Say, howsabout stripes and patterns on the full masks that replicate the ones on Chest and Legs? Like this one for instance: Edit: for the curious, this is an AI generated character from a discussion over on the AI Generative Art thread.

So what prompts did you use to get this look? I find that trying "watercolor" and the like don't return what I'm after.

Oh no, it was VERY stable. If by by "stable" you mean "turned off".

I downloaded Easy Diffusion and it really messed up my PC. Couldn’t even play CoH without crashing. Had to uninstall and defrag to get everything working properly again.

This is my favorite of all the ones you’ve done. It really looks like Atls Paark or Taos Isand. 😛 Seriously, though, drop in some actual text over that and it would be a terrific poster. It’s so,weird how the AI can’t spell, yet keeps trying to.

I tried several times to do an AI version of my mutant Mr. Magma, a guy who became a living volcano when he was assisting some scientists on a tropical island. (Sorry, currently 850 miles away from my computer so I don’t have the screenshot of his bio.) I asked for his skin to be basalt and lava and the program nailed that, but for some reason it kept giving me giant versions of him. I tried all sorts of qualifiers like giving an exact height (5’7”) or saying “average sized” or “short Latino man”, to no avail. I did manage to get a couple that were decent, but the enormous ones kept appearing. When I asked for the specific sizes they got either weirder or bigger. This is actually pretty close to the game and what I wanted: As soon as I requested more people in the scene, he started growing: And then there were weird, random renders:

Did you try “winged helmet” or “Norse helm” and such? Sometimes it has it filed under odd things like that I gave various things a try and Bing no likey. Here are the ones that came the closest: The various prompts, all of which resulted in winged backpacks most of the time. There were a couple more but I neglected to copy them. Mostly of the same ilk, and you can see the trends. I didn’t try “Space Ranger” because from previous experience it gives me ersatz Power Rangers. art station style, photo realist, golden age comics Space hero, laser pistol, open face helmet with stylized wing earpieces art station style, cel shaded, golden age comics Space hero, laser pistol, open face helmet with stylized wing earpieces art station style, cel shaded, 1920s Space Adventurer, laser pistol, winged space viking helmet art station style, cel shaded, science fiction, 1940s Space Adventurer, laser pistol, winged space viking helmet

Did you try “winged helmet” or “Norse helm” and such? Sometimes it has it filed under odd things like that. I had an impossible time getting it to do jetpacks, so I googled the word and I tried all the alternatives, getting nothing. It’s weird what blank spaces it has. I was on a Sinbad kick the other day and tried to get Bing to do fights between Sinbad & Kali and Sinbad & Cyclops. And BOY HOWDY does it have a terrifying idea about what a cyclops looks like. Trying to redefine it just made it all weirder. Even ended up with a triclops or two.

Is that what the kids call it these days? In my youth it was known as “pocket pool”.

Sadly no. At least not in Bing AI, which is what I've been using. I just did hundreds of iterations until I happened upon a few which kinda-sorta match up. I found that having more than two characters in the scene *really* confused it, so it would mix and match descriptions. More than a third of the time it would also add other characters for some reason. So I couldn't get it to render a team shot. To get the final team shot I kept asking for solo pictures until I had some that were close enough to the game look, then I erased the extraneous bits and edited them together. No two versions of Cliff Hanger look alike, but I figure the cowboy outfit disguises it a bit. (The program has no idea what chaps are.) Throwdown came out with a full head of hair 90% of the time despite specifying that he was bald. On the other hand, Big Galoot came out bald most of the time, and I only got him wearing blue sunglasses once. (Which I used above. He was also shirtless, so I just color-swapped some of his skin for the orange shirt as a dumb kludge. Don't look too closely, it's terrible.) I NEVER got a blonde version of Danger-Man, no matter how many times I asked. Not even with solo shots. And whenever I had them fighting bad guys, half the time the algorithm would turn them into one of the enemies. That shot with Danger-man and Nuckle Sammich facing the werewolf came from the prompt of those two and Galoot kicking werewolves off a moving train. Instead it gave Danger-Man a beard and turned Galoot into a wolf. In the shot with Throwdown and Danger-Man fighting plant monsters, it gave Dan a domino mask for some reason and also gave him Throwdown's utility harness and belt. With no plant monsters! But it looks cool, so why not. Here are a few of the many (many!) missed ones:

Please tell me he has a chain of seafood restaurants. 😂

Finally filled out a whole dealio on Monster Detective over on FBSA, complete with new AI art I've done this weekend. Monster Detective - FBSA Wiki (homecoming.wiki)

Great concept!

It’s so weird, but we’re in early days of this stuff. Sometimes it gets it perfect the first time out, sometimes you have to do 1,000 iterations just to get something that approximates what you’re asking for. Last night I never could get it to understand what I meant by an exoskeleton. Just kept giving me metal bones, no matter what I tried. One thing that would improve the usefulness of these algorithms would be the ability to select an element from a generated picture to replicate in subsequent images. I don’t know how often I get a character right but the scene is wrong, or that there’s a random item in the background that’s cool but nothing else is suitable. If we could just pick out that one thing, whether it’s a character or an object, and use it going forward, it would change these programs from a toy into a tool.

I like how she’s flying between worlds - 1940s western city on the left, older middle eastern city on the right. That second pic though… oof. She’s sitting on the gas tank and those handlebars are the very definition of random shape. It’s so weird how it does things like this. I’ve done some pics the past couple days which are interesting at first glance but upon closer inspection the characters have extra hands or melted faces or random things sticking out of people.

What is his and/or her name? In the meantime, please meet Dread Panda Roberts. (Eyepatch optional.)

Tried creating some Norman Rockwell-inspired pics with superheroes, and the ones in the soda shoppe were delightfully wholesome. As soon as I placed them in a playground things took a turn. This is the prompt: Norman Rockwell style, two little kids dressed up as pulp superheroes in a playground I'm captioning this first one, "I shot a man at recess just to watch him die." "So I told the dame, 'You mouth off again and you get the back of my hand.' She sent me to bed without supper." Spengler & Robin

I like how it has the explosion behind him yet also reflected it in the glasses. 100% Michael Baysplosion. 😂

I can't get it to not add extraneous details. It also appears to remember your previous prompts, because it frequently includes things from them. The only semi-workaround I’ve come up with is to close it, wait a few minutes, then ask for something completely unrelated. Then I go back to my original ask. That works maybe a quarter of the time. For example, I asked for a superhero in the style of Vitruvian Man, which it never really did, so then I tried creating my Jumping Jack Slash character who is just a pumpkin head with arms. And for some reason it started giving me four- and six-armed versions… just like Vitruvian Man. So I closed it out, came back and asked for a hippy hero, then asked for Jack again and it gave me a regular biped. Weird. Jack: AI versions: Hippy reset: Back to Jack:

I tried the Runway Gen 2 that’s supposed to animate your photos and I was less than impressed. All it does is distort the image in very weird ways. Maybe in a couple years it’ll be interesting, but I don’t know how they think they can charge money for this. It’s pretty terrible, frankly. Here are two of the pics I tried it on. https://www.instagram.com/p/C3G2-_lteO8/?igsh=aGpmd3pranlpM3g1

Did you ask for colored pencils as the style?

I tried “action figure” for a couple and those were cool.

I put Mellowstone in the other thread, but he belongs here. Keep on truckin, brother.
