A new pic using the Pixel 9 Pro Fold from my morning walk here in Dallas… I recently released the Pixel 9 Pro Fold review on the blog that you can check out if that sort of thing floats your boat. Still here in Texas for a while visiting the kids and relatives.

The Jewel Fairies with a little AI How-To background…

Ever wondered what happens when humans unlock ancient crystal harmonization secrets? Meet the Jewel Fairies, once ordinary people who transformed into radiant beings of light and power through their bond with mystical crystals. Each fairy, from Seraphine Emberveil with her fiery ruby powers to Eluna Solvex, a topaz-bonded astronomer who sees everything (yes, even the color smarnk), carries a unique story of transformation, abilities, and a touch of cosmic humor.

Curious to meet all the fairies, uncover their backstories, and learn their amazing abilities?

I used a combination of Midjourney for the images, Luma for the animation, and ChatGPT for some ideas around the descriptions and backstory ideas. The audio was created in Suno with their v4 AI.

Midjourney Sample Image Prompt:

Create an ethereal and fantastical jewel fairy, a humanoid figure adorned with intricate patterns of gemstones, crystals, and metallic textures. The fairy’s body is an elegant fusion of organic and crystalline elements, with radiant wings resembling stained glass or intricately carved gems, glowing softly with vibrant hues. The setting is a luminous, otherworldly realm filled with sparkling, bioluminescent plants, shimmering particles in the air, and a soft, dreamlike light. The fairy’s expression is serene and wise, with glowing eyes that reflect the colors of their unique crystal bond (ruby, sapphire, emerald, etc.). The overall style is highly detailed, surreal, and magical, emphasizing the fairy’s connection to nature, light, and energy.

My Pixel 9 Pro Fold Review

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Front Open
Well here’s a spoiler alert… the Google Pixel series of mobile phones are AWESOME! I’ve used them since the first model and consistently they’ve been best phones I’ve ever used. In recent generations there are two (or three… or now four, with a FIFTH rumoured!) different models with a couple being quite close in spec (mainly changing the size) and one being more budget orientated. Now of course, otherwise this article wouldn’t exist, there is a foldable model.

Check out my real-world review over here. And here is a little taster image to kick things off…
