New Image Of Laura From My Novel Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page

New render of my main female character in my novel, Laura. The render was done in 3 D this time with AI assistance. She looks pretty good. This is not an exact scene from the novel as by the time the scene at the parts counter takes place, she's removed her stockings, which were shredded, and had completely lost her left shoe. This is more of a promotional item. Hope you like it. It's also now my current avatar.

This looks pretty good! I see that you continue on your endless race to keep her shoe up to date with the ever changing fashion?

No. I just can't seem to settle on anything. However I am continuing the process The rewrite is still plodding forward and I have it about halfway done. I never thought it would take this long but, my God, has life been busy for me since retirement, and I guess that's a good thing. This was done using Chat GPT and its render capabilities. It made the base model up front and i used Photoshop to do the rest. Even wound up changing her hat to a nice fashionable tam that I think looks a lot better than the brim hats I had her in for years (decades). That Chat program has turbocharged my writing. it's like having an editor at my side. Almost freaky. I don't take some of its recommendations and most others are heavily modified by me into my voice. But it has been a revelation. I really am hoping the Author's Edition will be ready before the end of this year, perhaps even earlier, but I've said that before. Oh well! Onward! And glad you like the render. Hope all is well with you, my friend.

I am fine thanks! And glad we finally have an AI that understands what makes a good female leg! Big Grin

But it's still far from perfect. It will not make any renders of a woman in one shoe. It violates some kind of prudish content policy. It also never fully follows instructions. i got very lucky with that render I posted. It was my first try and it came back sort of like that. But I still had to manually remove her shoe and make her hair less puffy. I then moved her and the image of the counter onto an earlier render i did to mix everything together into what i have. I also had to put in the shoes I wanted on her, (One on her right foot, the other on top of the counter). I've liked those shoes for a long time. I lifted them from a one shoe clip I had commissioned some time ago, so they are not new. I recolored them from black to burgundy with photoshop and that's how I got what I have here. Still a lot of work for a program that should have made that easily and in far less time than it took me. I've since worked on a few other scenes from the novel in this fashion, but every one needed a massive amount of work. I'm very frustrated with the Chat GPT render program (DALL-E) and have set any further ideas for scene renders aside for now.

Why are you so sure you need that other shoe seen? I've seen it countless times everywhere - an artist feels absolutely compelled to show an empty shoe in the unexplainable urge to have it seen by the beholder. What's wrong with just depicting a woman with one shoe and no other shoe in sight?

This was just a test. I was hoping to one day use it as some kind of promotional art after the novel was finished with some kind of mention about how her shoe was the key to everything in the story. It can be easily removed from the scene using Photoshop, however.

Here's another render of Laura that i had to heavily modify. It's based on a new scene in my reworked novel where she has been thrown into a car after losing her shoe. The scene is an entirely new sequence of how and where she loses her shoe, which really enhances my main, titular character and his actions in the new Author's Edition. Again, i did this just for fun with Chat GTP's rendering program DALL-E and other photos that I superimposed together using Photoshop. Needless to say, this was a real pain to do, and it took forever to get the render with her in the right pose in the right outfit. And still her blouse is not correct. But I don't want to spend more time trying to get the right blouse on her. This is close enough for now. What do you think? (Especially you, Powell! Her missing shoe is no where in sight!)

Here is another render I did with the Chat DALL-E render program. Another bear of a job with Photoshop. Again she has the wrong blouse on but I don't want to deal with that so here it is. This is another new scene in my novel where Laura is in the back seat of my titular character's police SUV. The vehicle is also incorrect but that's what DALL-E gave me. Laura is not completely one-shoed here. She's adjusting the "rig" Mike gave her so she could at least get around in one shoe in the harsh environment of the rail yard she's being held in. She's in a sort of non-ladylike pose on the seat as she does this, but the draping nature of her short, pleated skirt keeps her modesty intact. Remember she's only 25, youthful, and still very flexible to be able to wrap herself up like that on the back seat of a police car! Enjoy, and hope to have the novel done some time this year!

Okay I just impressed even myself. Here is a vastly improved render with Laura in the correct blouse and sitting in the back seat of an actual police SUV. I also fixed her hair better and got her new tam hat completely visible. Enjoy!

PS: At this point in the story her nylons are gone, having been essentially destroyed as she escaped from her captures.
