Where's the John Byrne part?   Also, on an unrelated note,
why is she wearing a wedding ring?

AI junk.

Also, it seems like the algorithms have just the one pretty-girl face.
 
Hey, I just remember when that same criticism was once levied again JB.

Ah ha!  And he didn't even cost billions of dollars to train. :)

I used to see complaints that “all his faces look the same”, and while I would admit that this was sometimes true of my heroic faces, at least in the early days, there was a broad range in my supporting players, especially as I became more proficient at my craft.

I recall it was a very short-lived attempt at mud slinging that, if I recall correctly, you took to heart and went the extra mile.

More interestingly, if you look at old-time Hollywood (and now with AI!) it's really a universal phenomena.  "Classic beauty" in the female face falls into such a narrow range.  I remember reading a quote from the Charles Dana Gibson ("Gibson Girl") era lamenting how magazine all wanted the same pretty girl face illustrations---utterly devoid of detail or character.

Not how I would describe a Gibson Girl!

Doesn't Magneto look suspiciously like John Cena?

Ai doesn't hold a candle to JB's She-Hulk (plus, where's that little hair curl over her eye? I always loved that!)

There were real models for Gibson's girls, Mabel Normand was one of them.

I always feel weird looking at a site with deviant in the name... I still wonder why that word? It's not quite like pervert but harder edged than alternative. Kind of would think it would be the place for a lot of kinky art (and there are some 'furries' on it I know of), not alternative covers for Doctor Who DVDs and weird Super-Team '70s fake comic covers.

Yeah, that definitely looks like a sterile AI thing. :^/
