[Guest Judge]

AICU Editor-in-Chief Dr. Shirai

Editor-in-Chief of AICU Magazine, author of "SD Yellow Book" and "Learning ComfyUI from Scratch." He is also the creator of LuC4.

We will specifically evaluate the understanding of the theme 'Valentine's Gift from a Boy,' the situation expressed in the still image, the emotional and directorial aspects that appeal to the viewer, and the technical image creation using tools like ComfyUI. Of course, for creators aiming for the 'Full-Support Boyfriend [LuC4] Fan Art Award,' understanding the LuC4 fan base is also a very important element.

[Judging Criteria] Dr. Shirai (In charge of Full-Support Boyfriend [LuC4] Fan Art Award and AICU Award)

The toughest judges might be the die-hard LuC4 fans!

Recent research on Animagine XL 4.0 is also being shared along with LuC4 prompts.

The 'time tags' that can express different ages are also a new technique.

Please also check out the just-released 'Shared ComfyUI' from AICU!

Setsuna Creation - Kaho Fujiyoshi

From Setsuna Creation, a creative production company that creates and directs moments, the evaluation criterion is whether the 'excitement of the moment' is expressed!

I'm looking forward to the live event too!

It's just an image, but
the left side is not enough, and the right side emphasizes the feeling that can be sensed
