AI Image Creation
Where VFX precision meets generative AI
With over 25 years spent chasing photorealism on feature films and streaming productions,
I now apply that same eye to generative AI.
My workflow is built around ComfyUI with Flux,
Z-Image-Turbo and Nano Banana — custom node graphs tuned
for cinematic lighting, accurate skin response, and commercial-grade colour reproduction.
Every image below is a deliberate creative and technical decision, not a lucky prompt.
What I Use AI For
Not experimentation — applied production craft.
Look Development
Rapid iteration on colour, lighting and mood — the same decisions I make in Nuke or DaVinci Resolve, but with generative feedback loops that compress weeks into hours.
Concept & Pitch Visuals
Pre-production imagery, moodboards and client-facing pitch decks that communicate a visual direction before a single frame is shot or rendered.
Pipeline & Tooling
Beyond prompting: I build and extend workflows in ComfyUI, and develop tools that integrate AI into production pipelines — including PowerFolio, my character-sheet application for film & TV.
Character Consistency
Custom LoRA training — not just generation.
Same character. Different scene.
I train custom LoRA models on specific characters — meaning Peter and Laura
remain recognisably themselves across lighting conditions, outfits, angles and narratives.
No 3D asset. No model agency. A trained model and a ComfyUI graph.
What this means for production: a recognisable character across a pitch deck, an animatic, a lookbook — without a shoot, without a rig, without an NDA conflict.
Built for the Work
The horsepower to run full-scale models locally — when that matters.
Eizo 4K
Calibrated reference display. Every pixel, colour-accurate.
RTX 5090 · 32 GB VRAM
Full-scale model inference at maximum resolution. Locally.
Ryzen 9 9950X3D · 16-Core
AMD's fastest desktop CPU. Parallel pipelines without bottlenecks.
192 GB RAM
Headroom for the heaviest multi-model and batch workflows.
The Stack
From first prompt to final grade — every stage of the pipeline, covered.
I also build the tools.
PowerFolio is a character profile sheet application for film, TV and games production. Unlike the generation tools, PowerFolio itself never touches a server — no uploads, no account. NDA-safe by design. Use it with photography, concept art, scanned drawings, or AI-generated characters. Entirely your choice.
