Krea enhanced, to varying degrees of success.

‘It was part of the Free AI thread:

Second set of smaller breasts? Interesting that it gave her boots but then put toes on the left one.

In that top pic she looks Liza Weil who played Paris Gellar on Gilmore Girls.

It did the same thing with the open hand that it did to one of mine, Gato Blanco, turning it around to be fingers in a pseudo-fist. I forgot to post the ones I did last night after the server crashed. I’ll pop over to my PC in a bit.

Had to happen eventually I suppose.

This has to be the single best transformation of all. Synthesizing the necessary kludges we have to do to approximate the look we’re going for into a cohesive whole that just looks right is amazing. This with your “flayed” Stalker really shows the program’s abilities. Are you changing the parameters on Krea’s sliders?

The revamped Dread Vilda. Bing AI version and Krea enhanced version. Krea made her chain mail green for some reason, even after I told it to use silver.

Enhancing villains. Krea could not understand Dr. Vahzilok, even after I added that he was wearing a surgical mask and a head mirror. Clamor was cleaned up, but when I added "maniacal grin" it made a creepy version that's pretty close.

Lady Vampyre in Steel Canyon Krea Enhanced photo which OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED. Apparently Player2 used up all the talent because this is very very wrong. Apparently it was channeling that Spanish woman who ruined the fresco of Jesus a few years back.

Also did a few more Dread Vilda shots. (I think I’m going to remake her to be less Red Sonja and more her own thing. Maybe white or very pale blonde hair to start.) Prompt: “Epic fantasy, an ancient tomb lit by torches, action scene, dynamic pose, a warrior woman like Red Sonja wielding a sword and fighting off mummies” DeviantArt just completely ignored the “fighting mummies” part, but the photo realistic renderings are freakishly good. Once again Bing gave me two Caucasian and two African versions of the character, and I really like the Nubian Warrior Princess version of Vilda. I’m definitely going to make a character based on that, especially since there were real-world all-female warriors in West Africa: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahomey_Amazons Real life Dora Milaje from Black Panther! Bing AI: DA AI:

I used Bing AI and DeviantArt’s AI to render a mouse character using the exact same prompt and the results were sub-optimal, but DA’s was especially bad. Unlike Bing where you can still render scenes after your credits run out, DA cuts you off. Bing is 15 credits a day, DA is 10 credits a week. The shield really confounded both of them. Bing kept sticking Coke bottles in the scene, so I leaned into that after a while. Prompt: “art station style, watercolor, a tiny mouse warrior wearing an acorn helmet, wielding a sewing needle and holding a metal soda pop bottle top as a shield” Altered prompt: “watercolor, a tiny mouse warrior wearing an acorn helmet, holding a needle as well as holding a metal Coca-Cola bottle-top lid as a shield” After endless iterations I finally got something close to what I was after from Bing: DeviantArt never even got near the neighborhood: The best versions. I also later gave up on the shield idea and had the mouse riding a bird, first a house wren and the a cardinal, but it never really worked.

I was away from my PC yesterday and was goofing around with both Krea and Bing on my iPad. I wanted to try Krea on some of my pulp-inspired heroes, but all I had were quick photos I took of the monitor for use as costume references when making related characters, so the characters are distorted. Gave them a go anyway and they kind of turned out okay. Later today I’ll use actual in-game screenies. Soul Sister Masked Lark Ace Club

Looks super cool though.

Pushing it back towards manga really helps it. The exaggerated facial features stay out of the uncanny valley that way.

This one really looks great.

Curious how it sometimes adds the glowing line to the boots. Just interpreting the reflection, I guess.

Dread Vilda as interpreted by Bing AI. I used the same simple prompt each time, just switching out the location and enemy. ”Art station style, epic fantasy, [location], a warrior woman similar to Red Sonja is wielding a sword and fighting [enemy]” I did about a dozen variations, but here’s the gist. There’s a hint of Horizon: Forbidden Dawn in some, but overall I liked the results. It’ll be nice when we can get persistent characters in various scenes.

My character Dread Vilda with the standard setting in Krea. The auto-generated description was half accurate and half not, but it came out fine. “In this image, there are three panels featuring a Sim dressed as Red Sonja. The Sim is standing in a grassy field and is wearing a bikini, a corset, and knee-high boots. The bikini and corset are silver with metallic details, and the Sim is also wearing arm bracer armor on their arms. The Sim has short, orange hair and is holding a sword in each hand.‘

That hair is incredible. And I’m stunned the gun came out right. You’d think of all things that would really confound it.

It’s also odd how Krea insists on adding belly buttons. It seems to be interpreting tights as both clothes and skin simultaneously. However, a year from now this thing will be making these talk, so weirdness on the way is to be expected.

I have to say, Player2 is getting some great results with Krea.

She ended up looking a lot like Aubrey Plaza.

Wow, that came out great.
