Of Generative AI

Experimented with a generative AI website called Stylar.ai and got some pretty good results. Basing the image off an existing mascot, the outcome was pretty amazing albeit it still required a lot of manual adjustments and repainting.

The original artwork is on the left, and stylar was used to create a realistic rendition of Anima following about 80% of its exact positioning. Upscayl was recommended to enlarge the image and then it went on to good old fashioned Photoshop for recoloring and fixing of any minor issues.

Considering other generative AI platforms like Midjourney only launched since July 2022,.. almost a year and a half later and we’re already at this stage of development. It is pretty exciting to consider what another year of development would bring to this space.
