one of the fun parts of playing with AI rendered text-to-image is when the AI actually has an understanding of what you’re asking of it, specifically when you can pop in a character name and a ridiculous situation and get a result that shows the AI was fed a solid diet of your blorbos.
(the downside is of course when the AI has no idea what you want and you have to painstakingly describe your blorbo to it, feature by feature. :-/.)
we’ve seen Dall-E mini do good with Miss Piggy and the X-Files cast, and now I’ve stumbled on a new goldmine that is also semi-obscure and thus this makes me extra pleased to exploit it: DARK SHADOWS (1966)
AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! It’s them!!! I especially like WIDE Barnabas in the bottom right corner! XD
Ahahahaha omg these are scary close to what an era-accurate anime of Dark Shadows would look like XD
I wanna play Dark Shadows on the N64, mom!!
The PS1 port has some of that PS1 crispiness we all love XD
Ahahaha this is like the Superfriends meet Barnabas Collins or something
I can see a little bit of that 2000′s toon aesthetic, yeah
some very clear Barnabas paintings! probably because of the plot relevant cursed paintings in the show, a solid third of them were of Barneybus lol, so the AI had a lot of reference to look at.
then i decided to see if Dall-E knows the CHARACTERS out of context of the soap opera. it knows Barnabas! looks like he’s either befriending a deer or trying to slake that vampiric thirst of his…
Barnabas gets a crispy taco, a potato ole and a LARGE soda at taco john’s. but judging by his expressions they got his order wrong, just like my local tj’s! ahahahahahahahahahahaha
I wanna test out more of the DS66 cast, but traffic is heavy at Dall-E again so that’ll have to wait for another time hahaha
