Oh hey, this is very nice, especially the lineart and colors.

Thanks. I've been attempting to get something that looks stylistically like this for awhile, but this is the first time I was divine a method to pull it off.

she has such a look, and I know she's not watching a soccer match on the pub's TV...

There's definitely something going on that she finds amusing. ;)

Odd or not, she a cutie.

Yeah. She's pretty adorable.

She's definitely an interesting combination of species.

She actually came about because I was messing around with Sable Diffusion about a year ago to kind of see what AI art could do. I was trying to get it to generate a picture with a cheetah and a fox (my two favorite animals), but it kept combining them into one. I was kind of amused by it (and some of them looked decent) so I decided to flesh out the concept into her own character (and then completely forgot about her until a few weeks ago during inktober).

Ah OK, I see, well that was definitely a lucky break!

I know you've messed with some AI generated art more recently. Has it gotten better at generating multiple distinct characters like that? I really haven't tried in about a year now and I know the tech has greatly improved.

I tried it out on DALL-E 3, my prompt was two characters dancing a female fox wearing a black satin dress and a male cheetah wearing a tuxedo, the first attempt came out well with two distinct characters however her tail was through a tail-hole in her dress which drives me nuts. So I asked it to try again but with her tail under the hem and it came out...weird...a third try and it was better but the AI had swapped the characters species! Which I suppose highlights the benefits and drawbacks of AI.

I also received a content violation warning which just illustrates how overly sensitive ChatGPT is.

I mean at least it's figured out two separate characters.

Also a content violation warning for that... *facepalm*

Yes the pictures weren't bad at all, but it's obviously still not advanced enough to understand what you're trying to tell it when a human artist would grasp it right away.

And yep, it takes a lot of the fun out of using it that it's so careful not to possibly give offence :/
