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Having acquired a variety of new techniques since I originally made this making-of video, and working too feverishly to remember to record my screen activity again, the images above are updated versions, returned to almost a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.

Many girls in many dimensions, one mysterious piece of jewelry…

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…

Elli
Elli had been angling for an invite to the Gomiumi Genomics Compound for over a year, knowing from the get-go that adding her name to the waitlist would lead only to waiting. But armed as she was with confidence, knowledge, & several years of study in Berlin under a recent Nobel Prize winner, her nascent experiments with CRISPR had drawn the interest of numerous colleagues, to such an extent that she'd been able to secure her invitation before even having to consider resorting to less savory tactics…

Giuliana
The night before her 18th birthday, Giuliana fell asleep on Earth for the last time. Later, she realized it was far from the first time she'd been abducted. Numerous troubling occurrences—occasionally inexplicable happenings that had punched confounding holes throughout the continuity of her childhood & adolescent memories—suddenly all pieced themselves together into a coherent, canonical whole, for which her current situation, light years removed from Earth, became the only possible, inevitable adulthood.
Persephone
Persephone, enduring her least favorite part of the year…
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…
