Deepart.io

So there is this website called Deepart.io that allows people to submit photographs and artworks, and renders photographs as they would look if painted in the artstyle of the second picture. The front page explains it quite well, and the list of latest created images has plenty of boring but pretty examples: https://deepart.io/latest/ It takes over three days to generate an image, or less if you want to pay up

Naturally, all I'm trying to do is abuse the system, with incredibly ugly results. Don't try to render a photograph in Super Mario World graphics. the results are horrendous. I tried to do some fun stuff with webcomics (like El Goonish Shive), but it just doesn't work well. I don't think the algorithm likes solid outlines and simplistic coloring. It just doesn't work at all, but I love trying: image

Trying to render Ted as a photograph of a regular human being, however, resulted in something surprisingly pretty. I'm alright with this one: https://deepart.io/result/636347/ I have a few more in the work, but I doubt any of them will look any better than this one.

So I'm challenging you guys to do better! I'd love to see someone using the El Goonish Shive artstyle to render something like Dan drew it, or to render an El Goonish Shive image in a different style. (or, you know, you can do something else with the algorithm - anything interesting :p)

Likewise.  Are you able to screenshot it, perhaps?

Also likewise.

Here it is:

 

If I can give one tip:Try to make sure that both images a large variation in color. Trying to render a picture in this style created a very dirty-looking picture. I still have very little success in creating pretty things, El Goonish Shive-related or not.

I dunno, you might be able to pass that off as some kind of neo-cubist abstract nonsense.

It looks like there is a face in the wing and I'm not even sure how it even got there.

I don't even know where to begin for where John's face is concerned.

Italics.

So yeah, I guess so.

Alright, I give up on this idea entirely. Also, I'm gonna go do an exorcism.

Hey, that actually looks pretty awesome in a weird, creepy way.
