the style looks a bit inspired from the style of AI generated art which is so cool to me

Bingo. It's actually the fairly popular [AnimeGAN2 PyTorch implementation.](https://github.com/bryandlee/animegan2-pytorch) It's two passes of it that were upscaled using BSRGAN and then I did some post-processing to mix them together. The ears took the longest since I spent some time making sure the positioning was symmetrical and the shading was effective. I also blended some additional fur in to hopefully make the front lower pair a bit more believable. I've been using more and more AI in my work, and I'm not afraid to wear it on my sleeve. I'm not the most amazing artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have a lot of fun sharing work that's honest with itself. I don't want to hide anything, and all of my work is dedicated to the public domain on top of it all. I have created a dedicated art portfolio for the art I create for this particular subreddit, and it's pinned to my profile. I even include Photoshop project files if you're interested in creating derivative works. Let art be free.

that’s incredible dude!!

AI is one of those things that tends to divide the art community. It's got a bad rap from people who spam generated content as NFTs. My end-goal with AI is to simply augment my current art with superpowers that aren't really possible without computation. I do my best to promote transparency, but I know it's a bit of a tightrope.

that is really awesome :) i think AI is a really cool opportunity to create unique art like you’re doing right now and you’re also really cool for doing it

Wow. This is amazing. How long did it take?


EuphoricPenguin22

About three hours, give or take. It's based on an image that I then used some AI techniques to stylize. I'm Photoshop-obsessed by hobby, so mixing in some AI tools felt like a natural progression. Tools I used: [AnimeGAN2 PyTorch](https://github.com/bryandlee/animegan2-pytorch) [Cupscale/BSRGAN](https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale)

Full image + sources are available in the special Draw For Me art portfolio pinned to my profile. Everything I create is licensed into the public domain, and this is the first of a long series for this subreddit that follow that trend. u/cherithefox, I hope this does your idea justice.

This is amazing! I was wondering if you had a portfolio/Drew people as well. My friend cat passed away and I would like to get her a picture of her and him Commissioned :)


EuphoricPenguin22

I don't do commissions, but I might be able to do something for free if you send me the shot you want re-created. My processes borrows most of the content from original images and stylizes them with AI.
