Snake meeting Sarah Kerrigan to give her a gift!
Sarah returning the favor.
I knew from the start I wanted Snake in the mix, and I immediately knew what day would fit. A stealth-focused character just seemed a good mix when you have to set it in or near water. I threw Kerrigan in because A) she's cool, and B) I thought she'd pair well Snake, both being stealth-based.
This was a really tough one, and I know it's because I was asking for a lot. The swans were spazzing out and turning into freakish mutants, and I didn't do myself any favors trying to generate two characters that I wanted specific looks for at the same time. The whole thing took ages and, while I'm relatively happy with the results, it still wasn't exactly what I wanted. I wanted to lean in more to the stealth angle, which was the whole inspiration, but couldn't get it to really represent stealth and movement.
Here are a few things to illustrate more what I wanted initially:
Sarah and snake crouching.
They're smuggling presents!
Eh.
Bonus that went off topic and doesn't capture the feel, but is awesome.
Super creative shots!
edit: love the checkpoint/model you did for Kerrigan. That's pretty much what I'd want from an anime-ized Sarah. She can be a tough one depending on the model.
Thanks!
As to my methods...rather unsophisticated and brute force. I don't know much about AI image generators, honestly.
I looked it up, it looks like the generator on the site I use uses Flux AI, so I guess that's the base.
I am thinking of getting into it more, might download the one arglide mentioned previously, to start with. I'll have to look into it. Mine is pretty limited, at the moment.
Husbando day! Lol. Solid Snake babysits seven swans during cold plunge training in a backyard around 36° F. He attac, but he also protec. u/Impishdesire gave me the idea, so hopefully she likes it.
Also check the comments in the threads for more contributions like Lara Croft, chocobos, Pokemon birds, and Johnny Silverhand from u/Kienan and u/arglide.
I went in the opposite direction. Waifu day where it's very warm. I hope it's not just me that likes Xenoblade 2, because it's Pyra and Mythra at 6000x2000 resolution. I'm pretty pleased with this one. The video is okay.
And a video from when I was going in a different direction. Kind of cute, but the resolution was too low.
Woah. Really nice composition!
Those are great, nice work!
I feel like kojima would have put him in a giant swan head wearing a santa hat, for its tactical battlefield camouflage potential.
I like the matching scarf and hat, but I don't know how you kept from doing a christmas tree with a bunch of cardboard boxes under it for Snake and seven swans.
To be honest, yeah lol
Oh, you've got to be shitting me...I'm using Snake too!
That's too funny.
Nice, I like yours. I'll post mine when I get it.
