Selfie Series

The Selfie is a commentary about selfies seen all over Instagram. It is a technical challenge, made to see if I could replicate that same look and feel from selfies that are casually snapped, and as such with a figure situated in a surrounding that’s not tidied up. AI is great at making perfect things, so creating surroundings that are natural and messy poses its unique sets of challenges. This series originally started as a joke, but was generally very well received. I also tend to get so many DMs every time I post them because most people don’t read description and they always asked if it’s me. Short answer: no, but the first two me in this series is based on someone special in my heart.

On Instagram, Kevin Winston (IG: @kevinwinston) tagged me and asked that I participate in “Flex Friday” by posting a picture.

I know Kevin from Yale, and he knows that I only make AI works from my GymDreams8 account, so I was surprised by the tag. He clarified that he wanted me to share the men I create with AI — so of course, I agreed.

Interestingly, Kevin seemed to assume that I had a collection of gym selfies stashed in my archive. Nope — but I made these specifically for you!

To accomplish this, I began by taking Kevin’s photo from his Instagram story and utilized the generative fill feature in Photoshop to create an image measuring 1024x1024 pixels. This image served as the basis for driving an OpenPose Control Net, allowing me to set the pose for all the figures in the composition.

Next, I proceeded to render a series of images using two different checkpoint models: Virile Reality v3 Beta 2, known for its photographic style, and Airfuck’s Brute Mix, which produces a photorealistic style. By using the OpenPose control net, I ensured that each render maintained the exact same pose as the original photo.

By employing Dynamic Prompt, I was able to batch these renders while incorporating variations in the color of the figures’ shorts and sneakers. Additionally, I applied some limb fixes using Photoshop AI to correct issues typically seen in AI generative works.
