Well after some time fiddling with the knobs, I've got one of the AI art programs (stable diffusion) to create some stuff that I'm happy with & is way better than I can do on my own. Feast your eyes! Or don't, I have no idea how many of y'all share this sub-thing for cartoonish digital art, within the already weird main thing
AI art generators can pop out some amazing stuff but, imo, this is great effort but the literal plastic barbie doll look is very off putting. it'd probably look great either with a more anime style or realistic style but the current style... just, no.

With respect, I think you're really underselling yourself here. I think your other stuff (the hand-drawn stuff, I assume) is *really* good - like, at least as good as the AI stuff, if not better. For me personally, I enjoy your stuff because it feels warm and alive. I think it reflects your personality and the fun that you have with art and WAM.
And, like, if you enjoy the AI stuff, too, then by all means go for it. I'm not trying to, like, argue you out of what you like. I just wanted you to know that there are people who are legitimate fans of "what you can do on your own"
Hey thanks for the feedback! especially the kind words Larry. Here's another batch -- I hadn't tried training the model on my own art before, I assumed it would give a really rough result. Worked better than I thought!
Some of these I left with a drawn look, others I refined with the AI to give it a bit more "painted" richness. I had a good time with them, let me know what you think!
It looks more like screen grabs from a 3D animation rather than individually generated images.
I can see why some are put off by the cartoonish look, personally I don't find it overly uncanny. Then again I used to watch hentai (3D animated, looked like source filmaker??) so it's each to their own. You've got some great effects with how the slime splatters and covers the body.
AI seems particularly adept at doing slime stuff. These are pretty great. I'd love to see how much variety, in terms of slime textures, one could coax from the AI.
