I could do something dynamic but I always like to just redo something I already did as a comparison

Everybody uses it for video, all I want is for it to stick to my references, all I ever wanted out of AI. It's taken them this many years to do that and its not what most people use it for :P

Ok, now I gotta try this with Jai just to say I did

Thanks! I'm trying to get some tests off the ground and do meaningful stuff, but I swear everytime I get my head above water it gets silly again. But this kind of stuff I can do in two minutes, the Castlevania art stuff is some of the easiest to gen without even referencing the series

To think oh how different the village and slow burn infatuation dynamic with Carmilla would go if Andrei was a woman

I've read Le Fanu's Carmilla for reference, big lesbian overtones there, but unfortunately its a really dull book and only good as the earliest example of vampire fiction. I'm still planning to finish Kiss of Stone and Ebon Gaze, but its a challenging and interesting thought exercise (cont)

I'm not nearly into it as much as he is, but I'm very interested in the process, when you can look at the char and see how it makes sense without being obvious like stick a d-cup and a big ol' princess bow on them and calling it a day.

I'm also interested on how it would change things plot wise

Oh, and this is just my experience, with tech AND writing, you'll have more eureka moments if you just come back to it with a clear head than beating it against a wall for a solid week. Once I solved a graphics card issue by taking a nap!

My boss and wife, as you can imagine, LOVE my attitude

I also really like Rorikstead and the surrounding areas as a setting. Its full of nothing and surrounded by nothing, and for this story it feels like its own character to me. It's like the Skyrim equivalent of Kansas, everybody should drive through once just to appreciate how full of nothing it is

I don't like making her too pretty cuz she's really not pushing 40, the lizard part of your brain'll start thinking maybe I understand where he's coming from, you shouldn't. The Amano style naturally does that, especially you gotta be careful making her "serious", it pushes her up 2 points easy

Course hell, it's Juri. She could just as easily get me into pie sitting or some such, you meet your loved ones in the middle

Keep forgetting this one:

Oh right, one more. I'm not a big fan of the hood up look, but I don't think you can do much better if you're going that route
