My dog as a badass, not-quite-anime robot warrior, of course!
Discussion
Best likeness of her so far!
(meanwhile real nostr:npub1kumadawgefxjt2c293whsan5sfmdg5tylm0uk39enc6uxxfy5m4scrz2v7 is wondering when in the hell we're going to get our walk started!)
i love this style. You specifically asked for not-quite-anime?
Took some iterations. I couldn't get it to work when I just gave it a picture of Kuma. So I asked for just brand new, complete fabrications like "anime robot dog" that started from nothing. Found a few I liked. Then used one of those renderings plus my pic of Kuma in the same prompt. That got me closer.
Then did that again with that result plus the original Kuma pic. Basically I had to really bias the AI to keep her features so she's basically 1.5 of the input images. The "final" prompt then was:
Adorable female anime robot dog wearing battle armor, in a dynamic action pose, dark golden eyes ::1
Sunset in a futuristic city ::1
Thick acrylic illustration on pixiv, hyper details, fine lines ::1
Wen warrior Milou?!!
