Continuing in showing the AI-generated images I’ve created of characters, here is Apollonia!

Admittedly this one came out too perfect, almost model-like. But the angularity of her face and her tired eyes seem spot-on for someone who has been malnourished and living on the margins all her life. I told it that her eyes were violet, but the AI translated this into her hair and lips . . . I suppose she could take on this look, but she’s actually much more plain.

This image is probably closer in some ways. Apollonia is not beautiful, and her hair is very dark. She is very pale, but not . . . paper white as above.

It can be surprisingly hard to get decent images out of the program. I had a lot of them turn out in very disturbing forms, like this.

Another interesting, slightly less disturbing (but still inaccurate image) is this one:

As yet, I’ve had very little luck with characters who are different than normal humans, IE Urle with his cybernetics or alien characters. Or the Craton itself, for that matter! I’m going to have to find a good artist who can do spaceships for that . . .

I’ve been trying to create quite a number of images, to be honest
