Iona Artwork by Puddz

Oh my!

Mickey Phoenix

I love this

To get stuff that good it can still take a lot of time manually going through iterations and adjusting prompts

This explicitly is AI created, And is also one of the entries in the contest. And yes, AI art is getting very good.

well, if you weren't that picture just might do the trick. Yeowzer! :)

Poked in on /r/AnimeResearch to check what the current state of the art is and apparently they're pretty good at symmetry these days! Zooming in more closely, the mandela background is maybe suggestive of AI art after all. I don't know any more, which is pretty surprising.

Eliezer

Betting against. There's too many subtle things *right* with the image, like the matched circular bulges on the left and right sides of the background around the mandela burst.

I suspect this is AI created art. I actually am on the side of supporting AI art, (it's amazing what we can suddenly do with it now) but believe disclosure is best and there should be clarity whenever possible on whether art was hand made or not. The 512x1024 resolution is also the "Portrait (Large)" resolution on NovelAI, and the fingers on the hands don't look right, which is what AI drawings are known for.

yes, it's from back when ate our roots and such raw. Also, Iona's face was described as rough hewn. The recent picnic...pic...where she looks like a lumberjack is pretty close to my mental image.

It's been shown that children who have to chew on harder foods growing up have less trouble when their wisdom teeth come in.

God I'm so gay.

It actually does, by chewing on rubber and working out your jaw muscles you can make the muscles where your jaw hinges larger giving a squarer jaw line.

Being muscled doesn't affect the skeletal structure of the jaw, I'd think - the excessive squareness of Iona's jaw has actually struck me a bit funky, in other images of her.

Flying Goat

Hubba hubba. I was expecting a slightly squarer jaw than that, but maybe that's a trope for muscle heads.

Jason Hardman

Looks really good. In my head she is more massive with muscle though.

What a strange disconnect between body and face.

matt

Hmm, yes. *Looks respectfully*

Cormac

Damn!

Jeanean

Perfect!
