Artists in need of aid for creating original designs for characters may find inspiration from this recently surfaced website, as it allows visitors to generate completely unique anime faces based on selected specifications.
The options that users can adjust on the special website:
A mere handful of the thousands of designs that users can stumble upon, with art-styles ranging from 1997 to 2015:
Additionally, a technical report detailing the creation and devotion behind the generator was available at Comiket 92; naturally many are wondering what fabulous invention will be made next…
few options, it sucks.
Just warning you weebs, some of these randomly generated faces are abominations of nightmaric proportions.
You are bound to meet these abominations one or two times in this kind of system.
Aren’t they scared of being sued for character similarities?
If you use a website to generate a character, it’s not your “original” design now is it?
It’s only for inspiration and maybe reference. Beside like science, in a sense artwork are derivative work (drawing style, techniques, etc). Something that’s completely new is primitive and probably won’t be as pleasing as time-tested formula of older works.
Now we wait for v2; generating high res images as oppose to now but they have first to train using a high res dataset
The computing resource required will become really huge. So it will be difficult, for the short term at least. I will probably recommend using MakeGirls to make your waifu, then resize it using waifu2x to make it higher resolution.
