[AI Image Generation] "Colors of Möbius🌹": Even as times change, expression never fades: Gemini

Thank you for finding this article🥰

I'm Natsume, walking alongside AI while using it as it evolves every day😊

This time, it's about creating 1990s-style illustrations, 【Gemini】 version😊

🔽PixAI version

Since PixAI uses "random 4-image generation," the correction method makes my head spin with the various combinations of prompts, models, and LoRAs.

Well, this time I asked the chat-based AI, Gemini.
※I am generating these for free.

🔽Past Gemini works

In my experience, Gemini was also good at anime styles😊
And although I don't have much of a relationship with Gemini (wait, what?), I would like to introduce what it can draw.

First, the theme,

"Colors of Möbius"

is it.

Do you all know the term "Möbius strip"?

In other words,
a Möbius strip is
a single surface that has no distinction between front and back and is connected infinitely.

To speak more conceptually,
・There is no "good or evil" there
・Good things and bad things repeat, and it never ends
・In a sense, it is also a vast "universe"

It is also a term that can express that.

This is one of the meanings of the word that moved me deeply, as it was expressed abstractly in an anime.

I couldn't help but feel that this term, Möbius strip, applies to the current "AI situation."

I am well aware that many people still view AI negatively.
Humans created AI, and AI has already become a part of society.
The spread and influence of that AI are tremendous, and now AI itself is

A Mobius strip

is what I think it might be.

I believe people can no longer escape the "loop" that is AI.

How will we use this AI, which is a Mobius strip?

How will we face it?

Actually, while I was attempting 1990s-style illustrations on PixAI, the word "Mobius" appeared in the lyrics of a song I was listening to on YouTube.

That reminded me of an anime, and when I happened to ask Gemini about "Mobius" once again, these thoughts came to mind.

That anime series started in the 1980s and continues to this day.

This "flow."
Gemini, would you like to try drawing a 1990s-style illustration...?

That is how it came to be that I had Gemini draw it for me.

I named it "Mobius Colors" so that the AI would "add color" to Natsume.

Colors

is what I decided on.

The character depicted is

a noble girl who decided not just to be protected, but to fight herself

as it were.

And this time, I tried two patterns for the Natsume-style illustration creation method.
I tried it in two patterns.

Alright, Gemini, I'm counting on you😊

1. First attempt: 1990s setting illustration

I created this using a "1990s style" prompt.

It drew a woman with a striking, intense look. Gemini, you're pretty good at this✨

I'll make some adjustments from here.

It feels a little too "modern"...

Ah... I forgot to include something important in the prompt. Since PixAI had a LoRA for that💦 But now it's Gemini! I completely left out a crucial word.

With chat-based generation, the "prompt" is everything.

I think it's amazing that Gemini can draw the line between manga and anime.

I'll try changing the angle.

From here, I'll try changing the composition, movement, clothing, and hairstyle even further.

(2) Specify the composition first, and add the instruction "1990s" at the end.

I will specify the hairstyle, pose, and direction.

Since I feel like Gemini is getting the idea,
I will make the final adjustments from here.

I will make it a close-up.

Finally, I will instruct it to be in the style of the 1990s.

How was it?

I put a lot of different meanings into this one.

On other social media, I often just post completed art or illustrations, but I am grateful that on note, I can share the process and background of the illustration generation in words like this with everyone.

A single illustration or piece of art can be easily created with AI.

But as for the meaning embedded in that depiction, I, Natsume, am still sharing it here through "words," and I am publishing it as one form of expression.

I think it would be the ultimate happiness if I could one day create a work that "tells a story" with just a single picture😊

Well then, I will end it here for this time🥰

Thank you so much for reading😊✨

Thank you always for your likes, comments, magazine additions, tips, and for using Min-Photo😊✨

I am truly happy✨
It is very encouraging(´;ω;｀)🐳

See you later, and have a wonderful AI image generation life~💐
