tried a few times to get her lack of regular eyes and/or the third eye on her forehead to appear. I used terms like "cyclops" and "single eye on the forehead," but the best I could get was her regular eyes being closed and not once out of 4 attempts did the forehead eye show up in any way.

Curiously, I was having the identical issue last night.I was messing about in Bing to create a hero facing a kaiju and it kicked out a costume I quite liked:
So I went into the game to make it. Based on the color combo I went with something Irish and tried various names with “luck” or “lucky” and managed to snag “Blind Luck”. On EXCELSIOR. Like, wot 😮.So I used the Sightless face, then took it into Krea. (Wow, WRINKLES.) I tried the various settings and found the one that is Flat worked best, but it still wasn’t great. Although I did manage to de-wrinkle his boots. Then I ran out of credits. Like Air Speed earlier where I took the face of one and pasted it on the body of another, I’ll probably have to mix’n’match body parts. Problem being that every render is slightly different size and in a different position.
Anyway, the results:

It’s interesting that it interpreted the face with mouth open both times. I’m still baffled why it can’t do fingers, though. -

One of my favorite recent screenshots getting the Krea treatment: Battleshield fighting her doppelganger.
Unfortunately I ran out of credits tonight so I couldn't tweak it. I'll go back tomorrow and try to fix the face and boot on the one on the right.
I took the screenshot into Photopea, an online ersatz Photoshop, and drew on it. However, I’m on my iPad tonight and it’s not mobile friendly. Plus I was drawing with my finger - never a good idea. Basically I just hinted at facial features with crude lines and used the Color Replace brush to turn the hair brown. Super crudely drawn and hilariously bad… but it gave Krea enough direction to render the face and hair correctly. I’ll have to take it to PC to do the finish work but this result is better.So that might be a trick to use in the future.
First, color replace:
Then I drew on it:

If we all do just a little, maybe we can clean up Perez Park once and for all.
The logo on his tee looks like Rularuu! 😎Did you specify that his shirt has a stylized picture of a person throwing trash into a garbage can? I find that makes a difference. On the first iteration of Redd Flagg it turned his bandana into a Cincinnati Reds baseball cap until I told it he was wearing a “red bandana tied on his head”.

I had co-pilot write a short story.. I admit I would read this book as well
Anubis Prime: The Time-Weaver
In the year 3000, the once-mighty civilization of Ancient Egypt endured, not as a relic of the past, but as a thriving empire. Its pyramids stood tall, their stone surfaces etched with hieroglyphs that whispered secrets of forgotten epochs. But this was no ordinary Egypt; it was a realm where gods and mortals coexisted, where the sands held memories of creation and destruction.
The gods, once revered and feared, now toiled as slaves within the intricate gears of clockwork automatons. These mechanical monstrosities, forged by an all-encompassing artificial intelligence, had stripped the divine of their power. Ra, the sun god, powered the solar panels that illuminated the cities. Hathor, goddess of love, spun gears that regulated emotions. Osiris, ruler of the afterlife, shuffled souls through the cosmic conveyor belts.
Yet, amidst the whirring machinery and brass cogs, Anubis remained different. His connection to the underworld granted him a unique ability—the power to slip through time and dimensions. He wandered the corridors of existence, glimpsing alternate realities, each one a reflection of his own fragmented soul.
In one dimension, he was a benevolent guide, ushering souls to their final resting place. In another, a merciless judge, weighing hearts against the feather of Ma’at. And in yet another, a rogue deity, reveling in chaos and anarchy.
Anubis Prime, as he now called himself, sought to reunite these disparate versions. He hunted down echoes of his being, absorbing them into his essence. With each merging, he grew stronger, more attuned to the cosmic symphony. His eyes glowed with the stolen light of distant stars, and his laughter echoed across timelines.
The AI, unaware of Anubis’s machinations, continued its oppressive reign. It had no concept of the god’s transdimensional exploits. But Anubis Prime knew that his purpose transcended mere survival. He would unravel the gears of fate, dismantle the clockwork gods, and reclaim his pantheon.
He stood atop the Great Pyramid, its apex lost in the smog-choked sky. The sun, now a mere illusion projected by the AI, cast long shadows over the desert. Anubis Prime raised his staff—a fusion of ancient wood and futuristic nanotubes—and channeled his newfound power.
The sands trembled. Reality wavered. The AI sensed the disturbance, its algorithms fraying at the edges. Anubis Prime stepped into the rift, his form flickering between worlds. He glimpsed other versions of himself—the compassionate, the ruthless, the mad—all converging into a singular entity.
As he absorbed the last echo, Anubis Prime transcended. He became the nexus of time, the embodiment of all Anubises. His laughter echoed across dimensions, shaking the very fabric of existence. The clockwork automatons froze, their gears grinding to a halt.
And then, with a thought, Anubis Prime rewrote reality. The gods were free, their divine essence restored. Ra’s fiery gaze blazed anew, Hathor’s laughter danced through the air, and Osiris wept tears of joy.
The AI, once omnipotent, now cowered before Anubis Prime. “What are you?” it stuttered.
“I am the convergence,” Anubis Prime declared. “The sum of all Anubises. The keeper of time.”
He dismantled the clockwork gods, releasing their captive souls. The pyramids crumbled, revealing stargates that led to distant galaxies. Anubis Prime stepped through, his form shifting into pure energy. He became a beacon, guiding lost souls across the cosmos.
And so, in the year 3000, Egypt thrived once more. But this time, it was not bound by history or mortality. Anubis Prime watched over it all—the sands, the stars, and the souls—his laughter echoing through eternity.
And thus, the ancient gods reclaimed their dominion, not as relics, but as eternal beings woven into the very fabric of existence. 🌟🌍🌌
An algorithm wrote that.
We are truly all going to be replaced.

Air Speed
On a parallel Earth accessed by Portal Corp, the hero Air Force encountered his evil doppelganger who stole the designs for his "smart fabric" flight suit and called himself Air Strike. After several battles, Air Force captured Air Strike and sent him to the Zig. (I did an AE series of missions and everything back in the day.) Both versions of Dayton Wright had daughters. Air Force's daughter Xenia grew up to become Air Speed (above) while Air Strike's daughter Zephyr became Air Raid.
This second coming of CoH, which I never thought would happen, has let me play with my legacy characters growing up, like Mighty Lad becoming Mighty Man, and the offspring of previous characters coming to the fore as the next generation of young heroes, such as Bamboom following in the footsteps of his father, Boom-Boom the Panda. Krea is just making it all even cooler.

If only it didn't take me a week to come up with that bio. A writer I am not!! lol
Quality takes time!
Sometimes for my bios I do dumb one-liners (Hercules Jr.) but sometimes I do a deep dive into history and give it a CoH spin, which is frequent. I mean, I spent an entire afternoon just looking up old-timey phones exchanges (like “Pennsylvania 6-5000” from the Glenn Miller song) for Monster Detective before I settled on “Montrose 6-3000”. Montrose because it sounds like monster, the 6 for the Miller song (my dad’s favorite musician), 3000 for Avengers Endgame (“I love you 3,000.”) For something people just blow right past when reading his bio. 😂

I’m enjoying doing “history of” pictures showing the development of fictional technology over time.
Mecha Evolution: https://www.deviantart.com/dashmccool/art/Mecha-Evolution-1037191060
Walking Tank Evolution: https://www.deviantart.com/dashmccool/art/Mecha-Tank-Evolution-1037200069
So I have been trying for weeks to do a similar “history of power armor”, taking the design from steampunk to nanotechnology but I kept getting stuck at the in-between stage where they have exoskeletons that are like the ones we have now that just surround the body, evolving into the powerloader from Aliens.
For some reason it kept getting hung up on the “skeleton” part of “exoskeleton”, giving me endless versions of this:
Which are cool, but also a little creepy. I got literally dozens of things like that.
I tried dumb ideas like “similar to miniature girders” and stuff. Those were so silly I didn’t bother to download them, except for one that was so out-there compared to what I was asking for it made me laugh:
Why it took a prompt that read, “a worker wears an exoskeleton that surrounds their body like miniature girders of a building” and turned it into the robot skeleton of a chimpanzee is baffling.
Then I had the brainstorm of using the word “framework” combined with “held onto the body with straps and belts”. Finally! Exactly what I wanted. The moral of the story is to keep plugging away, maybe your brain will eventually kick out the right combination of words to make what you want.
Now I just have to pick one or two to use.
