Hellsing: Seras Victoria (A.I Generation/Edits)

 One of my big regrets working on the blog was that I was never able to give Seras a tribute with good foot scenes. Seras managed to successfully win 2 Anime Feet polls. One for British Woman and Another for Vampires. Even including Fanart ... it proved to be very hard to find foot scenes of her. However since we now have A.I. at our disposal... let take a crack at giving her feet some more love...

There were 2 main outfits that I used to generate artwork for her... The first is her blue Police Outfit

I requested a couple of customization first seeing her without her boots

Then one without her socks as well

I varied up the models using different images of her

I also request some pose updates such as her stepping on the viewer

and propping her feet up as well

I also tried similar request with her gold outfit. 

This time I chose a grassy meadow for her to relax with her boots off.

Just for fun I wanted to get some images of Vampire Seras as well. For that I used a couple of images from a scene where she was stomping on a Soldier

Gemini obliged

As a last step I requested her to be barefoot... The way most of us would prefer to be trampled by her. 

It updated the image nicely. 😀

Thank you reading and if there are any other neglected characters who you want to see barefoot just let me know. 

As always... more to come soon!

Supergirl Celebration Part 13: Tomorrowverse Supergirl

 Our the next Supergirl up is... the one from a series DC animated movies featuring the Tomorrowverse. The Tomorrowverse gets its name from the first film of that series "Superman: Man of Tomorrow". Supergirl plays a prominent role in this universe and is featured in 4 of the films: Legion of Superheroes and Crisis on Infinite Ears 1-3.  She is a really fun character. 

As with Unbound we don't get to see this version of her barefoot in the films which is a pretty big letdown however we but I was able to A.I. generate some images for her once again using the Gemini tool...

There was a flashback sequence with Supergirl on Krypton the outfit she was wearing reminded me of Zero Suit Samus from Metroid. I used it as a starting point to generate images of her.

I updated the perspective requesting that they adjust the perspective so that she is facing the camera.

They should also through have her show the sole of her feet to the viewer. :-)

Move her soles to the center..

and step on the viewer as well. :-D

I also generated some pictures of her performing a POV kick because we all love that view. :-)

I did a behind the scenes post with some additional outtake images that didn't make the cut for this on Anime Footnotes. It provides a little bit more detail on some of the prompts I used to generate these and some of the enhancements I requested for these images.

Warning: There are a  spoiler in this post for the Crisis on Infinite Earths story ahead. Though to be fair the story is over 40 years old by now. ^_^;

I  am glad I get the chance to talk about the Tomorrowverse. This version of Supergirl was very well developed and I really like watching her in action.  She starts off impulsive and headstrong but trains and grows and becomes a much better heroine over the course of her movies. We see her go through 

 a romance with Brainiac 5 and ultimately sacrifice herself to ensure that Earth survives. The actress portraying her in this series is Meg Donelly who actually looks like you she could portray Supergirl in a live action if she wanted to. She seemed to have a lot of energy when delivering Supergirl's lines. It really made all her scenes fun to watch. This version of her is fast, smart and powerful.

Tomorrowverse split the Crisis on Infinite Earth's storyline into 3 separate film which may have stretched out the story more than needed. I wasn't complaining though because it allowed for more scenes with Kara. The last movie however is particular notable because there is a great tribute to the Batman the Animated series Batman. Kevin Conroy (who portrayed that version of Batman) passed away a little before this movie was released.  The movie gave him a final scene allowing him to send off the character and acknowledge his legacy as Batman in the best possible way 

Ok everyone. Still a few more versions of Supergirl left to go. On that note... more to come soon!

Up Up and Away!

Supergirl Celebration Part 12: Unbound Supergirl

Originally I was going to end the Supergirl series of posts with the Arrowverse Supergirl tribute but looking at the poll and seeing who the two Frontrunners are I’m extended the set for a bit just to give the My Adventures with Superman Supergirl another chance at a barefoot episode before I wrap this up. Added onto the growth of A.I. technology allows me to add a little bit more content for some versions of her who didn’t have any barefoot scenes. Which brings us to Today’s post…

 Superman Unbound Supergirl

This version of  her appeared in the animated movie Superman Unbound.  Unfortunately Supergirl while incredibly hot in this incarnation...does not go barefoot in the movie so I created a few A.I. images of her barefoot myself. The images in this post were created using Google's A.I. creation tool Gemini which is a great tool for creating A.I. Artwork.

Gemini has a enhancement featured called Nano Banana which allows users to edit images they upload. For best results it is good to start with a full body image. That proved pretty challenging as this version of Supergirl was very fast moving but I wound up using the panned up image above. From there I asked Gemini to create a version of the image where she is barefoot. It gave me the below result.

I thought I would play around with her feet a bit so I asked Gemini to add pink polish to her toenails producing the next image.

The pink polish didn't stand out that much so I asked Gemini to update her polish color to red which resulted in the below image. Gemini even helped to enhance the colors of her outfit itself.

Some kicking caps from Superman Unbound..

I also prompted Gemini to create an image of Supergirl stepping on the viewer which resulted in the below treat.

From the above image I asked Gemini to created a version of the image where she was barefoot

I also requested for it to update the scene to space. 🌃

I tried this another image as well of Supergirl midflight

I uploaded the image and asked Gemini to create an version of the picture where she was barefoot.

Then I asked to remove Superman from the background for a cleaner shot!

From there I played around a little bit adjusting the image so she was flying towards you.

I also updated her pose a little bit requesting Gemini to have her show her soles to the viewer. The original image zoomed in on both her feet but I played around a bit asking it to pan out so we could see her entire body and adjusted the positions of her arm to create more dynamic shots resulting in the set below

Note: The images are out of order from how Gemini created them.

I also asked Gemini to create an image of her performing a kick showing the sole of her foot. Which resulted in the following image.

I also requested to make her expression a little bit more playful when she is kicking you which resulted in the winking picture below.

Superman Unbound's storyline focused on Superman taking on Brainiac. It is a fun movie. The area where is really shines is  its animation. I really like Lois and Supergirl's character designs in this film. Supergirl is more of a side character  in this but has some good scenes. She is portrayed by the actress Molly Quinn who also voices Bloom in the Winx Club. This version of her is a rebellious teen with a chip on her shoulder but she is definitely a badass.

Another interesting piece of trivia is both Molly Quinn and the actress who plays Lois (Staina Katic) in this movie were both in a TV series together. They were part of the show Castle and worked together regularly.

Ok ... still more Supergirl still to come. :-)

Up up and away!!
