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Having acquired a variety of new techniques since I originally made this making-of video, and working too feverishly to remember to record my screen activity again, the images above are updated versions, returned to almost a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

Ether
Ether lived in a liminal space. Though her childhood had been Earth-typical, in her teens she'd begun to "phase out," not mentally (like every other high school student), but physically. From her perspective, her surroundings & everyone in them would disappear, leaving behind a bare scaffolding of wherever she'd started, seeming both under construction & on its last legs simultaneously…
Rhea
Rhea, in the garden, alone…
Renata
Renata, trying to stay dry after the show, beginning to wonder what's taking her driver so long…
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…
Tiziana
Tiziana knew by now that she was not really in a magical forest, but she still couldn't help frequently forgetting that fact, because the forest was very good at pretending to be a forest, and even better at pretending to be magical…
Tawai
Tawai, arriving at a dinner party only to discover that not all of the guests appear to be strictly human…
Maya
Maya, lost in illusion…
Brandy
Brandy had returned to the temple that she thought was her home, until she tried to leave again. Her main hall no longer led outside, but simply repeated itself, extending farther than she could see…
Millie
The first time Millie was suddenly cornered by several black SUVs, hooded and herded into one of them by burly men wearing suits, sunglasses and earpieces, she'd reacted as you might imagine anyone would…
Zofya
Zofya had long ago achieved a level of fame at which everyone knew her last name, but rarely felt a need to use it. She was a singular talent, a fact made all the more evident by the unprecedented scope of her interplanetary concert tour, and her insistence on traveling to perform in the flesh, rather than relying on the industry standard remote holographic projections. Still, by the last leg of her year-long journey around the galaxy, she was as ready as anyone would be to get home to Earth and take a break.
