Alright, let me tell you about this Drew McIntyre rookie thing I messed around with. I saw some folks online talking about it, and I was like, “Eh, why not?” You know how it is, always looking for a new project to sink my teeth into.
So, first thing I did was hit up YouTube. Gotta get the lowdown, right? I watched a bunch of videos on how people were creating these “rookie” looks for Drew McIntyre. Some were using face editing apps, others were going all-in with AI tools. I’m not gonna lie, some of them looked kinda creepy, but a few were pretty convincing.
I decided to try a face editing app on my phone first. Figured it’d be the easiest way to start. I downloaded one that had a “younger” filter, and then found a decent picture of Drew online. Slapped the filter on, and BAM! It kinda looked like him, but also kinda looked like a baby version of a wrestler. Not exactly what I was going for.
Next, I started playing around with some AI image generators. This was a bit more complicated. You gotta give the AI a good prompt, tell it what you want it to create. I tried a bunch of different prompts like “Drew McIntyre rookie,” “young Drew McIntyre wrestler,” “Drew McIntyre teenager.” Some of the results were hilarious. One of them looked like Drew cosplaying as Harry Potter. Another one looked like he belonged in a boy band.
I kept tweaking the prompts, trying to get something that looked more realistic. I learned that the key is to be specific. Instead of just saying “Drew McIntyre rookie,” I started adding details like “Drew McIntyre teenager, wrestling training, early 2000s.” That helped a lot.
Eventually, after a bunch of tries, I got a few images that I was actually pretty happy with. They didn’t look perfect, but they definitely looked like a younger, less grizzled version of Drew. I messed around with the colors and lighting a bit in Photoshop to make them look even better.
- First, I gathered reference images.
- Then, I experimented with different filters and AI prompts.
- Next, I refined the generated images in Photoshop.
The whole thing took me a few hours, but it was kinda fun. I learned a lot about how these face editing and AI tools work. And I ended up with some pretty cool images that I can share with my wrestling buddies.
Would I do it again? Maybe. It depends on who I’m trying to make look like a rookie next. But for now, I’m pretty satisfied with my Drew McIntyre experiment.
Final Thoughts
It was a fun little project to mess around with. The results were mixed, but I learned a few things along the way. If you’re looking for a way to kill some time and get creative, I recommend giving it a shot. Just don’t expect to create a perfect, photorealistic image. It’s all about having fun and seeing what you can come up with.
