IverCold asked in my previous post how I made chibi Malifaux characters.
It’s an iterative process. Usually I paste Wyrd’s official art into ChatGPT and ask for a chibi version, and I describe everything the character is wearing, their hairstyle and so on, as ChatGPT will usually fixate on one element.
The header image shows Rasputina dueling Perdita. Normally I would just render them separately, and then render the background separately, and composite them together in GIMP or Inkscape, but today I thought I’d try and do it all in one shot. It didn’t go well. ChatGPT really can only focus on one character at a time.
I thought it would be fun to try rendering a non-Arcanist master.
This is Perdita Ortega, the master of the Family keyword, in the Guild faction. The Ortegas have become the Guild enforcers; they will go where they must to bring down their marks.
Raspy does not do well against the Family.
Prompt 1
Here’s the first prompt I tried for Perdita:
“Chibi anime-style young woman with long black hair with streaks of gray, wearing a very wide brimmed brown hat with a red hatband decorated with large silver studs, a tight low cut tank top, a brown leather bolero jacket, a long red sash around her waist, jeans with long, red-trimmed leather chaps, boots with spurs, two holsters, leather gloves, pointing a huge revolver, old west vibe. Expression: deadly calm and dangerous.”
ChatGPT rendered her with a tight black vest instead of her tank top.
Prompt 2
I pasted the official art for the second try, and added this:
“That is very close; I added the official art for context. Make her shirt a light gray tank top, as in the art. We’re looking for a female sexy but old gunslinger vibe. This is for the Malifaux master Perdita Ortega.”
ChatGPT did a pretty good job, but used a cowboy hat instead of her iconic bolero hat.
Prompt 3
When making prompt changes, it’s always a good idea to keep including details. ChatGPT will not remember them if you don’t keep emphasizing them.
“rerender the image but make the hat a flat, wide brimmed bolero hat with a raised brim along the edge, brown to match her leather outfit, with a red hatband decorated with large silver studs.”
Close enough for government work. I just noticed that the official Perdita art has her left handed. Oh well.
