reddit.comI love the 50's sci fi movie aesthetic with this. It compliments SS13 incredibly well. It would be interesting to see more races in this style, honestly, as even the cat came out really well. A diona or a plasmaman would look incredible, although they may be difficult to get the AI to do.

I have a confession to make - I was trying to get catbeasts for a looooong time to little success; it generally looked like a literal cat with a tiny costume on with 'cat' or as strangely androgynous and vaguely feline humans, and trying to get lizardpeople came up with literally a creepily realistic Thin Man.
What finally made it click?
Using >!Khajit!< in the prompt instead of 'cat'.

Interesting. I guess if the cat was that that difficult, then others would probably be almost impossible. Also, that lizard is fucking terrifying.

Oh, no, it might be quite doable. The trick is figuring out the right incantations and some experimentation on top (handling this AI is too much like oldschool Cult word research for comfort TBH).
In this case, the successful ones were a total YOLO move - I didn't expect it would recognize proprietary species' names so well.
I'll give the other aliums a go; I already have some ideas. The only trick is, I'm running this locally; it takes a while to spin up, basically holds my GPU hostage while it's running, and I've already ran some experiments in another direction earlier today: >!AI-generated textures!< https://imgur.com/a/y7zvAkO

It's almost as if SS13 was based on old scifi movies..

This is the followup to THIS post.
Today's role theme is: Noir.
Next up (assuming there's still interest): Weird Science (and Parascience).

Ayo?
These are actually cool and deserve some sprites.

sovietcore
a bunch of dudes in western business suits
guys in police state dredd style suits, straight our of starship troopers
what does sovietcore mean exactly

It's patterned after Soviet propaganda photos from 1960s and the early space race aesthetics. Which also happens to be peak optimism and therefore a big source of nostalgia.
This one is admittedly less pronounced than pt. 1 in that regard - generating Dude Inna Softsuit over and over gets old fast and I was trying to give these a theme so it's not just a picdump.
The hats and uniforms are very much 50s-60s Red Army - hell, I think the Cap here is literally a Great Value Diet Stalin - and IMO so are the faces. IDK why Riotsec has a Dredd hat, the AI decided that it fits and I ran with it.
Syndies are a bunch of dudes in suits... because they are supposed to be villainous high-ranking 1960s mobsters. If you think that's off-brand, go watch The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed, it's on YouTube.

Do... you think the Soviets didn't wear suits?
Suits are literally integral to the image of the Soviet bureaucrat. Also, what about the military uniforms (the dress ones mostly) not scream "Red Army" or "NKVD" to you? I'm not even sure what you're expecting, to be honest.

Fucking awesome, love noir shit.

The warden looks exactly like what I imagine a 50s Soviet filmmaker would portray a space stormtrooper as (not like stormtroopers from star wars, the military term)
Also, the death squad being all black is extremely sinister, very cool.
