Erik the Slayer, Vayniya, Reldith and Karin. Trust me, after 13 years of Karin? He earned it.

Ulfric and Elenwen. Yes, I subscribe to the Ulfric has Stockholm Syndrome theory, no, I don't think he's working FOR Elenwen, he just figures the Dominion getting what it wants isn't the win it thinks it is. Also because it makes a nice twisted fic I'm working on called Lightning and Thu'um.

Cuz I forgot Sharn the orc gang leader who's only redeeming quality is I might like to get slapped around by her, another La'Shiri, & a red guard merchant OC I haven't named yet. I ship em cuz I never do non-Hollywood type guys and they'd absolutely work cuz they both value personality

Couple more, including pre and post hagraven Esmerelda, I figure she's still like the Helen of Troy of hagravens so its tough to get that mix of you can still tell its her and hagraven hideousness. A good hagraven you should be able to say no to quite easily and I'm not quite there.

Couple of my Skyrim villains of the week, they always start as one note characters and then they get so interesting I want to give them their own spinoffs.
So I got this style I'm experimenting with, I've always liked this kinda dark sturdy graphic novel vibe.

I know you're sick of sora, but I'm playing with it, this is always the best part of a new prog/update to me, finding the limits. Sometimes I don't prefer the new style, but I could have NEVER genned or corrected something like this on the last update. Oh, and spoilers for Her Best Work in Red!

I'm not gonna bother with the original, its basically the same pic, perfectly serviceable, I just feel like this one has fancier lighting/details. Also, case you wondered how how looks depending on his mood

It's not ALWAYS an improvement mind you, also I will tell you I have just enough sensibility to confidently say sometimes less is more. But I do feel like the 2nd one has a bit more, eh, gloss? Flair? Pieces of flair?

Another contrast since the update, "Lord Henry", an evil ghost with a modern crush from a haunted house story I came up with all the way back in '02 fer christs sakes. The old style is perfectly fine in my opinion, the new one just has that, eh, zhush in it as the kids call it. I'm NOT an art guy

Vayniya confronting Vaermina. Differences since the update, I very much liked the old style I was getting (and it showed more), but I do feel like the new one has more gloss/detail to it, what do you think?

Some flawed experiments. For some reason no matter the ref it insists on:
1. Throwing Hermaeus Mora into the Kahiras (Kahiree?) and doing minimal guide layout. Also making Kahira look like she's 6 than 13
2. Posing Vayniya with chin in hand.
Putting these in negs messes up the style though

S'more examples with a few issues, gotta wait till tomorrow to correct/gen anything more. Now whats interesting is its smart enough to pull background on Erik from web to populate text. Some of the background/text is mine, though stuff like them being married or Karin's quote aren't mine

Couple Red Deads I was just running through on my phone again to play with the new style and test. My preferred style is either kind of robust graphic novel-y or light airy and scratchy, I don't like realism, but depending on the reference sometimes you gotta change it up to compensate

Sora updated the other day so I was just redoing a few old gens to check out the style, I think these came out a bit better. Oh, if you're interested in a bit of sports bar trivia, gemini tells me the female version of Jai (Sanskrit) would be Jaya which has the same meaning

So Sora updated, theres things I dislike about the new styles, I'll have to rejigger some prompts, but look how robust it is for a first run at these. More on these in replies, it takes liberties on the text and the problem is there's always SOME AI issue on one of the panels, but still impressive

Just messing around with Vayniya and Kahira. I'm ready to be done with them for awhile, they've each of them only got 2 and a half scenes left, but its like finishing a game you had fun playing, not in a hurry right?
I ALWAYS have 2-3 colors in mind when I design a character they look natural in

Way back in the day in Busch Gardens for $20 they'd dress ya up as a refugee from the 1800s or such and take a sepia portrait, the one I sent my wife was this photo of me doing my male Kristen Stewart RFB face done up like a gunfighter. I swear she's a dead ringer for my wife if she took one

Kahira's just a mix of their two color schemes & characteristics (I could have used green!), but I knew immediately what she should look like. Erik really was the perfect canon NPC for putting it all together, without him you don't get all that subplot, or even feasibly get Karin as a mom

This was always meant as its own fic for years, but if you ever wondered how Karin had a kid in ANY timeline, the short answer is Dibellan aphrodisiac nail polish and weaponized cross dressing. Sora used to choke even on stuff like him dressed in Beijing opera, so I'm glad they're getting with it

I could do something dynamic but I always like to just redo something I already did as a comparison

You wouldn't believe me how ridiculous things get this time of year, on top of being sick. They had the last, eh, 5 weeks to do call in, and they all of them pick today. It's on purpose, I swear.
Anyways, female Andrei (Andrea?) Got a gentleman big into genderbends, so I was testing it out

ONE more, most days I like her better with the drop curls.
I used to like playing missions, they put you with 3 randos, its fun seeing what other people do with their created characters. She always looks like she's the boss with a buncha minions, I got alot of fashion pizazz for a straight guy

Jesus please us, she's a cutey and I love this style. My first Red Dead Online character, I don't play nearly as much anymore, but there is nothing funnier than seeing a well dressed five foot nothing Chinese woman choke out a big burly mountain man

Still recovering on this side but I'm semi functional. Carmilla and Andrei, I never get tired of this Amano style. She's not actually tall, I just write her like she seems as if she is, especially when she's high flown or angry, its one of those quirks I like to throw in that explains perspectives
