Post an AI picture of Enya. (2 Viewers)

[disneyteletubby]

Edit: wow page 50!

a Patrick Nagel portrait

Spoiler: Input images

Both from around 1987 (that silkscreen print photoshoot photographer Russell Young)

1984-85 picture

And one of the recent photos (April 2026)

Looking at the camera (glad it got the resemblance right)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Not my generated images but interesting. I'm seeing more resemblance to Laura Branigan somehow.

Spoiler: This in particular

That moment of scenery in dull weather and her wearing a neutral top

I often think of this song as an Only Time predecessor (but Enya's is more optimistic despite the 'let go of relationships if they aren't working' sentiment)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Apparently said mum once had to rescue Florence Welch from a sex swing at Enya’s castle.

GPT got worried when I asked

Spoiler: not about the story haha but the image idea

but did generate an innocent swing scene, circa 2008.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Again not mine but someone did Enya as WonderWoman

Spoiler: A GIF

I find it annoying that most new YouTube videos seem to be AI, both thumbnails and music content, but this fascinated me:

^Kind of interesting and footage was real (Only Time, So I Could Find My Way)

Other nice-ish thumbnails

^A similar but more realistic one I saw earlier, trying to find again

2nd based on Anywhere Is but I thought that was a James Blunt song haha (carry you home)

Nice scenery anyway 🖼

 

[disneyteletubby]

Wait this is the one (looks realistic, and sounds alike )
3:44 is quite interesting musically


These (same channel) sound like Enya too, and quite pretty tunes:

 

[disneyteletubby]

(Referring to the Cliff Richard song, how Enya won a music award there and Cliff presented it, and her almost literally fulfilling the lyric. )

Spoiler: Enya in France; other singing clips:)

AI cover younger En, not perfect haha but cute


2018 clip in Irish (l-r Enya's sisters Deirdre, Brídín and Olive of course!) It seems she's mostly talking about those old Eurovision songs; the latter two singing Cliff and I've yet to discover that the groovy other song that they sang towards the end.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Spoiler: That water fountain

The TikTok has since been removed but here's the fountain!

Quite sure this was by Roma's sister Michèle (2000 interview in the castle)

Circa 2006 or late 2000s; seemed to do the same pose as her niece haha

Spoiler: Apparently it thought this was discriminatory 😅

I see why but didn't mean it like that, just for a different pose without the glass, and spotless rock.

By night

And this was supposed to be early 2000s her presenting it

 

[disneyteletubby]

These first two were from February on Nightcafé (and seemingly set in autumn )

That burnt orange lipstick is quite nice for En

This evolved with a different model; the smoothness is sort of nice but she's giving EastEnders character a little bit

Compared to Gemini or ChatGPT the resemblance is hardly there but nice enough results.

 

[disneyteletubby]

For some reason I imagine En as of Shepherd Moons (early 90s) sitting in/besides a bathtub (either one in the penthouse) and contemplating.

 

[disneyteletubby]

With a more painting-like art style, interesting manicures and Roma's writing.

Roma's handwriting sample input

 

[disneyteletubby]

Embracing a ghostly feminine figure (Orinoco Flow look input)

And one I made today; not intentionally more like Shepherd Moons but similar colours

(It didn't let it look exactly like the film poster of Ghost though haha)

 

[disneyteletubby]

That one came from this colourisation

Spoiler: Original/input

Rather than a lock of hair I think it's a large earring, if not the overlay

And for this,

Spoiler: Enya 1988, presumably in London outside the Orinoco Miloco studios

I couldn't choose, but I think the 2nd looks more natural

 

[disneyteletubby]

I wish Enya's later albums had cassette versions. Dark Sky Island would look and sound awesome.

That's a big cassette box.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I might've shared this before

Spoiler

(and this, though I don't think she looks like Enya that much, inspired the outfit: )
Yawning

and that inspired this (just asked for 4 by 3 of random expressions)

Then I asked to make it with her in this outfit (colourised)

Spoiler: Real photo of En that remains one of my favourites

plus more playful and natural for a 24-year-old in 1985:

(next time I'll get it to be more music related )

 

[disneyteletubby]

From late October; I tried to make it like "The Story of Tracy Beaker" and just about got Nick Sharratt's illustration style with AI.

(slight colour edit)

And this (from a few months ago) inspired by one of Tracy and a 1985 photo

And the dungarees/overalls look of course with a guide for colours (didn't use this colourised version but similar)

Spoiler: A voiceover script (also AI)

Shaney is Roma (as in Roma Shane; middle name) and Dom is Nicky (Nicholas Dominick)

I'm Trisha Brennan. I'm 20 years old, and I've got a plan.

Well... I've got most of a plan.

It's 1981, and I grew up with three older siblings who thought they knew everything. Which was annoying, because they usually did. Every time I said I wanted to make music, they'd tell me to get a proper job, be realistic, think sensible.

So I did the sensible thing.

I left.

Now I live with Shaney and Dom, their three-year-old daughter, and a second-hand synthesiser that's seen better days.

But that's not the point.

The point is, I know what I want.

I want to write music. I want people to hear it. I want my name on posters and album covers and festival stages.

Easy, right?

Okay... maybe not.

The thing is, I work best on my own.

Just me, my synthesiser, and a room where nobody's telling me what I should be doing with my life.

That's why I sold my saxophone to help get the loan for a studio in the back garden.

It wasn't exactly an easy decision.

I loved that saxophone.

But a proper studio?

That felt like the future.

And anyway, now I've got somewhere to disappear to whenever inspiration strikes.

Usually at two in the morning.

Luckily, I've got Shaney.

Shaney says every great artist has to struggle before they succeed. Which is easy for her to say because she and Dom seem to have everything organised before the rest of us have even finished breakfast.

Still, she's brilliant.

And then there's Dom.

Dom thinks every problem can be solved with a cup of tea and a spreadsheet.

He's wrong.

Mostly.

But somehow he always manages to help anyway.

So that's us.

Me, chasing the dream.

Shaney, keeping me inspired.

Dom, keeping me from accidentally setting my life on fire.

And their daughter, making sure none of us take ourselves too seriously.

Will I become a famous musician?

Will my siblings finally admit I was right?

Will I ever finish a recording without changing my mind halfway through?

This is my story.

The story of Trisha Brennan.

Trisha Brennan Returns...

Spoiler: A 3D-ish version, and the 2011 picture that inspired her look 🧡

Spoiler: Another voiceover script:

(AI after this bit)
A 2011-style follow-up, with the same direct-to-camera Tracy Beaker energy but older, wiser, and still unmistakably Trisha:

I'm Trisha Brennan.

And yes, before you ask, I'm still doing things my own way.

Some people spend their lives trying to figure out who they are.

I spent mine trying to convince everybody else I already knew.

Turns out, I was right.

Mostly.

When I was twenty, I left home with a synthesiser, a head full of ideas and absolutely no clue what I was doing.

Now it's 2011.

I'm fifty years old.

I've made records.

I've travelled the world.

I've met famous people.

I've met ridiculous people.

Sometimes they were the same people.

And somehow, despite every prediction made by my brothers and sisters, I survived.

Speaking of which...

Having four brothers and four sisters isn't always easy.

Trust me.

There are still family arguments that started sometime around 1969.

But these days, there are nieces and nephews everywhere.

Birthdays, school plays, graduations, family parties...

Half the time I can't remember who's related to who.

I just know I love them all.

As for husbands?

Never had one.

Children?

Never had those either.

Never really wanted them.

I always liked having the freedom to disappear for six months with a keyboard and a notebook if inspiration struck.

And it usually did.

The funny thing is, people always acted like being on your own was something sad.

But I was never on my own.

I had friends.

I had family.

I had music.

And honestly?

That was more than enough.

These days I'm taking a bit of time away from recording.

Not forever.

Just long enough to remember why I loved it in the first place.

Because every now and then I'll hear a melody in my head.

Or find an old notebook.

Or sit down at a piano for five minutes...

And suddenly it's 1981 all over again.

That feeling never really leaves you.

So who knows?

Maybe there's another album waiting to be made.

Maybe there are still a few songs left to write.

After all...

I've spent fifty years proving people wrong.

No point stopping now.

I'm Trisha Brennan.

And this is still my story.

Amazing story of Trisha Brennan ️

 

[Enya Dearest]

Enya would definitely be surprised to find out she’s turned into Trisha Brennan. It sounds completely unusual, but lovely

 

[disneyteletubby]

Some interesting ones I found of her 3D animated



I quite like the idea of her in Wild Child (or any time in the early 2000s) being animated (with today's animation standard)

(clip here)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya occasionally bets (not on football) at the PaddyPower after this café in Dalkey.

 

[disneyteletubby]

The tracksuit idea is inspired by a real account:

How about a full tracksuit?
Quote from this 2011 article (edit: can also read here)

I imagined a woman saying this but AI went with some Irishman:

There seem to be two possibilities with the Dalkey café that existed in 2011

Sodium lampposts era (though I think she'd be wearing a coat, beret and scarf in the evening)

 

[Enya Dearest]

It's so sad there are no photos of Enya in tracksuits, but judging by your AI pictures, they look great on her

 

[Pipo]

Enya cosplaying as Glee's SUE SYLVESTER was not on my bingo card for 2026

That looks tasty what Greek delicacy was included in the prompt?

A humble spinach and cheese pie

 

[disneyteletubby]

Meanwhile I generated her and Roma at the chippy in 1985

(At a chippy/fish and chip shop usually it's takeaway; I sort of imagined the polystyrene boxes them taking orders, Enya gazing at an Italian lady at the counter whilst Roma takes the order, and them walking back in the evening/early morning, hanging around in the sitting room till it gets light outside. )

(It generated two versions:-)

(Based on a real takeaway place, walking distance from their old house in Artane, Dublin. Living room is similar too )

How do you feel about the rumors that Enya and Roma shared something deeper than just a friendship and professional partnership?

 

[disneyteletubby]

How do you feel about the rumors that Enya and Roma shared something deeper than just a friendship and professional partnership?

I feel completely fine about it, and happy for Enya and Roma.
Though if they were to publicly (in a TV interview for example) confirm it and talk a bit about it, I would also feel very shy on their behalf

Also I love how this (painting based on one of Enya's 1996 Beverly Hills photoshoot pictures) turned out

 

[disneyteletubby]

Meant for yesterday (24th June) but finally have some picture of Enya and both her goddaughters (and cats)

 

[disneyteletubby]

This single cover

The racy Amarantine era never fails. The queen's very own Erotic....a

Amarantin............e

(which is fine, but I wanted to see it a bit less airbrushed/more natural)

And a bit and fun

 

[disneyteletubby]

Re-imagined Amarantine (any better @jivafox @Suedehead @Zu ? )

 

[disneyteletubby]

I wanted to do one for A Day Without Rain but got this (only wanted succulent plants and drought haha)
View attachment 43484

It did generate these slightly cheeky cat ones though:

Spoiler

Can't say the face looks like her, but these were based on Dark Sky Island where Enya's lying down in the dark blue dress

and these inspired by Gina Lollobrigida:

Spoiler: 1950s picture of her in pink undergarments holding a long-haired cat

With a chemise inspired by her late 90s purple dress instead:

 

[disneyteletubby]

I wanted to do one for A Day Without Rain

Changing succulent plant to money plant (not the plant in mind depicted though ) generated these two:

Lily-of-the-valley in hand

 

[Enya Dearest]

Enya was watching Grand Hotel (1932)


also revisiting the media mentions of her being like Greta Garbo (which isn't entirely false, but is still amusing to her)
