| Mitchell - The Outlaw's Prisoner |
The Sheriff pursuing the outlaw has fallen into a trap himself
and as night falls he finds out that the outlaw's threat to 'finish him off'
didn't mean quite what he had imagined it to mean.
This is one of my earliest images as you might guess from the serial number. The narrative above is (almost word for word) what I wrote on the back of it all those years ago (don't ask!). I have refined it for this post with some small anatomical corrections plus the addition of some shrubbery and a night sky which was part of my original vision but left to the viewer's imagination in the sketch. I also wanted there to be a campfire somewhere too, but there's not really enough room for it.

| Mitchell - The Outlaw's Prisoner (cartoonised variant 1) |
On this occasion the AI cartooniser produced a very acceptable result,
I was pleased with the shrubbery and outlaw's new face
although the 'Oriental wink' is not really a mitchmen thing
and he really ought to be concentrating on what he's doing!

There were a couple of other, pretty quirky results that came out of the cartooniser,
both of them dropped the cowboy theme but produced some unexpectedly sexy imagery.

| Mitchell - The Outlaw's Prisoner (fantasised variant 2) |
This variant shows how randomly the cartooniser sees the imagery that is given to it. I don't roam the lands of fantasy much, but I love what it has done to the captured sheriff here, transforming him into a muscular, collared slave wearing a skimpy tattered thong, harem-like loose pants and with a decorative chain draped round his ass, assigning him a false femininity that is quite sexy. His captor has also acquired a nice, muscled physique but the sticking point with both characters is their boyish faces, the ex-outlaw's one being absurdly so. I have tweaked his eyes so he looks less feminine and more focussed on his captive but he needs to get a chin!
Elsewhere, the horse could have had a place in the original cowboy scenario if I was that way inclined but the other two gratuitous additions don't have any place here at all. If I could get rid of them this would be a remarkable reinterpretation of my original sketch. On the face of it this image looks as if it's very little to do with my original drawing, but astonishingly, if the two are shrunk to thumbnails and placed next to each other (as in File Explorer) it's almost impossible to tell them apart.

| Mitchell - The Outlaw's Prisoner (fantasised variant 3) |
This variant has preserved the two character scenario and deposited the two men in a lush tropical garden rather that the arid scrubland of my original. This romantic slant is not totally absent from my drawing and it's accentuated further by the hand placed on the captive's head (not to mention the extra one under his arm pit!).
Once again the captive is cast as a slave with similar embellishment to his physique and a slightly more masculine but still sexy thong. In variant 2 the outlaw's groping hand became disconnected from the groin of his captive but there's a sexy impression here of it fishing inside his briefs and the captive's gaze has switched from the face of his 'tormentor' in variant 2 to focus here on what his phallic arm is up to.
The faces of both men are slightly less boyish in this version, but the treatment of the captor's eye's is quite bizarre for a supposedly 'intelligent' piece of software. I have tried to 'fix' them manually but it requires more skill that I have and anyway I'd rather have a masculine face like the first variant.
There's a more subtle alteration in this variant that makes it more than just a chocolate box reinterpretation of my drawing. The captive's left leg is doubled back and tied to the underside of his thigh, the knee area needs tidying but it's a kinky invention I didn't expect but thoroughly approve of!
