130 ways to use Asuka as an avatar

Its so good to see the Lord's work is still done. All's right with the world

(/u/PrimaryPizza is an alt account I made for this experiment.)

Sources: I generated all of the OP images using the newest neural network GAN, StyleGAN. These are the top 10% I selected from 1000 samples, de-duplicated, denoised a little with waifu2x, and then 5% edge cropped off the bottom & sides to hide the more obvious background artifacting. I was curious if they could pass for real Asuka images, so I submitted under an alt.

For details, videos, samples, model downloads, and discussion, see https://twitter.com/gwern/status/1093701790971953152

Hope you guys enjoyed them.

Don't worry, you can use the StyleGAN model to generate as many thousands of Asukas as you need...

Love it. Is there one for Rei too?

[–]PrimaryPizza[S] 26 points27 points  (1 child)

No, sorry. I stopped playing with dolls when I grew up. (-_^)

Need a little more than just the face e.e

[–]gwern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now the best samples are just faces, sorry. We're working on whole-body/whole-image StyleGANs, but currently the results range from blurry to terrifying nightmare fuel.
