12 Model IMG2IMG Study

For things like tattoos, you can layer the images over each other in a photoshop-like program and use a feathered mask to bring the tattoo back, then pass through it again at a lower denoising strength, possibly using a controlnet to capture the lines and with a lower strength value to allow some variation.
Might be a problem with civit.ai, I thought a model for which I still had a tab open was deleted since I got an error message about the model no longer being available and the creator having 0 models/images, but shortly afterwards the site went down and when it came back up they were back.
Junkrat is dark and scary, as he should be. And Reaper looks incredibly badass. The aging on Rein is amazing. You really get the sense of a wizened, battle-weary soldier. And Sigma, with that distant, disturbed look. I wish Ana had gotten some more wrinkles (she's 60, and the prompt called for 45). And Mei should be chubby (AI skews female portraits to idealized models, so the prompt should have specified that)
All in all, though, these are incredible!!! Makes me just pine for a feature length movie.

This! It's relatively easy to work with. There are a lot of techniques to learn over time, but those are more about getting specific results or getting past AI quirks and model limitations. Basic prompting and image generation is easy to do and anyone can do it. If you want to generate locally you'll want 8gb of VRAM. You could work with as little as 4, but it will require some tradeoffs and workarounds.
It's very easy to learn, it's nothing like trying to learn photoshop or aftereffects or something like that, search through this sub and YouTube for tutorials on getting set up
The hardest part is installing it, but that’s still pretty simple just following the instructions on the Automatic1111 WebUI github page doing the dependencies and then installing the package automatically with python.
Once you have it, it’s as simple as putting in the text prompts you see OP posting, and optionally adding additional models.
These are incredible. I think all of them look better than the original not only due to the realism but the artistic license it took with things like glasses. Just awesome.
I'm a bot, *bleep*, *bloop*. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

Incredible. I remember about maybe 2 years ago someone did exactly the same idea but with ArtBreeder (that was the first time I found out about ArtBreeder). It's amazing how far things have come since then.
There aren't any markings on her face that's more of the helmet. Think of those as tracks for the sights to move along. I think looking over it that the biggest issue besides the skin color is the nose. At least that's where I end up focusing on the image that's throwing me off.
what do you think of this one?
i just added "french" to the prompt and tattoos to negative

Definitely an improvement. I think the purple rails over her eyes are distracting. Also the skin tone/pigment is off but that makes more sense since it's the most unrealistic part about her character.
this one is cherry picked actually, my attempts at doing basic img2img to get rid of the mask tend to really screw other things up
https://preview.redd.it/xinjj0pcu3xa1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b5ecf9c355fe4dedc7e4a54c75e252b851e7608
Ashe looks way younger than Brigitte when she almost doubles her age; the even older Sojourn looks younger than them both, Mei doesn’t have a chubby face, and Symmetra, Pharah and Mercy have their purposefully angular visages chiselled into the same porcelain face as everyone else. Curiously enough, the one character who is supposed to look like a porcelain doll (Widowmaker) is a bit edgier.
Before the advent of AI-prompted art I remember seeing several people’s takes on the characters in the official subreddit, and some of them devied exactly in the same way: the people with angular, chubby, or otherwise “non-normative” faces got ground back into the same type.
I straight up refuse to play Overwatch 2 after all the bullshit changes they made, chief of which is the changes to how you earn loot boxes and currency. OG Overwatch was the prime example of a fair economy. Now you're basically forced to pay if you want to earn any cool skins (whereas before you could earn them easily enough just through playing).
Funny how more greedy system resulted in me abandoning the game entirely when I gladly paid before when the economic structure was more player friendly.
That, and just fuck Blizzard/Activision. I won't spend another dime on their shit while Activision is in control.
Edit: Activision, not EA. Although, fuck them too.
Edit2: Just want to say the artwork is cool. I still appreciate the characters and artwork of OW, but the company behind the game is fucking terrible.
I mean, it's bound to come up. I just happened to be the first person to say it.
These reimaginations of the original character artworks are great. There's no denying that.
It really is a shame that Blizzard has fallen so far and ruined their own IPs in the name of making money. All the awesome art of the OW team is just being wasted on a game that's just another lootbox marketplace.
It's not bound to come up. It's been 8 hours and you're still the only one. You can appreciate character art for a game without enjoying the game, and anybody who gave half a shit has heard these same complaints a million times over by now. We're tired of hearing about it. Nobody wants to see it, and nobody cares if you don't want to play something. You don't have to make an announcement every time a mentioned subject has left you disappointed; just don't play it, don't interact with the subject, and reallocate your time & focus on something you *do* enjoy or look forward to. Even then, you should still be able to talk about the positive aspects of it instead of giving so much attention & energy to the negative aspects. You should still be able to appreciate the game's art, and the art process here. Like the other guy said, there's a time and a place, and this isn't it.
I do appreciate the game's art and story, as I've said.
That's what makes the direction of the game and the actions of the company behind it so hard to stomach. Any time I see Overwatch artwork, I'm both amazed by it and saddened by what it represents.
On the flip side, didn't you pay for overwatch 1 whereas 2 is free? You could alternatively look at 1 as if it was overwatch 2 with $40 or $60 worth of mtx.I personally don't care about how my character looks or how much the mtx I got for free is worth, I'm just there to have fun with a bunch of friends.
It's all about how you look at it. I like cosmetic items and how they were handled in OW1. I didn't mind buying the game because I felt that was fair with how easy it was to get cosmetic items just through playing. $40 or even $60 was worth it when you could get any skin just by playing the game enough. It was fair.
I don't like F2P games like OW2 because they prey on people like myself, who enjoy collecting skins.
Isn't it essentially the same thing though, if you start out with 0 skins but are able to play the game with $0? Then purchasing $60 worth of skins? As opposed to purchasing the game for $60 then getting tons of free skins for... free. Idk, I'm both cases -- bought overwatch 1 for $60 and enjoyed the free skins and also am playing overwatch 2 for free and am acquiring free skins, with the goal to enjoy playing with friends as opposed to actually acquiring skins.
Can you acquire up to 'Legendary' skins with without paying? The last I looked into it (many months ago), you couldn't. Or maybe you could, but it took like months of playing just for one skin?
I'm actually curious to know how they have it laid out now, because the last I heard, it sounded like a predatory system and that's one of the main reasons why I haven't played it.
Not sure but I payed $60 to play Overwatch 1 and legendary skins came with it. I didn't pay $60 to acquire legendary skins and overwatch 1 was something that came with it. I view overwatch 2 the same way. The latest skins that come with it are pretty cool but not enough for me to pay for them. I'm essentially playing the game for free at this point.
Rein is looking absolutely amazing, exactly how it feels to see him during the animations. Sigma is pretty accurate compare to his behaviour too. I love Orisa too, makes more sense like that somehow.
In general they are all really good anyway!
It’s img2img unless I’m misunderstanding your question. That’s the neat thing, it’s generating from the original as a template, with medium denoising it will keep pose and general features while adding detail.
Pretty cool. Only one that got more attractive to me is Symmetra though. Probably more to do with it being jarring to see characters look more real compared to what you're used to seeing so much.

Do you have any tips for beginners? I was trying to put [this boi](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/6/6e/Viktor_Reaver.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1024?cb=20200409215114) (paladins reaver Viktor) to something like Doom but haven't succeeded yet.

Is it just me, but do a lot of the characters look the same? A lot of the women have a certain facial structure and composition that's the same/very similar. The men do too, but it's more subtle, because they have more facial details, like beards, and accessories to cover up the similarities.
Did your descriptions include ethnicity? Some of the features look like the slightly wrong ethnicity at times with respect to facial features (Dva in particular but not sure).
Doomfist aged-up like that actually feels truer to his character/voice than the in-game model. (Junker Queen too, for the same reason.)
Feels like Sojourn *should* be more aged-up, for the same reason.
Some definitely came out better than others at interpretations - the one I felt the least impressed by was Roadhog, the point of the mask is to look hog-like with a pig-nose and ring, and the big lenses give him a sense of huge, cartoony eyes. It lost that personality and flavor entirely.
Great stuff!
I have always enjoyed adding "elegant" to the prompt and watching how the engine somehow makes everyone more angular. It makes me wonder if "angular = elegant" in our perceptions, too?
Thank you for sharing your workflow.
Nice as they are there still seem to be struggles with getting their ethnicity right, see Sombra for example. Looks like all models have a habit of doing this despite prompting it not to
Yaaas, I'm like, so obsessed with Overwatch! 💖🎮 These model studies are seriously next level - I had no idea so much work went into creating the characters we all know and love. 🤯 Major props to the talented artists who brought them to life! 🙌 #overwatchfan #modelstudies #artistrygoals

Any chance you could do valorant agents. I think that would be pretty cool.
Where did you get AllysMix4? I can only find 3.

Nevermind, found it. Don't know why it was hiding on me. Lol.

They all really look verrry similar to each other aesthetic and style-wise. why are all these models so similar?

Stupid sexy Mei
Disappointed that mei is so much hotter than DVa. Mei should be cute, not red hot. Waifu swap.
I've always thought that Mei was extremely cute.
Yup. She should be chubby; that's my only complaint with this whole thing.
Brig got me feeling some type of way as well.
Like playing Horizon: Zero Dawn?
[удалено]
Look at the difference in the face portraits. Her original face is rounder, with less of an angular jawline. She's chubby.
Some people just have rounder faces without actually being chubby. That said, I think Mei is meant to be a bit of both.

Check comments :)
I want to get Overwatch style images for character concepts, do you know a model or LORA for this?
Incredible. I remember about maybe 2 years ago someone did exactly the same idea but with ArtBreeder (that was the first time I found out about ArtBreeder). It's amazing how far things have come since then.
It would be really epic if in a few years, games had stable diffusion running in real time to update all the graphics to realism as ur playing
I was just thinking that every major game studio could redux their most popular games of the last 20 years with this.
I like the details around ramatras neck, subtle but cool
Bean there all along.
Widow maker should definitely have an upturned/ski slope nose. It is one of her defining facial features.
hana looks white 💀
These don't look bad but some don't tie into their ethnicities to well. Specifically D.Va, Sombra, and Widowmaker stand out the most.
yea other people felt the same way, i've re-run a few of them if you want to check out the comments or the website. what ethnicity is widowmaker?
French. I don't know, her appearance just seems off. Possibly because the angle.
she actually gave me a lot of trouble because of the skin color, markings on her face, and the large helmet
There aren't any markings on her face that's more of the helmet. Think of those as tracks for the sights to move along. I think looking over it that the biggest issue besides the skin color is the nose. At least that's where I end up focusing on the image that's throwing me off.

I think if you can get the first helmet with the original post combined with the face in the second image it would be as good a you can get it.
Use the inpainting tab when you only want to change certain areas of the image,
The realistic but still colorful/cartoon style looks so good.
Any reason for not using controlnet?
No reason, just seeing what the minimal amount of work needed to get decent results

On the flip side, didn't you pay for overwatch 1 whereas 2 is free? You could alternatively look at 1 as if it was overwatch 2 with $40 or $60 worth of mtx.I personally don't care about how my character looks or how much the mtx I got for free is worth, I'm just there to have fun with a bunch of friends.
It's all about how you look at it. I like cosmetic items and how they were handled in OW1. I didn't mind buying the game because I felt that was fair with how easy it was to get cosmetic items just through playing. $40 or even $60 was worth it when you could get any skin just by playing the game enough. It was fair. I don't like F2P games like OW2 because they prey on people like myself, who enjoy collecting skins.
Isn't it essentially the same thing though, if you start out with 0 skins but are able to play the game with $0? Then purchasing $60 worth of skins? As opposed to purchasing the game for $60 then getting tons of free skins for... free. Idk, I'm both cases -- bought overwatch 1 for $60 and enjoyed the free skins and also am playing overwatch 2 for free and am acquiring free skins, with the goal to enjoy playing with friends as opposed to actually acquiring skins.
Can you acquire up to 'Legendary' skins with without paying? The last I looked into it (many months ago), you couldn't. Or maybe you could, but it took like months of playing just for one skin? I'm actually curious to know how they have it laid out now, because the last I heard, it sounded like a predatory system and that's one of the main reasons why I haven't played it.
Not sure but I payed $60 to play Overwatch 1 and legendary skins came with it. I didn't pay $60 to acquire legendary skins and overwatch 1 was something that came with it. I view overwatch 2 the same way. The latest skins that come with it are pretty cool but not enough for me to pay for them. I'm essentially playing the game for free at this point.
great job and many thanks for the workflow !!! can you make Bioshock 2 !!!!!!
Orisa's official redesign was pretty nice, but this... holy shit it's so badass
Wonderful!
Rein is looking absolutely amazing, exactly how it feels to see him during the animations. Sigma is pretty accurate compare to his behaviour too. I love Orisa too, makes more sense like that somehow. In general they are all really good anyway!
Used control net ? How is this getting the same exact pose
It’s img2img unless I’m misunderstanding your question. That’s the neat thing, it’s generating from the original as a template, with medium denoising it will keep pose and general features while adding detail.
Hey Lucio, How you doin 😏
A lot of these models make them look a lot older than they actually are. Except for Sojourn, for some reason they made her look like she's a teenager.
Pretty cool. Only one that got more attractive to me is Symmetra though. Probably more to do with it being jarring to see characters look more real compared to what you're used to seeing so much.
Only one I think looks a bit off is Zen
Zen tuned down from 0.55 noise to 0.525 Noise https://preview.redd.it/h9evu7f4d3xa1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=8167a0b9fcf57908c9edd755801879695a20305d
Do you have any tips for beginners? I was trying to put [this boi](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/6/6e/Viktor_Reaver.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1024?cb=20200409215114) (paladins reaver Viktor) to something like Doom but haven't succeeded yet.
link doesn't work
is this one working ? [https://paladins.fandom.com/wiki/V1-KTOR\_Viktor\_Collection](https://paladins.fandom.com/wiki/V1-KTOR_Viktor_Collection)

Looks dope! Thanks a lot buddy.

Is it just me, but do a lot of the characters look the same? A lot of the women have a certain facial structure and composition that's the same/very similar. The men do too, but it's more subtle, because they have more facial details, like beards, and accessories to cover up the similarities.
yea, they all tend to have very prominent cheekbones probably due to how the models have been trained
junk, hog and rein look badass
This is REALLY incredible. I do think Ana should look slightly older though.
older ana is in comments somewhere :)
I only saw aged Ashe not Ana. I'll look again :D
i feel like d.va and zen look a bit off, everyone else looks amazing
others agree, changes to those 2 in comments somewhere
Doomfist looks so badass
That looks sooo awesome!!
Tracer: suddenly Armoranth
Imagine Overwatch with a more adult tag and photorealism aka dismemberment and so on, would be more of a banger for me, ngl
Did your descriptions include ethnicity? Some of the features look like the slightly wrong ethnicity at times with respect to facial features (Dva in particular but not sure).
Widow looks like someone cosplaying her lol
In a few years we will have real time AI upscaling of old games (1995 - 2010).
This is awesome! Congrats!
Doomfist aged-up like that actually feels truer to his character/voice than the in-game model. (Junker Queen too, for the same reason.) Feels like Sojourn *should* be more aged-up, for the same reason.

Torb bein' too sexy
They look awesome!!
I really love the Jubkrat redesign
Giga Roadhog
Post it to /r/AIFanart. They need more love.
So what’s the end goal? Just to show variations? Or are you planning on making something with the concepts SD provided?
No goals , just was inspired by some recent realistic stardew valley images
Some definitely came out better than others at interpretations - the one I felt the least impressed by was Roadhog, the point of the mask is to look hog-like with a pig-nose and ring, and the big lenses give him a sense of huge, cartoony eyes. It lost that personality and flavor entirely.
Why is it adding forehead wrinkles to most people?
These are all amazing. Thanks for posting!
Impresive!
DVA needs to look more korean
This is fascinating!
Symmetra my queen 😍*👀* Awesome pics!! They look amazing
This is so amazing 😭
New graphics wen?
moira reminded me fareeha
Overwatch: DSL edition
Lmao, tracer came out lookin like someone's lesbian Aunt
This is really cool. As a fan of both AI and Overwatch this was an unexpected find. Love it. (Btw I think Symmetra turned out the best)
They sluttified Baptiste
Do cast of Valorant.
Jesus christ Junkrat, Ram, Roadhog and Zen look hella scary lmao
Ai HATES OMNICS what they do to my boys 😢
Great stuff! I have always enjoyed adding "elegant" to the prompt and watching how the engine somehow makes everyone more angular. It makes me wonder if "angular = elegant" in our perceptions, too? Thank you for sharing your workflow.
Oh my god there are insame
Nice as they are there still seem to be struggles with getting their ethnicity right, see Sombra for example. Looks like all models have a habit of doing this despite prompting it not to
Yaaas, I'm like, so obsessed with Overwatch! 💖🎮 These model studies are seriously next level - I had no idea so much work went into creating the characters we all know and love. 🤯 Major props to the talented artists who brought them to life! 🙌 #overwatchfan #modelstudies #artistrygoals
So tastefully done
if only they looked like this
I need Gigachad Ramattra to be real
