THE MAN WHO CHECKED IN

A first for me..... I collaborated with AI to write this story, and create the artwork. Yes, it is similar to my Army/Navy story but I was interested in what AI could do. Let me know what you think.

AI SUMMARY (A uniform can make a stranger believable.)

Michael Bates, a young naval officer, is drugged and replaced by Tommy Williams, an ex-con who looks exactly like him. Tommy steals Michael's uniforms, car, devices, tattoo, ring, and identity, slowly convincing everyone that he is the real Lieutenant Michael Bates while the actual Michael is hidden away and erased from his own life.

King George V

George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936.

George was born during the reign of his paternal grandmother, Queen Victoria, as the second son of the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra). He was third in the line of succession to the British throne behind his father, and his elder brother, Prince Albert Victor. From 1877 to 1892, George served in the Royal Navy, until his elder brother's unexpected death in January 1892 put him directly in line for the throne. The next year George married his brother's former fiancée, Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, and they had six children. When Queen Victoria died in 1901, George's father ascended the throne as Edward VII, and George was created Prince of Wales. He became king-emperor on his father's death in 1910.

Robert Heriot Barclay as a Royal Navy lieutenant, aged 19 years in 1805. He was present at the Battle of Trafalgar aboard HMS Swiftsure.

In 1809 he lost his left arm while leading a boarding attack against a French convoy. After his recovery he found himself in the Great Lakes region: commanding the squadron on Lake Erie that would be defeated by Oliver Hazard Perry.

This later portrait of him is more familiar:

To be honest, I couldn't come up with much of a blurb for this one shockingly >w< -- this is a piece I've wanted to draw for a very long time, since I think Soviet naval uniforms look really neat. Sorry to anybody who can read Russian if A. my writing is horrendous and B. if it's horribly wrong, I let Google do the driving XwX;;

This was really satisfying to finally do though, I hope to do a few more uniforms soon, but I also have some other stuff to work on ^^

Cheers~!
