jwronsky Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) I posted that on Reddit an people harassed me there (literally) for using AI. I hope this community is more open minded. I tried to both upscale them and make them look like photographs (closer to the original BG style). I didn't try to recreate those portraits exactly, I just wanted to preserve the general look & feel and convert them to something more photographic, while being creative. I used Stable Diffusion upscaler (Ultimate SD upscale) + img2img + ControlNet for anatomy I spent too much time getting those fingers to look at least kind of right ^ Edited January 28 by jwronsky Quote Link to comment

Connelly Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Harass, no. But honestly, they feel so goddamn off to me that I only want to scroll away/close the tab. :/ Quote Link to comment
moggadeet Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Serious uncanny valley territory for me. They don't really convey the personalities evoked in their original portraits, and they're just kind of... off in general. Quote Link to comment
suy Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I think Amelyssan is pretty good. Sarevok seems OK. Maybe not 100% similar to what the original, but good enough to be a pass for me. So, from my POV, don't get discouraged. I would like to see more myself! I also would love to have the time to tinker with Stable Diffusion. Quote Link to comment

bob_veng Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 There's a lot potential here. Could you upscale all the vanilla ToB portraits? Quote Link to comment
Felipe Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 This is GREAT! I hope you upscale all of them. :) Quote Link to comment
RoyalProtector Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 There's a lot of potential here for good stuff -- and overall creepiness. I'll be curious to see where this goes. Quote Link to comment

It is genetic. Quote Link to comment
