Albedo Figure AI Art Deep Dive

This is the Albedo Figure that the art in this post is based on

Hey there. Albedo is one of my favorite anime characters. I love the personality, the looks, the character, pretty much just about everything Albedo, I am all for. So it's only natural for me to grab one of the Otaku Box Figures from years past and put it through the AI machine to see what I can churn out. The picture above is the original picture I took and below is the progression of how I came to the finished art.

Trying my Hand at AI Art Made from Pictures I Take

 

Hey there. I've been away for awhile. I was a bit lost for some time. Motivation was at an all time low and I just wasn't feeling it. Didn't feel like writing... didn't feel like reviewing... didn't feel like playing video games... didn't even feel like taking pictures. All the things that I had hoped would spark the drive again...simply didn't. So I've spent the last 2 months or so away from the internet. For the most part, that is. I did spend a lot of time chatting it up with community members at The Otaku Box Community and I spent a lot of time on Tik Tok. Both of these were instrumental in finally snapping me out of my funk. Tik Tok for exposing me to AI art and the TOB community members for providing me the confidence and feedback needed to pursue this. Pursue what? AI art made from pictures that I take! So... here me out...

Stepping into the New Year with New Goals

Time to work on my craft!

Hey there, friends. It's been awhile since I last checked in with you. It's been a super hectic second half of 2021 for me. But I'm sure it's been the same for many of you. Covid is still wrecking havoc on a lot of our plans and we're all still trying to make life as normal as possible. The silver lining amongst the chaos is the opportunity to work from home. Not only does it offer me more time to spend with my family but it also offers me the opportunity to work on podcasting, reviewing, and expanding my horizons. With that opportunity now there, it's time to step up my game. Time to step up my podcasting goals, time to improve on my reviewing skills, and time to let the creativity flow. Today, I took in additional step to getting better.
