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.

I tried a suit of robotic armour "in the style of Darkest Dungeon" instead... (this is Leonardo AI).

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! 😂

I used generic "gun" and "pistol" after that until I hit on the idea of using NERF, to show that I wasn't really into malicious intentions.

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.

With anthro animals, it may be that the large amount of furry art out there has skewed the results to something Microsoft considers inappropriate.

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 curious now how an A.I. creation's images would distinguish a bespoke tailored suit from any other suit.  I mean, in really life I'll tell largely based on the materials and stitching quality, but I'd think those would be hard to render at these sizes.

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.

got a pair of warnings for trying to use words like "guns" and "pistols", however, it was perfectly cool if I used "NERF gun", and even a few of the results came out with nickle-plated guns.  Uh-huh...sure its NERF.  Go figure

 

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.

I'm not sure I'll continue with another toon as I did not manage to get anything good on this one 😞

If you’ve read through this thread then you know we’ve all been there. The programs have some blind spots, which range from annoying to hilarious. But every once in a while the AI nails it.

 

I’d think that your Thin White Duke would be pretty easy, but I don’t know what you’re going for. Those renders look decent to me. (Extra fingers aside. But those are easy to fix.)

Only a couple, as a result, came anywhere near what I sought.  That said, it's created some very interesting designs, and I may have to investigate to see if I can pull off one or two of the looks.

That one in the upper left corner looks doable, but I’m not sure that deep V pattern is available for males. But the Kid’n’Play haircut aside, those are some good looks.

It appears that if you ask Copilot to generate your images, you can select one and have it re-generate them selectively.

Except it always comes out different, sometimes slightly, sometimes significantly. I’d really like the option of keeping the exact image but use it in different scenes.

 

With that I could create an entire comic book that has consistent characters.

Is there a way to link an AI to pictures of the character then ask it to recreate in new styles/poses/etc?

Not in Bing, as I mention upthread. Might be different in other programs.

Had a difficult time with this one. It kept adding designs to the body and didn't understand the sparkles.

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.

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:

You've identified the problem I've been having.  I don't know the real words, if there are any, for a variety of costume parts from the game.  For example, my retro-future space ranger, Major Ray Gunn, uses what the game calls "fury wings" along the side of his helmet, but this apparently is not a real world term for that part, if it even has one.

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.

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.
