AGMsInbound: It's something about the way mhonnie does her face that shows a certain calm almost smuggness. She's content and collected in her own ability.

It's good to see that potential for her every so often.

Tahrey: Mhonnie = the good stuff. Actually been using one of their other works as source for some mucking about with an AI paint style algorithm.

Tahrey: For example, with this image as the "content" (and a couple of related Prequelbooru ones as "style"):




and using it as the "style" with someone's already cut-up collage based on Bowie's "The Next Day" as the content...


And before that, a whole loooooad of them using the one of Kat in a cableknit jumper holding a bouquet of flowers ... first a different Bowie


Some human subjects with varying degrees of success (the fourth one was holding a "bouquet of kittens", btw)


Some kitties who I probably should have turned the process quality settings up on...


and of course the odd inorganic target


also some three or four way feedback, either with an additional image, or crossing the reverse mashup up with the original, sometimes with odd results


(...more in a second and possibly third post, I don't want to make them too big - but I doubt these are worthy of their own submissions unless I come up with a really good one)

Tahrey: Ah damn, got some of those addresses wrong and there's no edit function...

Tahrey: And of course using it as the content base and applying other things as the style ... for example, reversing some of the humans...


and kitties...


and other things besides...


(though oddly I don't think I've done a mhonnie x mhonnie yet...)

There were a lot more attempts but they were mainly more or less (mostly less) refined versions of these, which aren't too interesting to look at. Sometimes, though, it went a bit wrong, either through a processing glitch or just messing with the settings a bit too much. Some were just a bit formless and blobby ... some kinda random but at least recognisable as having the right style... others ... well... just downright f'ed up (mainly but not always negative factors leading to the latter). All three of these used no other inputs than those seen above.

Tahrey: Bonuses:
Space Corgis in the style of the pencilled "Katia vs Small Godlike Goat Kid"


Bikini Girl in the style of mid-extrapolation Aggy (t-shirt design)


A Certain Chipmom Mid-Merch-Boxing in the style of Pissed-Off Rajirra In The Snow


Some guy's human take on the Zootopia main characters in the style of a particularly brightly coloured Prequel Compact Story entry (again, coulda done with turning up the quality settings)


And finally, Somewhat Wedgied Katia Fonda in the style of some similarly risque neon-coloured Pacman tribute art I ran across in someone else's submission to the neural engine (also the source for most of the other humans featured in fact). Again, not quite as refined as it could be, but I think it has promise - problem is, they take long enough already, and the more refined the result, the longer it takes, sometimes a half hour or more, and we don't live in an age where people like myself are prepared to wait around for as long as it used to take to raytrace a full screen image in the 90s...

Tahrey: And yeah, one common factor does seem to be that it often does freaky things with eyes.

I'm still trying to titrate my way up to a suitable amount of mindbleach to erase the memory of what it did when I fed in a screengrab of a google search for "hamsters" as the style and a field of visual whitenoise as the "content". It just looked like a crowd of hamsters at first ... then you looked closer ... and it was actually more like a melted mass of fur with OH GOD SO MANY EYES JUST IN RANDOM PLACES

Tahrey: *clicks through with idle curiousity* oh man that tumblr, I can't even.

*saves all the things* gonna do so many mashups

sorry for the scrollbomb chaps :/

Tahrey: Anyway I did a few more retries of the less successful or borderline ones, a few of them improved (though most actually got worse if anything) so I'll have one last spurt later on once I've gathered them back together.

Tahrey: OK, so after a nearly 60-page trawl of the image index (that site gets a LOT of traffic), I managed to corral all the ones that were still processing or I hadn't even uploaded to the queue at the point I posted that stuff before. I haven't got any more in the pipe, so I may as well empty it of them all and have done with.

One thing that came out was that, for some reason, Prequel stuff generally works far better as a "style" source than a "content" one. Or maybe I'm just picking the wrong pictures. IDK. There's quite a lot I've skipped and filtered because it just came out either as an unrecognisable mess, or merely slightly tinted with the style palette but otherwise unaltered.

First up, three more attempts at Katia's Neon Rave Workout Tape, attempting to progressively tune the "style" image to the content one and fiddle with the settings to make it look better. Weirdly, I don't think any of them actually look as good as the original, but they each have their own interesting effects and I think would look good in a collage or a high speed looping GIF.


Naturally to keep the furries happy there was then another go at melting a humanised version of the Zootopia leads into Katia and a random Homeworld Gem who happened to be in the right pose and colours.


Seeing as that didn't work super-brilliant (it's tried to give both Nick and Judy elements of both Katia and Lapis), I then tried to do them separately. Not much better, but you may as well see what the state of the art has to offer. Here's Nickatia and Lapudy. Mostly Nick and Judy really, I think I shoulda turned the Style quotient up higher but got confused and turned Content up instead. You can sort-of see it though.


Then it was the turn of the Gems straight-up... Katis Lazagan will haunt your nightmares. Which I guess means Katia is actually Jasper? Erm.


But I think Latia Manuzi came out rather better. Can't decide which of these two treatments I prefer, even the different ways it adapted the flame have their own particular attractions.


Katidot, the great and loveab----aaaaaaagh wtf


A couple different sleep-dazed and drunken Peartias ... Katarls? Whatever. Dunno where the leaf came from in the second picture, that's not in EITHER of the source images.


And we'll finish up with, well... Bowies.
Lots of Bowies.
Fluffy Bowie, Pencil Undertale-Prequel Bowie, Flaming Feline Revenge Bowie.


And four Bowies whose source image isn't anything to do with Prequel other than it's pixel art and I used it in a couple of the previous images up above, so they were smack bang in the middle of the rest of the output pics and I figured I may as well post them as they look kinda cool. Two different content images, a single style image, and a couple of radically different sets of scalefactors.



Danke, y Bonne Nos.
