Some or most of the pictures that Fooocus gave me do look cool when taken by themselves. However, for some reason it ignored the "visor" part until I wrote, more specifically, "visor over eyes", and I generally failed to bring across the whole idea that major parts of her body had been replaced with cybernetics. Most blatantly, it always ignored the "assymetrical arms" part (I'm only now realizing I misspelled that), except when it inexplicably gave her a gun. The "realistic" presets made her look like somebody from a low-budget movie, although that might have been intentional as I only realized in hindsight. I also missed the fact that a few of the numerous "Styles" Fooocus comes with include a few for cybernetics, although they would simply have added some redundancy to the prompt. Oh well, I gotta try again eventually.

i redid my Mastermind to realy have that African Flair.

Is that upscaled? Looks like a regular screenshot. Or was this meant for the costume design thread?

I went to my monthly eye doctor appointment today where they dilated my right eye and then I watched the solar eclipse so I kept looking at it wondering if I messed up my eyes. 😁

I LOVED Composer!

Anubis Prime:

 

staff/dark/soul scrapper

I ran this through KREA, and extracted the text prompt and plugged it into Co-piolt with a few tweaks to clarify a few details and this is some of the results, I did not propmt anything with text from within the bio.

 

I had to add this image, I was working on another image in co-pilot, and somehow it ignored my last image and added part of the prompt from another image and this was one of the results. I want this. I want a model of it, I want the actual suit. I would LARP 24/7 in it, and I dont do that stuff!. It is quite possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!

Dannngg… I want to read this book, man.

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.

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. 😂

Remember my Space Pirate from earlier? Captain Azure Dupree? Well I had a version of her over in Champions Online. Krea actually brings the CO version more in-line with the COH version and gets rid of the more "cartoony" aspects of the art!
(And yes - she has a cybernetic right arm. So does the COH version, though it's less obvious in the main costume. She also has one near fully cybernetic leg and the other is augmented heavily to keep up with the other and to balance her properly. She nearly died in the attack on her ship that caused her to go Pirate. She's about 40% Cyborg.)

Oh... my... god... You are so right. There NEEDS TO BE A MODEL of this! Maybe somehow translate it into various pieces that can be 3D printed separately and make the statue that way? Or is it even possible to print the entire thing in one go? 

Then you have to figure out how to PAINT the thing... 

 

That would be an amazing project if it could be done!

Anubis Prime....WOW

 

[Trike]

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.

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.

Time to let Fooocus interpret a redsider: Fiend Girl.

 

 

Results were hit and miss. Some pics turned out pretty cool, but Fooocus would randomly bother with her tail or not, and I couldn't get it to depict her hooves at all. I temporarily described her as a mercenary, which might be the reason why it gave her a gun belt. Using the "realistic" settings (as opposed to just leaving the default) produced what looked like relatively cheap Halloween costumes; I eventually noticed that they explicitly added "unrealistic" as a negative prompt, thus messing with speculative fiction. Apparently, angelic wings can more easily be faked IRL than demonic features.

 

 

I was going to stop at this point, but then I retained Fiend Girl for some quick experiments – as in, setting Fooocus to "Extreme Speed" – trying to have her interact with somebody else. They were generally failures; most of the time it wouldn't even bother to actually depict two characters, and it once gave her bare boobs for some reason. Even so however, it produced a couple of solo shots good enough for me to post here; one of them actually had her actively controlling fire, unlike any of the better-quality attempts, which had her wield a lighter at most.

 

 

And finally, I had the idea to take the random seed of one of the better earlier pics and combine it with the since refined prompt. At first, it inexplicably gave me a doll again, with only one visible wing and no tail …

 

 

… whereas the second attempt (which actually increased the seed number by one) came out great at first glance aside from one flame. At second glance however, it is a slight case of the uncanny valley.

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. 🌟🌍🌌
