I've been playing around with Sora a bit lately so thought I'd share some generations I thought came out alright!
I first found a nice prompt from a user who'd generated Breaking Bad characters into Pokemon-like physical trading cards. I borrowed part of his prompts and edited parts out to focus it towards Holozing instead, the results were quite awesome!
Here is Miu as you know from my profile picture, with the prompt being:
Photorealistic close-up of a rare Pokémon-style event card held at a slight angle, only part of thumb visible. Title: 'Bring all the cats to the yard', Event card with no type icons. Card shows a close-up of the image uploaded, shadowed, as he looks toward the viewer. The background shows he's in the backyard of a house. His eyes reflect blue crystal shards and the screen light in front of him. Holofoil surface glows in silver-blue with fractal glints. Text on card describes a one-time transformation effect: When Miu appears, all the other cats flock to it. Inspired by Pokemon.
To repeat what I told a friend in dm's, no that's not my thumb, I didn't print the card we generated, the thumb is also part of the generation, lol.
Next up I uploaded the default version of the Ocean Healer and turned it into a trading card as well:
Prompt was:
Photorealistic close-up of an ultra-rare full-art Pokémon-style trading card titled 'Holozing – Healer Profession: Alchemy', Dark/Steel-type icons. Card shows a Holozing healer as included in the upload in an alchemy protective suit, mid-cook, pouring bright blue and purple shiny liquid into a flask. The scene glows with blue chemical light, reflecting in his eyes. His posture is focused, intense. Background is a shadowy desert sunset visible through the windows of a house. Holofoil shimmer in ice blue and silver chrome. Slight analog film grain. Mythical card layout with number 001/111 displayed in the bottom corner. Special move: “Concoct Life” – instantly heals your creature to full Life.
Here I added both the female Ocean Healer and Miu and a different card layout compared to the previous ones, came out quite alright except text being a bit off here and there.
Photorealistic close-up of a rare holographic Pokémon-style trading card held at a slight angle, only part of thumb visible. Title: 'Ocean Healer & Miu', Water/Normal-type icons. Card shows the uploaded healer anime character along with mew on her shoulder looking towards the camera, healer smiling while creature is frowning. Background a beach and sand with some birds in the sky during sunset along with the moon and some stars. Holofoil surface shimmers with gold, deep red, and charcoal tones. Slight analog film grain. Card includes Pokémon-style text, layout, tag-team abilities and stats themed around water healing abilities and normal cat type moves. Special move: ‘Cat lady bond’ – having many Miu's makes this healers abilities more powerful.
The one thing that's a little annoying, and I can assume it's to prevent some kind of abuse or misuse of the software is that you can't really upload an image of a person/thing and force it to not change the facial details at all when wanting to edit the surroundings, etc. I guess this is to prevent people from trying to put others in uncomfortable pictures without their consent.
One thing that it does work decently well at however, is to turn anime drawn characters into photorealistic humans such as what I did here with this variation of a Holozing healer:
There was not a lot of prompt on these ones, something simple as "turn the uploaded image into a realistic human"
Here it was the same except to also add some background.
It's been a while since I've been fooling around with AI, and while I mostly just used it to experiment with in the past to see what ideas would work and how they'd look. It's starting to feel like we're getting closer and closer to using this as some kind of marketing tool to give you some kind of variations of things to use as content for the projects and stuff you're involved in.
The video version I haven't experimented too much with yet as I've been quite impressed by the photo generation so far, but here's a short clip of the female Light healer. The prompt is kind of unnecessary as it didn't really do what I tried make it do, but guess I need some more practice!
Anyway, will be experimenting a bit more with it and maybe making some shorts of results on my youtube to see if that's something that interests people, let me know what you think and if you have some ideas you'd want me to try generating!
