Your "Dracula" character is possibly the least vampiric Dracula I've ever seen tbh

I agree. Bruhcula? Something like that. He's a vampire, but also models and does stunts for Baywatch - too much color and vitality. Joan of Arc is way more pale. Maybe a little mode collapse away from pale ugliness, not quite getting to the hints of unnatural and corpse-like features of a vampire - interesting what the limitations are. You'd probably have to spend quite a lot of time zeroing in, but Google's image models are supposed to have allowed smooth traversal of those feature spaces generally.

  Flux Kontext does pretty well also, for modifications. Though I’ve otherwise found the Flux models somewhat stubbornly locked into certain compositions at times that requires a control net to break where other models have been more pliable, though with other trade offs.

That looks exactly like the photos on a Spirit Halloween costume.

Having a Statue of Liberty character available is for some reason so funny to me.

  Makes a lot of sense for some short kid's skit teaching them about the branches of government or whatever. One could also get more creative with the Statue of Liberty and Joan of Arc.

If anything, the ubiquity of AI has just revealed how many people have 0 taste. It also highlights the important role that these human-centred jobs were doing to keep these people from contributing to the surface of any artistic endeavour in "culture".

  There is a reason people (used to) study art and train for years. Easy art is often no art because you need that effort and investment, and learning artistic context, to understand and appreciate. Which is not to say don’t be creative, I applaud all creativity, but also to be very critical of what you are doing.

    I've been playing around with T2I/I2V generation to make some NSFW stuff of video-game characters using ComfyUI. It's pretty easy to get something decent. It's really hard to get something good. I share my creations with some close friends and some are like "that's hot!" but are too fixated on breasts to realize that the lighting or shadow is off. Other friends do call out the bad lighting. You may be like "it's just porn, why care about consistent lighting?" and the answer for me is that I'm doing all this to learn how everything works. How to fine tune weights, prompts, using IP Adapter, etc. Once I have a firm understanding of this stuff, then I will probably be able to make stuff that's actually useful to society. Unlike that coke commercial.

      You can do better than porn which isn't very useful to society.
