I'm pretty noobish to that. Is that a paid service ? I would be curious to test that.

-What is the exact prompt you typed for the maid character?
I want to understand a bit.

maid apron / waist apron, maid headdress, mob cap, frills, puffy sleeves

Also did you had to add some specific pictures to help them understanding Nishimura style or the character appearance or just prompt ?

Nope! If you have a powerful enough GPU, Stable Diffusion is open source and completely free! There are paid online alternatives for lower end PCs, though I know nothing about them.

That Marie portrait was helped massively by the character LoRA, so I'm not sure how you would generate it with just the base model. With an anime base model, though, I believe

Code:

maid apron / waist apron, maid headdress, mob cap, frills, puffy sleeves

are the Danbooru tags for the outfit.

I trained a style LoRA on every Nishimura CvS1 and CvS2 portrait. That is what is responsible for the style replication.

(I don't have a dedicated GPU at the moment, so it's gonna be just a theory from my part... )

How viable do you guys think it might be, the idea of a style transfer of sorts that helps "converting" a character's sprite (individually, or a full sheet) into another one with a similar style?


Y'know, sorta like this rough illustration: detect the shapes, then change the shading and, if possible, some of the proportions as well;



I'm aware that the current A.I. tools might still be kinda wonky, when it comes to pixel art. But even a result that is similar enough to the desired style could still help speeding up the workflow of a full sprite sheet by quite a bunch, perhaps...?

If you have a powerful enough GPU...
