Ready for a night out on the town...

 

...but is the town ready for them?

Three Do's and a Don't

Yes, the Quaids are back from their latest shopping expedition, and couldn't wait to show you their latest acquisitions:

The Quaids: Before and After

 So, quadruplets are usually defined as four children born from the same mother at the same time (generally identical in appearance). Here we have the aptly named Quaid girls taking a candid selfie on their eighteenth birthday...

...followed by the exact same four; washed, scrubbed and blow-dried for their boudoir shoot (and wearing as little as their Mom will allow). Amazing how a touch of lipstick and gloss can change your entire outlook, isn't it? :)

Twin Desires

And now for another a trip to AI land, where stunning blonde beauties model their black designer lingerie in the street. The original had a few anomalies (extra/missing fingers etc), but we managed to clean them up in photoshop. Will be posting more like as time permits.

The Panty Wars

Presenting our latest OS project: The Panty Wars! Panty Wars is the heart-warming story of a group of Shibuya college girls who start photographing each other's underwear to post on the school website. The pranks escalate to a LEGALLY BINDING WAGER in which the losers will be forced to model their bare essentials in public. The result is wall-to-wall knickers as each contestant struggles to maintain her clothing along with her dignity!

Caught in her Underwear (AI version)

So, there's a huge argument going on over at DeviantART at the moment; apparently, "traditional" artists want AI banned from the internet until the end of time.

Speaking for myself, I completely disagree. The technology can now be used to improve artwork. Compare the two pics posted below - tradition media enhanced by Artificial Intelligence. It's pretty obvious which one looks better.

Sooner or later, we'll be able to produce an entire manga in less than a day, using just simple line drawings and an AI program.

Glory and Kitty (AI Version)

 Different Dimension wasn't quite sure what to make of this Glory Bea cartoon:

 But it still gave us a nice winter-themed "postcard" to see the year out:

Merry Christmas, one and all.

Different Dimension Me

Our heartfelt thanks to Churrinho, for introducing us to the truly amazing Different Dimension Me. While the system has a few limitations (see previous posts) DDM is not only capable of converting regular photos into anime-style avatars, but can actually improve on existing CGI. Case in point: we took this tired old piece from Kogaru Diaries:

And transformed it into these:

BTW: All of these images are in the public domain. Use them however you see fit. :)

Some more AI

So, we finally managed to access QQ AI once more, and immediately uploaded this image of our resident joshikosei, Saori and Keiko:

For some inexplicable reason, the AI had some minor problems with the background, but did a commendable commensurate job on the figurework:

The experiment continued with Saori & Keiko in their underwear:

And as expected, our trusty QQ came through with the goods:

Artificial Intelligence

So, the new fad of the moment is artificial intelligence software that converts photos into anime drawings. We tested some of TISA's MMD screencaps out in this ground-breaking software and were frankly astonished by the results. Here's a selection of images from the QQ AI program:

Our thanks to Churrinho for providing these superb conversions.
