dochermesPerhaps inevitably, I have given in and started fooling around with making AI images of my characters. These images are being shown for now over at my old LiveJournal blog,
https://olddochermes2.livejournal.com/
The Haley Lawson one just absolutely cracks me up. I can see a coven of warlocks or a pack of Skinwalkers grinning murderously as they stalk in on little Windcatcher. Just before she demolishes them.
Today I have frittered away the afternoon trying to come up with Ashley Whitaker, the Unicorn, and getting nowhere. I can visualize how she looks with clarity but getting that image on the screen is beyond me so far. My artististic skills are limited to cheerful doodles of some bizarre characters which I usually add to notes or cards. One friend of mine always got a note with an enthusiastic hummingbird zipping around because it suited her personality.
And now I'm on a binge, making images of Unicorn, Romal, the Brimstone Kid...then moving on to more and more obscure characters even I don't remember.
AND I must emphasize that I am not creating these images my self. I don't know how. I put the request out there and several enthusiastic people out there do the work!
well, by that I mean AIs.
What is frustrating is that the various AIs are so limited. They are incapable of drawing an Eyeless helmet and will insist on giving a character
a beard or draw them the wrong height by two feet. It's like Stan Lee getting art back for an issue where the Thing is wearing sneakers for no good reason and an inker has to correct every page.
