Sora

Sora had been hearing a lot about the Museum of the Odd since her mother Raven had started working there a few months ago, finally piquing her curiosity enough to compel her to apply for a summer internship. She wouldn't get a paycheck yet, but somehow that seemed far less important than it might have working anywhere else.

High-Speed Making-Of
Having acquired a variety of new techniques since I originally made this making-of video, and working too feverishly to remember to record my screen activity again, the images above are updated versions, returned to almost a year to the day after publishing the originals, this time making use of Stable Diffusion and Adobe Photoshop's generative fill & intelligent remove tools to improve upon the original output from DALL-E 2. I'm not sure how much time I'll ultimately spend reworking other offerings from my back catalogue, but I knew I could improve some of the weaker spots in this one in short order without entirely redoing it or changing it enough to warrant a new iteration of the character, so I just did.

From a latent space containing billions of dimensions, clear voices ring out…

Raven
Raven, aglow with job satisfaction at the Museum of the Odd…
Dizonia
Dizonia was not fooled by the assorted spirits' blatant attempt to throw her off their scent…
Rǣlia
For her 21st birthday, Rǣlia (known to her friends as "Really") decided to organize a celebratory nighttime gathering at Multiversal City theme park. The evening, attended by a dozen or so of the aforementioned friends, included an expansive dinner and mixed drinks, and then more mixing of drinks, and had been perfectly festive and joyous right up until she'd snatched a random bongo drum (from a couch shaped like a boat) and announced that she wanted to start a drum circle. Suddenly, all of her laughing friends were nowhere to be found…
Cherry
Once Cherry finally gave in to its constantly whispered requests and wore the black ring to cheerleading practice, things escalated quickly…
Lucia
Lucia preferred the tranquility of the underwater world to the hectic, more populated surface. She'd worked with the Ocean Reef Group, helping to maintain Nemo's Garden, an agricultural experiment off the coast of the Italian Riviera that grew samples of land-based crops in underwater greenhouses called biospheres. But after storms & the pandemic cut off access to the project for months, the team was pared back to a skeleton crew, & she was cut loose. Not long into her hunt for a new job, she was contacted by a company called Reprion & recruited to work on their research submarine, the Thalassa. Eager to get back underwater, she didn't ask as many questions as she probably should have…
Jania
Jania (and her Prince) ready to receive visitors in the royal aquarium…
Katharina
Katharina, taking sweet, sweet revenge…
Hodja
The few seconds between bungling her over-practiced landing and actually slipping the black ring onto her finger were the most precarious of Hodja's entire life…
Inka
Inka, aware of the Minders for several years now and long past cycling through self-doubt (am I dreaming? high? crazy?), had simply accepted their presence, and the fact that no one else seemed to be able to see them, as a novel fact of her life. For the most part, they just floated around, though it was clear from the get-go that they gravitated toward populated areas…
Prescilla
Prescilla believes in the cyberpunk future we all deserve…
