Arachne Weaver [eng/pt] (Splinterlands Art Contest)

em português
💞💞💞

Save, folks! Shall we go for Art Contest?
The star of the week is Arachne Weaver, epic unit of Death:

Her Corrupted Healing ability heals up to 70% of the maximum health of allied units, reducing maximum health by 1 with each heal.
But let's leave game issues for the Social Media Challenge that will come with our spider, and focus on digital art production via artificial intelligence.

As usual, I dragged the Lore card image to the chat and asked AdaptaOne to describe what it identified in the image.
I had just used Google's AI Studio for a task in my postgrad course in Sustainability in Public Management for the first time, was excited with the result, and then decided to also try ImageFX, also by Google.

I took the description given by AdaptaOne and asked it to generate a prompt for the creation of a hyper-realistic image of Arachne Weaver on ImageFX.

Initial Prompt:

"A hyper-realistic humanoid-arachnid hybrid creature. Upper humanoid part with pale skin, five glowing red eyes (two larger at the front and three smaller in a triangle above), open mouth screaming with sharp teeth. The character wears a gray tunic that covers the torso and waist, partially revealing the transition to an arachnid body. Right arm raised holding a black spear with a sharp, glowing green crystal tip; left arm in an attack position, emitting spirals and translucent green magical energy from the hand. On the back, two sharp, curved white claws protrude, resembling spider legs. Lower part consists of an arachnid section with six long, jointed black legs ending in sharp tips and a rounded, matte black abdomen. Junction of the human body with the arachnid part is marked by organic brown plates. Background with a geometric pattern in shades of purple creating a vibrant contrast and a surreal atmosphere."

ImageFX

ImageFX generates 4 images at the same time, with slight variations, giving you a choice of final result. This was the first result:

We started well, but it could be better, right? I confess that when I asked for hyper-realism, I expected more richness of detail. And it didn’t produce those two little legs she has at the waist.

I remember people saying it works better in English, so I asked AdaptaOne to translate the prompt into English. (Original was in portuguese, but was translated for you, guys.)

ImageFX, prompt in English

I got the impression that in Portuguese it had come out a little better... I gave some instructions to AdaptaOne, trying to fix some points and add missing details, mainly regarding the grip of the spear and the clothing:

More details

The side legs appeared, the shirt disappeared but not completely... Still not satisfied.
I gave a few more details, reinforcing previous elements and also drawing attention to her mouth, and asked for a new prompt with all the details present:

Hyper-Realistic Prompt:
"A hyper-realistic depiction of a humanoid-arachnid hybrid creature. The upper body has a pale white face with no ears and five glowing red eyes: two large central eyes at the top and three smaller eyes forming a triangular pattern just above. Its mouth is much larger than a human’s, resembling that of a spider, wide open in a ferocious roar and displaying sharp, menacing fangs.
The creature wears a simple gray tunic that fits snugly across its torso, covering the waist and extending to a slight opening that reveals the connection between its humanoid upper body and its spider-like lower section.
The right arm is raised high, gripping a sleek, black spear-like weapon with a glowing, sharp green crystal tip that points downward in a threatening manner, ready to strike. In contrast, the left arm is slightly retracted, with a glowing green magical orb forming in its hand. Green, swirling magical energy flows around the arm in dynamic, translucent streams, adding to its ominous power.
From its back sprout two long, white, curved claw-like appendages, resembling spider legs, sharp and functional for attack or defense.
The lower body features six long, glossy black spider legs, symmetrically positioned with articulated joints, ending in sharp tips designed for agility and strength. The abdomen is rounded, matte, and seamlessly connected to the upper body through brown carapace-like organic plates that mark the transition between the humanoid and arachnid forms.
The color palette is dominated by dark tones: black, gray, and brown, accentuated by bright red eyes and the vivid green glow of magical energy and the spear’s crystal. The backdrop features a surreal, bold purple zig-zag pattern that enhances the creature’s otherworldly and mystical appearance. The lighting and textures focus on details, creating a lifelike and powerful figure full of terror, mysticism, and aggression."

I tried once more :

ImageFX after new adjustments

It improved a bit, but was still very similar to the initial image.
I thanked ImageFX for the work, took the prompt, and brought it to my usual assistants.

GPT Image

GPT Image delivered a good result, got confused with the “bottom” legs, but brought the smaller ones on the back and all other elements, though the spear is not in the correct orientation.

Imagen 3

Imagen 3 got confused with the legs, and also did not deliver the correct spear position, besides including a crystal in the other hand.

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion fulfilled its role of entertaining us 😁, delivering an interesting composition but quite distant from what was requested...

From then on, AdaptaOne started hallucinating, delivering some very strange things:

Dalle 3

This was the first image created by Dalle 3, very off the guidelines:

I pasted the prompt again and repeated the command, receiving another image, a bit closer to what was requested, but still far from expected:

I tried a third time:

After the above image, I thought Dalle 3 needed a break 😁, and moved on to Flux Pro.

Flux Pro

The one that was once my favorite totally hallucinated, and delivered me this lovely young lady:

Maybe it’s a “Marvel version” of Arachne Weaver, inspired by Spider Gwen: 😆

After this “show of horrors”, I gave up. It was already late at night, I was tired, and the AI seemed to mirror my physical state in its psychological one. Let's end it here.

Salve, simpatias! Bora nós, de Art Contest?
A estrela da semana é Arachne Weaver, unidade épica de Death:

Sua habilidade Corrupted Healing cura até 70% da saúde máxima das unidade aliadas, reduzindo a saúde máxima em 1 a cada cura.
Mas, deixemos questões de jogo para o Social Media Challenge que vai vir com nossa aranha, e foquemos na produção de arte digital via inteligência artificial.

Como de costume, arrastei a imagem da carta na Lore, e pedi pro AdaptaOne descrever o que ele identificava na imagem.
Eu tinha acabado de usar o AI Studio da Google para uma tarefa do meu curso de especialização em Sustentabilidade na Gestão Pública, pela primeira vez, está entusiasmado com o resultado, e resolvi, então, experimentar, também o ImageFX, também da Google.

Peguei a descrição dada pelo AdaptaOne e pedi para que ele gerasse um prompt para a criação de imagem hiper-realista de Arachne Weaver no ImageFX.

Prompt inicial:

Aqui está o prompt para a recriação da imagem em estilo hiper-realista:
Prompt de recriação:
"Uma criatura híbrida humanóide e aracnídea em estilo hiper-realista. Parte superior humanóide com pele pálida, cinco olhos vermelhos brilhantes (dois maiores na frente e três menores em um triângulo acima), boca aberta gritando com dentes afiados. O personagem veste uma túnica cinza que cobre o torso e a cintura, deixando parcialmente visível a transição para um corpo aracnídeo. Braço direito levantado segurando uma lança negra com um cristal verde afiado e brilhante na ponta; braço esquerdo em posição de ataque, emitindo espirais e energia translúcida verde mágica da mão. Nas costas, duas garras brancas curvadas e afiadas se projetam, semelhantes a patas de aranha. Parte inferior composta por uma seção aracnídea com seis patas pretas longas e articuladas, terminadas em pontas afiadas, e um abdômen arredondado preto de textura fosca. Junção do corpo humano com a parte aracnídea marcada por placas marrons orgânicas. Fundo com um padrão geométrico em tons de roxo criando um contraste vibrante e carregando uma atmosfera surreal."

ImageFX

O ImageFX gera 4 imagens ao mesmo tempo, com pequenas variações, te dando opção de escolha do resultado final. Este foi o primeiro resultado:

Começamos bem, mas podia ser melhor, né? Confesso que, quando pedi hiperrealista, esperava mais riqueza de detalhes. E ele não produziu aquelas duas patinhas que ela tem na cintura.

Lembro das pessoas dizendo que ele funciona melhor em inglês, então pedi pro AdaptaOne traduzir o prompt para o inglês.

ImageFX, prompt em Inglês

Fiquei com a impressão de que em português tinha saído um pouco melhor... Dei algumas instruções ao AdaptaOne, tentando corrigir alguns pontos e adicionar detalhes ausentes, principalmente sobre a empunhadura da lança e a vestimenta:

Mais detalhes

As patas laterais apareceram, a camisa sumiu mas não sumiu... Ainda não estava satisfeito.
Dei mais alguns detalhes, reforçando elementos anteriores e chamando a atenção, também para a boca dela, e pedi um novo prompt, com todos os detalhes presentes:

Hyper-Realistic Prompt:
"A hyper-realistic depiction of a humanoid-arachnid hybrid creature. The upper body has a pale white face with no ears and five glowing red eyes: two large central eyes at the top and three smaller eyes forming a triangular pattern just above.

Tentei mais uma vez

ImageFX após novos ajustes:

Melhorou um pouco, mas ainda estava muito parecido com a imagem inicial.
Agradeci ao ImageFX pelo trabalho, peguei o prompt e levei pras minhas assistentes habituais.

GPT Image

GPT Image entregou um bom resultado, se atrapalhou com as patas "de baixo", mas trouxe as menores nas costas e todos os outros elementos, ainda que a lança não esteja no sentido correto.

Imagen 3

Imagen 3 se atrapalhou com as patas, e também não entregou a correta posição da lança, além de ter incluído um cristal na outra mão.

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion cumpriu seu papel de nos divertir 😁, entregando uma composição interessante, mas bem distante do solicitado...

Dali em diante, o AdaptaOne alucinou, entregando umas coisas muito estranhas:

Dalle 3

Esta foi a primeira imagem criada pela Dalle 3, muito fora das orientações:

Colei novamente o prompt e repeti o comando, recebendo esta outra imagem, um pouco mais próxima do solicitado, mas, ainda, muito longe do esperado:

Tentei uma terceira vez:

Depois da imagem acim, achei que o Dalle 3 precisava descansar 😁, e passei Flux Pro.

Flux Pro

Aquela que, um dia, já foi a minha preferida, alucinou totalmente, e me entregou esta adorável jovem:

Talvez seja uma "versão Marvel" de Arachne Weaver, inspirada na Spider Gwen: 😆

Depois deste "show de horrores", me dei por vencido. Já era tarde da noite, eu estava cansado, e a IA parecia ressoar o meu estado físico no seu psicológico. Encerramos por aqui.
