Mainstream publications featuring a woman in a leg cast |
Since the quality of any illustrative material found in these publications is poor to non-existent we have decided to use AI technology to enhance them. This is a very hit & miss process with hundreds & hundreds of image generations being rejected along the way. In some cases, we may pick an interim image to complete the job with the intention of replacing it with an improved version in the future. |

Don't know anything about this one. Could not find full text online. |

Nothing to Cheer About |
Teen novel. The text states she fell off a motorcycle. We think the result would be more like this: |
|
|
Nurse |
Whilst the girl on the cover is obviously too young, I am including it from a philosopical perspective. When I first saw this book, I would have been roughly that girls age and found her attractive although with no clue as to why. There is no other cast content as I recall. It was quite a long time ago! |

Sweet Audrina |
Don't know much about this one. Not even sure if it's in English as the cover title would be French? |
|
|
The Bell Jar |
Unfortunately we could only find one brief cast reference in the book which was a pity since it is freely available in the public domain: details here. |
|
|
The Boggart |
Don't know much about this one other than the cover looks promising. |
|
|

A bit more reference to a girl with broken ankle in this one: full text link. |

Up the Staircase Backwards
Not a clickable link - see notes. |
The quintessential cast enthusiasts book albeit a little heavy on the religion. We never liked the little knobs sticking out of the cast so we eliminated them, made the foot of her cast more proportional, added toes and finally made the cast full leg. There are line drawings scattered throughout the book and we decided to improve upon them along with adding a few to scenes that lacked them! We're not entirely satisfied with all the images yet so shall update them as better ones can be made & time allows.
We're not sure if we want the title for this one clickable as it will draw too much attention from 'bots, so to access the full book, for now, one will need to manually replace 'books' in the URL bar at the top of the browser screen with 'upbackindex' to access.
For the new colour version one will need to replace 'books' in the URL bar with: 'upbackcolour' (note spelling)
Both of these editions are still a work in progress as we try find the best way to convey to the image software the scenarios described in the book. Some are much easier than others (as there are concepts such as a walking cast or autographed cast it just doesn't seem to get), so if an image is not as good as it could be, please bear with us! The form at the bottom of the page can be used to submit suggestions or even images/prompts!
