    How does your avatar look when enhanced by AI?

    🤣 I didn't see that in the last one until you mentioned it! So true.

    All were just plain Leonardo.ai. Unfamiliar with the tool, and limited to the free allocation of tokens, I was sort of guessing at what to put in the prompts or settings, apart from setting image-to-image mode as the blogs (New World Notes, etc.) have noted.

    I've played some with Adobe's Firefly, which I know you've been incorporating too, and so far, the results aren't worthy of sharing. This is a lot of fun though, and you've gotten some particularly amazing results.

    SL, our avatars, etc. have always sort of messed with my brain cells a bit (or a lot). Life-like AI renderings only dial it up more...

    Feel free to contact me if you need any advice. I have started integrating AI into all aspects of my RL work (not just image generation), and I am fully immersed in it now (and going a bit nuts). Happy to help - this applies to anyone. Some people can be very proprietary about this stuff, which quite frankly, is stupid. We are all learning, it is a brave new world of our AI overlords.

    After seeing it mentioned a lot the past few days, I decided to try Leonardo myself. Interesting, but underwhelmed... Unlike Cristiano Midnight's results, it didn't exactly turn my avatar into the swarthy human cover guy I was hoping for... 🤣  But, fun for those of us who don't have the inclination to dig into the toolsets very deeply.

    The three examples were from three different attempts at describing the desired result.

    I am getting Clark Kent vibes on that last one though. You've got it in you. Good job on those, they look great. What did you use?

    I enjoy your finished images and would also value seeing the image with which you began your journey.

    Alright :) To get a consistent look, all of my AI images are based on a headshot of my avatar:

    Gencraft has tech that is similar to ControlNet Canny for Stable Diffusion that will take elements of the source image and use it in the generated results.

    For the ""bad hair day picture", it generated this from my headshot:

    From there, I cleaned it up and then expanded it in Photoshop:

    Then I rotated and filtered the final image a bit to make it more visually interesting.
