So I'm going to be doing some commentary on the AI art. It's always interesting seeing this kind of stuff.
This commentary could apply to all of the art pieces but I find it interesting that the AI gave Eve a wine glass in all of the more formal settings. It's not super deep, it's just a neat bit of association to pick up. I'll also say that broadly speaking I like all of the dresses for Eve in the more formal settings. As a minor note, I think it's interesting that of all of the images generated of her, this is the only one in which Eve is wearing a ring on her ring finger. It's an interesting quirk of this particular image, though I'll note that Eve is not married.
So now we get to see my meager understanding of art come into play. The stance here feels like an attempt to imitate a contrapposto stance what with the one leg forward and the hip jutting out.
On to some of the weirdness, the lighting in general is a little weird (there's a strong shadow on the left collarbone but her left shoulder is also lit up as though a light source is directly on it for example). The canteen is kind of just floating in the air, there's a weird cloth band wrapped around at least one of her fingers on the hand on the right. Additionally one of her thumbnails appears to be a different color than the one on her other hand.
I'll say that I think this is meant to be the "slumming it" outfit from the spoiler title, but this actually looks like a really well coordinated outfit and maybe it's the presence of the canteen or the model-esque pose but to me this kind of feels like a potential ad for women's outdoor wear or something.
Another generally solid image. As always there's some jankiness (her middle find is crooked and part of her dress bends a little weirdly) but it's not too distracting. For me the bit of weirdness that seems to come from this is that it almost looks to me like she has two different eye colors. I'm curious if others can see that was well?
I will once again comment on the dress design but I think the cutouts on her side are a fun little flair to the design and I could see it being a more risqué sort of dress Eve would wear.
I've only noticed this now but does everyone, including the background characters, in the "company event" style pictures have black or white hair? I'm curious as to if that's an actual bias of the AI and why it might have that. Overall I don't have too much to comment on here that I haven't said before.
I don't have too much to say about this image. There's some AI weirdness (hands have weird wrinkling), and I find it kind of funny that her "casual" outfit involves a necklace, a bracelet and earrings that all appear to be expensive. Beyond that though there's not much to comment on, and this is an outfit I'm pretty sure I've seen people wear out and about in California.
So I don't remember if I've ever commented on Siobhan's hair before but I'll state that outside of the most modern stuff, she generally tends to have long hair. This kind of hair style seems to be pulling more from the cyberpunk and rocker aesthetic than Siobhan as she's been depicted in most media. I think this hairstyle kind of works for her.
I do really like the outfit. Some of the metal "techy" bits around the wrist and belt in my opinion aren't the best (they feel superfluous) and but otherwise this is a pretty solid outfit. I do like the jacket a lot though.
So I'm not going to say too much about this one. I like the hair here the most but there's also something really weird going on with the earrings, especially on the right side of the image.
So the hair here is interesting, it feels like it's somewhere in the realm of a Joan Jett or a Ziggy Stardust type of deal. It's a fun "rocker" kind of look and not something I typically see all that much. As ever there's AI weirdness (Siobhan's pseudo elf ears, the spikes on the right wristband not being uniformly sized, the guitar pegs being at weird angles and the classic finger weirdness) but I actually really like the outfit here for Siobhan. The spiked guitar strap is also a nice little touch to bring in a bit of punk to the aesthetic.
So this is also a really fun outfit and hairstyle for Siobhan. I like the leather jacket again and I think there's some fun asymmetry with the one wristband and the one earring, as well as the rings on one hand. It's neat without getting lost in the sauce on asymmetry.
So the guitar is super messy. Something about this guitar screams that the bottom part of it is completely flat while the top has depth, strings appear to vanish, there's weird white dots on the fretboard and the pegs on the head are misaligned. The guitar just looks wrong to me and I can't look at it for too long without pondering what exactly is throwing me off about it.
Also some funny background stuff for this image in particular, there's a poster with what looks to be a silver banshee head above the bed and the lamp in the background appears to be placed on top of a speaker instead of a dresser.
I'm going to be light on the comments for the Tora pictures for the most part. They're all generally solid and I like all of the different sweater designs.
That being said something about this one in particular makes me feel like the face is being modelled off of Emilia Clarke's (the actress who played Daenerys in Game of Thrones). It might be because I'm associating white haired women, but something about this one picture in particular gives me that association whereas all the rest don't.
I don't have much to say here at all beyond that I think of the four images this one looks the best.
Again generally solid picture, I'm just going to comment on AI weirdness as I think the face looks a little odd because the pupils aren't the same size and the "rosy" elements of the cheek are a little too perfectly circular.
Again I don't have two much to say. The ring attempt is weird and I think the version of Tora here looks visually the oldest of the bunch. I like the hair here less than in the others as it feels a bit too straight and flat whereas the others have some "bounce" to them. I'm not a hairstylist, I don't know if I'm speaking sense, but the hair here does feel different to the others.
So this is fun. You practically never see Fire be depicted as this dark skinned in DC comics. I kind of like it as it helps her stand out a lot more when compared to others. I also really like the ombre in her hair here. It gives it some flair that's fun.
So when looking at the belt, initially it looked to me like the AI was trying to replicate a Gucci or Gancini logo but I also learned that double loop buckles are a thing so it might just be an attempt at that. I kind of like the look and think it's interesting. The earrings are also really fun. There's some AI weirdness with the hands and I'm sure I could poke at more but this is overall a really solid look.
Of the two Beatriz images, I'm less fond of this one. I think the gold watch, the medallion/necklace, and the gold hoop earrings all work well and look good without feeling tacky. I'm less fond of the hair, something about the darker tone with less variance doesn't look quite as good as the mixed shades of the previous picture.
I'm also less fond of the color balancing. I actually think it's because the top is a light green that goes with the hair's green, but the white nails and the light blue jean shorts feels off to me. I'm not a fashion designer, but I feel like this look would be better if the top was white or if the jean shorts were a dark shade and her nails matched her hair color. I can't quite articulate why I think that, but that is my general opinion on the outfit.
The human disguise Starfire pictures incorporation of "mustard pizza" is cursed and I love it. On first glance I thought that the yellow things were Etrog slices (Etrog's are a fruit that as far as I know are solely used in a Jewish holiday). It was only later when I realized that those were dollops of mustard.
I really like the purple shoulder-less top as an outfit choice for Starfire with how it harkens back to her costume and it looks good. The freckles feel well balanced and I like the sort of happy-go-lucky vibes I get from her face.
There a lot of little details in this picture that I think are funny. The mustard dispenser in the middle of the table is the most obvious one but there are more. There's the face that the knife is positioned in the opposite direction of how it should be (blade pointing towards Starfire), the fact that the liquid in Starfire's glass kind of looks like white wine, and that the people in the background (at least to me) appear to be drinking olive oil or something. None of it's intentional but it adds something to this picture.
I think this is the most "average teenage girl" looking of the images and the freckles, while a lot more present, do give some character to the image/disguise. I liked the brighter green eyes of the previous picture more as an artistic element, but I feel like this would be a better image for a disguise meant to more thoroughly fool people.
This one also has a few details I find really funny. There's the return of the mustard pizza, with three different versions of it. Personally I find the one that looks like a Chicago style pizza that then got a ton of toppings piled onto it, to be amusing as that convex shape is unnatural for a pizza and it amuses me to think of why that pizza is shaped that way. Next I know that this occurred due to the AI not quite managing to match the color of the liquid in the glass on the right to the table to mimic opacity of water, but combined with it looking more like a solid block, it doesn't seem like water to me. It could be juice, but I like to imagine that it's actually water with highly diluted mustard mixed in, in part because of proximity to the bottle of mustard.
As for the image itself, something about it feels vaguely Pixar-esque to me. Maybe it's the very obvious hourglass shaped body leading me to associate it more with cartoons, maybe it's the relative lack of texturing on the hair or maybe it's something else, I can't quite place why I feel that this looks somewhat like Pixar's stereotypical art style. I do think it looks good though.
I'll say that pretty much any of the Starfire images could qualified for the "foreign exchange student" entry. Let me know if you want to claim this entry and I'll put more work in my backlog as appropriate.
I've generated several more images for the quest and I'm steadily getting better at it. I should probably start generating images for guys too lol
I appreciate you adding more images and continuing to try and push yourself to be better. I appreciate you posting this stuff and I'll comment that there's definitely an evolution across the stuff you've posted that's cool to see. You earn 400 exp for this and if you want to claim it, you can get one of the fan art contest entries.
Edit: I made a mistake in awarding exp, you actually got 500 exp. I've made the correction when applying the changes on the informational sheet listing how much exp you've got.
There also Grogarians, or whatever these Alien slavers (that might attack Earth due to chasing after Koriand'r/Starfire) are called
Gordanians is what they are called.
