Google AI -- Creating images

Google now lets you generate images from their search page for free (apparently since July 14th, 2026) -- using Nano Banana 2 Lite -- if you are signed into Google apparently:

"Create images"

with a prompt on Google's search page

So I asked Google to generate a "Figure drawing in the style of drawings on krrrl.blogspot.com/."  I don't think Google respected my style very much:

Google

"Figure drawing in the style of drawings on krrrl.blogspot.com/"

At least my name is spelled right

I then uploaded the Google result into KREA to further develop the figures with AI, from an AI model trained on my drawings:

Then I asked Google to put clothes on the KREA generations:

I then animated the image in Midjourney:
