A Village of Small People


Many things come to mind when you are creating a character from nothing. Aurelia Solis (the Queen of the Golden Sun) is such a character. Let’s see how I got from a comic book cover image from a 1960s “Lost in Space” comic book to “Aurelia Solis Makes a Pact.”

The first image is a modified version of the comic book cover in which Tim and Tam Robinson are being pursued by some ugly, spear toting aliens. Apparently they are on their home planet because they have no helmets, but Tim & Tam are wearing theirs. I’ve tried to have the AI create a form fitting helmet, but it could not understand my meaning so I had it create a helmet with a force field.

I think the next step was to want the various characters from several different universes to appear in the same image and this is where the AI added it’s interpretation, which is not what I would have done. The ugly spear toting aliens are shrunk by the AI to a very small stature. That is probably because the AI didn’t interpret from the original image that these aliens were smaller because they were further down the mountain as they were pursuing Tim & Tam. But I liked it.

Interesting how the Little Village People (no pun intended) both men & women wore the same helmets, but with women adorning their helmets with flowers. One of the women isn’t wearing a helmet, but a scarf.

Note in the image where the houses of the LVP take on the same shape of their helmets. In fact you might also say that the houses look with big little people wearing helmets. And apparently the LVP work as miners and their homes are underground.

I don’t think that a warrior should carry both a spear and a saber, but I’m not going to fight the AI too much on this. It looks like from the AI generated images of the troops being marched along the Village street that the commander grabs a flag and walks with it. Also, the AI generated a hand motion in which it appears that the commander is directing some of his men off in a direction. These two images work together because there are fewer troops following him in the second pic. A natural thought that as he is walking through the street he is delegating positions for his men.

Now Aurelia Solis, not her name at all from the first, started out as a character from some other book cover and at first the AI put her in a more police type of uniform (blue with black highlights and a badge of sorts). But, I changed her outfit immediately to a gold suit with shorts. The AI produced a great rendition and we were never going back to the more mundane outfit. Although, I might think that as a back story, her other uniform was from earlier days in which she was eventually promoted to a Queen of the Golden Sun Goddess.

I zoomed in on the Golden Goddess and asked AI to give me some input as to what she might be called. It did not come up with Aurelia Solis as an option, but offered that Aurelia meant “golden” and in another possible name, that Solis meant “sun.” And that was enough for me to name her “Aurelia Solis,” representing the “Queen of the Golden Sun.” She is wearing a bunch of gold. Her winged helmet or crown screams “I am a goddess.”

Now originally there were two robots standing on either side of her. This was not a full length view of any of them, but I went on to get a full length view and one of the robots was a cyclops (which I liked). I actually had her stand on the shoulders of one who is also standing on the other robot. I then had her playing “leap frog” over them, but it might be interpreted as the pyramid falling down.

Who are the three women that are meeting, and seemingly forming a pact by their pancaked hands? Aurelia Solis who we know nothing about other than her name. The woman in blue is loosely based on Crystal, who is the love interest of Space Angel. She never looked this good in the 1960s TV show, but shapely and I like her hair. And finally the alien in burgundy who I think originally was a female Space Ranger. I had Crystal and this woman help Tim and Tam as they were being attacked on a space ship, or planet by several large fish type creatures, who appear to be able to walk with extended tentacles.

But, as a further extension of the story, the two women are found attacking a ferocious Werewolf and once he is dead we find that he was actually Tim.

What has brought these three women together on the tarmac? What is their league to the Little Village People and what about the Dapper dressed hen in glasses? Will it be baked chicken on some table in the Little Village tonight?

I had the AI create a pulp sci fi fiction cover for “Aurelia Solis Makes a Pact” in a 1950s style and then put that book on a table in the back yard. No telling what adventure or adventures await these women.

And another question comes to mind after I had Aurelia Solis meet Space Angel. He, having to wear a helmet in her native environment. If sex is possible, how do two alien creatures get together when one of them can’t breath the air of the other? And, would an offspring even be possible? Could it breath without an apparatus in both realms?
