This was in New France, which apparently they still have. I can't speak to the rest cuz I haven't been in over 20 years, but I remember even though the food was an arm and a leg you tasted where the money went, so if they still have the BBQ you have to try that. Me, I liked to ride the train

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

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

Everybody uses it for video, all I want is for it to stick to my references, all I ever wanted out of AI. It's taken them this many years to do that and its not what most people use it for :P

Ok, now I gotta try this with Jai just to say I did

Thanks! I'm trying to get some tests off the ground and do meaningful stuff, but I swear everytime I get my head above water it gets silly again. But this kind of stuff I can do in two minutes, the Castlevania art stuff is some of the easiest to gen without even referencing the series

To think oh how different the village and slow burn infatuation dynamic with Carmilla would go if Andrei was a woman

I've read Le Fanu's Carmilla for reference, big lesbian overtones there, but unfortunately its a really dull book and only good as the earliest example of vampire fiction. I'm still planning to finish Kiss of Stone and Ebon Gaze, but its a challenging and interesting thought exercise (cont)

I'm not nearly into it as much as he is, but I'm very interested in the process, when you can look at the char and see how it makes sense without being obvious like stick a d-cup and a big ol' princess bow on them and calling it a day.

I'm also interested on how it would change things plot wise

Oh, and this is just my experience, with tech AND writing, you'll have more eureka moments if you just come back to it with a clear head than beating it against a wall for a solid week. Once I solved a graphics card issue by taking a nap!

My boss and wife, as you can imagine, LOVE my attitude
