Pole Star This came out pretty well as I was messing about with the various patterns which combine the two primary colors with a secondary color accent. In this case Red + Blue = Purple.

This is really great, a combo that I never would have tried.

I use "dynamic pose" frequently, which usually results in better action shots. Usually.

Her name is clearly Brasilia Waxoff. I mean, obviously.

This guy is terrific. No notes. 👍🏻

I really like these basic color combos you’ve come up with. This sort of thing is much more difficult to pull off than they appear. Vixenhawk in particular is an excellent use of color.

They will become heroes one day, but this afternoon they are having a tea party celebrating the fact they are all 10 years old. Left to right: Little Red Riding Hood, Jack Spriggins (soon of beanstalk fame), Hansel, Peter Pan, Goldilocks, Gretel, Alice Liddle (soon to travel to Wonderland) In front: Little Bad Cub Not what i asked for, but I can improvise: art station style, oil painting, sunny afternoon, English garden setting, children's tea party, Little Red Riding Hood age 10 with Goldilocks in green age 10 with Little Boy Blue age 10 with Alice in Wonderland age 10

I tried it but it wouldn’t let me click through. How do you do it?

Now that’s cool. I did upscale a screenshot of my character Li’l Thor, which was pretty impressive, but for some reason it left the face alone. Sure made his hammer shiny, though!

That’s mighty nice of you. I know printing these is a lot of work, and not an insignificant expense, so good on you for offering. 😎

You certainly got better results than I ever have from Playground. I find that program extremely aggravating.

Coincidentally last night I was trying to get the AI to generate 3 of my characters on the moon, one of them being Space Monkey from Live. Because I was again foolishly attempting 3 toons at once, the results were very not good. Yours are much better.

Look fellas, just watch me and you'll pick it up. The steps are easy, listen to the beat. And one, and two...

I had a hard time finding pics generated by Fooocus (what a stupid name), and most of what showed up looked Chinese, so I couldn't tell what they were talking about. Can you post more examples?

It’s 37 o’clock, time to rock!

Pretty much the same thing I've been doing with superheroes. Same cool and/or bonkers results. I Asked AI To Show Me What Animated Disney Movies Would Look As 1950s Live Action Films And The Results Are Truly Magical (msn.com)

Awkwarrrd. But we've all been on the receiving end of weird AI add-ons. Google Shuts Down AI Image Generator After It Made "Racially Diverse Nazis" (msn.com)

We play Dungeons & Dragons while they play Houses & Housecats.

This is the only one I liked and it’s also the only one where I asked for specific characters. All of the above were “hero wearing silver and blue versus villain wearing red and black playing (fill in game)”. This one was “Dr. Jekyll playing poker with Mr. Hyde.”

Why can’t we sit down like civilized people and solve our differences like adults? Best 2 out of 3? Heroes and villains playing poker, “boardgame”, D&D and Scrabble. Why it chose Spidey as a villain is a mystery.

Talk about falling down a rabbit hole, this was it for me last week. There’s a great passage in the classic Joe Haldeman novel The Forever War where the instructor talks about the evolution of combat armor, particularly how idiotic some of the designs were — Haldeman’s commentary on military hardware and egghead design, similar to the “Bangalore Torpedo” scene from The Big Red One: Anyway, I spent an inordinate amount of time goofing around with creating a fictional evolution of combat armor from steampunk to nanotech. This AI business is a trap! 😂

Same. For my Space Patrol series I found that “raygun” wasn’t acceptable but “laser rifle” was. Bizarrely and sometimes hilariously the program itself goes waaay over the line. When I was messing with the Facepunch fellows, I wanted some, y’know, face punching, but it didn’t like that. So I tried variations on punch/hit/strike etc and a couple of them were extremely bloody indeed. One pic featured two of the guys covered in gore while another had a guy smashing his fist through a werewolf’s cranium. Dial it back to PG, Sparky. I also wanted an “after the fight” pic where the hero is holding up a concussed villain by the front of his shirt. I feel like I’ve seen that a dozen times in comics and movies, like when Lou beats up Tyler in Fight Club. Boy-howdy did *that* prompt go off the rails.

It *really* doesn’t like the words “bull” or “cow”. Getting it to make any version of Irish Bull was a struggle. I don’t recall how I ended up with a pic at all, because trying words like “buffalo” or “bison” resulted in regular versions of those animals.

I’m starting to find that repetition is my friend when it comes to AI. In keeping with this topic, it requires a real belt-and-suspenders approach. That’s why I frequently include ridiculous phrases such as “white Caucasian”, “black African”, “female woman” or “male man” - otherwise it just doesn’t get it or has the computer version of ADD. In my attempt to get a proper jacket on Citizen Robot upthread I tried both tailored and bespoke, neither returning satisfactory pictures, but using “bespoke tailored” did. With Bing AI in particular I run afoul of its content warning constantly, and it makes no sense. For a couple weeks the word “zombie” was verboten. So I used “undead” instead. Then yesterday I forgot and used zombie again, and it was fine. When I was trying to get a picture of Skunk Punk I found that the phrase “skunk hero” resulted in constant rejection, but that “hero skunk” was a-ok. Like… wut? One of my anthropomorphic animals kept returning the warning, but the exact same prompt had just rendered. I kept pushing the button and every other time it produced a pic, followed by a rejection. Baffling.
