Thursday Thoughts: The Tough Guys

No Universal wisdom today. Oh, there’s some out there but I thought I’d share the character pics that aren’t quite right and get your opinions. Meet Caleb and Nikos. My problem with Caleb’s representation is that the clothes are all wrong and his hair is too shaggy. I’m still trying to word things differently to get the same pic but with small differences. Nikos is pretty close. His eyes should be lighter–and silver instead of green. And the scruff. It gives “5 o’clock” shadow a whole new meaning. Oh, and the signet ring is on the wrong hand. I specified every time that he wears it on his right. And, every time, it comes up on his left. Again, I have to figure out a way to word things. People who use AI to make videos and often pics

As a bonus, I’ve added a triptych of Nikos I made with Copilot some time ago. Again, it’s not quite perfect. Copilot took the reference photo too literally and Nikos looks bald. He’s note. His hair is close cropped but there, and a slightly lighter brown than what BB’s AI put on him. Anyway, it’s a process and it’s still kind of fun. I still need to create Roman, as mentioned. And then there’s the Wolves. Oh boy! *rubs hands together in glee* But first things first. Also, as a bonus, Nikos in dragon form. Hrm…I should probably to one of Caleb in wolf form too.

The other thing I have to figure out in Book Brush is how to “lighten the mood” in the pictures. All it takes is time and practice, right? So…I’m really interested in your thoughts.

    Cool. Not how I’d pictured either of them, but that’s how reading works. I expect that if I asked a dozen readers to create an AI of Zeke, I’d get a dozen different Zekes. These are all cool, though. Looks like you’re having fun creating them, too. Yay!
