What If Your City Turned Dark Fantasy?

Hello readers and welcome to the first post in my ‘Dark City’ series. In this series I’ve used Gen AI to reimagine what cities around the world would look like in a dark fantasy setting. The images generated, while not maintaining an entirely correct layout, have captured key landmarks and certainly tweak the imagination.

I thought it appropriate to start here in Australia. So let me ask you…

‘What if Melbourne’s laneways hid more than graffiti? What if something ancient still walked them? What sort of foul creature would it be? Where would it lurk?’

Ponder these questions while you enjoy this deliciously dark Melbourne cityscape.

A dark fantasy style concept of Melbourne city. The image incorporates Flinders street station, placed on the banks of the Yarra. Cityscape in the background with an unnaturally coloured sky, mystic sigils on buildings, and creatures lurking like gargoyles on rooftops.

Next week I’ll be bringing Brisbane into the gloom to sate your dark desires.

Until then,

Happy reading!
