For the most part, it is more of a "behind-the-scenes".
- 1) Not what I intended when I prompted "Winged Valkyrie circlet", but the output is stunning nonetheless :o
- 2) 2D Valkyrie circlet concepts
- 3) The first real try, created with sd 1.5
- 4) 3D Valkyrie circlet concepts
- 5) My obsession with the Valkyries goes way back to Skyrim. :D
- 6) Draft of a picture for a scrapped chapter
- 7) A picture generated while on chapter 21. Parts of it made it into the final picture, but most was scrapped. Nevertheless a gorgeous picture still.
- 8) Potential picture for chapter 22
- 9a) Here's the showcase of the development process of an image, in this example for chapter 10. First we generate a few images of Eira, now Seraphina. You get interesting results when you add mirrors to it.
- 9b) 9b captured the face well. It was merged via PaintShop with 9a. Then some inpainting in InvokeAI followed...
- 9c) ...resulting in 9c, which already looks pretty familiar. It became the base for the final result.
- 10) I once created an RPG Adventure with RPG Maker. First 'Valkyrie' was supposed to be a spin-off from the RPG. Then it became a standalone. Then it was scrapped, but a few years later it ultimately became this story, set in a parallel world of the RPG.
- 11a) The world map from said RPG. By the way, Chaldia is located in the upper right-hand quarter of the northwestern continent.
- 11b) The base template used for the map. Came in pretty handy that I build Thessia in Sim City 4 many years ago. :D
- 11c) Showing all locations mentioned in the story on the map
Stolen novel; please report.
