs. I have a curiosity for technology, and I love researching and learning new things. I keep up with developments in artificial intelligence applications. I enjoy working on merging artificial intelligence with visual design to create creative works."

To create the images, Alptekin uses artificial intelligence-supported applications like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Photoshop AI, LeonardoAI, DALL·E, and sometimes relies on traditional image editors depending on the situation. "Each application has its own advantages and disadvantages, and I leverage the strengths of each one. In fact, what I do is a combination of all these applications."

The idea for creating the "Happy Ending" series came about when The Webtekno platform approached Alptekin with a concept. "They asked me to create imaginary visuals of characters in movies and TV shows being married and having children," the artist shared with us. "I tried to interpret the presented idea in a more unique way. I incorporated the plot elements and cinematic techniques from the series and films and created the concept of 'happy endings.' We selected films and TV shows that left a sense of melancholy in people. I analyzed each of them and attempted to convey the emotional intensity of each through visuals."

"This concept consists of three parts. In the first two parts, I primarily worked on films and TV shows that could be more localized. These works had already gone viral and were well-received locally. With the third part encompassing international films, my expectations were higher. The fact that the third part also gained attention made me very happy. This interest serves as motivation for me to continue this series for future projects."
