Four Aerith clips, all made the same way.
After testing them, yeah… the outfit and background do seem to affect how the character turns out. Guess that makes sense 😅
Anyway, I’m getting a bit tired of belly dancing. Time to try something else.
Tried a different outfit. Maybe a little too youthful? Too cute? 🤔
The face looks good, though. Starting to think the outfit might be affecting how the face comes out too.
Aerith’s face looks better now, but it’s still a little off…
Been struggling with her face since the image-generation days. Such subtle features, so hard to get right. Always ends up looking a bit too CG 😅
Left: before the fix. Right: after.
The smile’s still not quite right, honestly, but overall, Aerith finally stays close enough to the look I’m going for when she moves.
Looks like this could work for Tifa and Yuffie too! ✨
Started noticing it more with Tifa’s dance clips—the face was drifting a bit from the look I’d specified. Still close enough to live with for Tifa.
Been getting things ready for Aerith to dance too, but her face kept drifting even further. Too far to let it slide.
So, back to experimenting with ways to keep the face consistent first.
Found a little glimmer of hope, but whether it’ll work consistently… still too early to tell 😅
Left: Aerith drifting off course.
Right: that little glimmer of hope ✨
Tifa’s Maya-inspired dance, round 3 💃
Feels like this is about as far as I can take it for now.
Getting her to dance to the music doesn’t seem doable, so I’m just putting some music over it and calling it a day.
Still, just being able to make something that looks the part is fun.
Couldn’t figure out what to cut, so this ended up a little long. Music videos are hard 😅
Btw, reworked my generation process starting with the last video.
The details look so much cleaner now. Even in full-body shots, you can still see that reddish tint in Tifa’s eyes. That alone makes me really happy ✨
Takes longer to generate now, though…😅
Tifa dancing in a Maya-inspired outfit. Round 2 💃
Oh, right. This is starting to feel like a music video… which means I actually need some artistic sense 😅
Picking the music and matching the dancing to it is a ridiculous amount of work.
So much still needs improving.
But that whole “wait… what if I tried…” process is what matters.
I’ve decided to embrace the sensitive label and keep this account going as it is.
So, here’s an outfit inspired by Maya from Dragon Quest. I’m working on a dance for her too!
Posting more on my alt lately.
@MartiAIArtistf
Switching up my workflow has been working really well—almost nothing gets thrown out anymore. Now posting everything is the tedious part 😅 Feels like back when I was generating images.
I know I keep saying this, but if you stick with it long enough, you eventually hit a breakthrough. So my goal is simply to keep going.
AI still blows my mind all the time. At this point, I can’t imagine being without it 🤖
But using AI has also made me realize just how incredible humans are as tools—brains, creativity, and even the ability to physically make things happen.
@StarShowerAI Apparently there are cases where this gets lifted, so I’m gonna keep at it for now.
Your account really goes all in though—honestly, kind of refreshing 😆
Probably because I follow you, but your posts still show up in my timeline like normal.
My main account gets marked sensitive no matter what I post, so I’ve been taking a break for a while 😮💨
Figured if I left it alone, maybe X would eventually let its guard down. But yesterday I retweeted a completely harmless post from my alt for the first time in a while, and it still got flagged sensitive.
So yeah… guess that didn’t work. I’ll stick to text posts and the occasional image for a bit and see if X eventually chills out 🤷
