The Many Faces of Noah

One real photo of me, reimagined ten different ways with ChatGPT's image tool. Messing with my own profile picture like this is one small way I like to poke at what AI can actually do.

Curious about the prompts? Full notes on GitHub.

Original photo

The real, unedited source photograph every other portrait was generated from.

Simpsons

Yellow skin, exaggerated cartoon anatomy, simple cel shapes and a broad tooth-band smile.

Archer

Angular anatomy, controlled outlines and sculpted cel shading, in the style of Archer's adult animation.

Bob's Burgers

Rounded head, long simple nose, dot pupils, thin outlines and simplified sloping shoulders.

Pixar

Enlarged expressive features, sculpted 3D forms, warm lighting and tactile materials.

8-bit

Chunky, large pixel clusters and a small, flat color palette, evoking early console game portraits.

16-bit

Richer color ramps, visible pixels and restrained dithering, in the style of a 16-bit RPG portrait.

Star Trek

A burgundy Starfleet command uniform, a communicator badge, and a teal-framed window onto space.

Rubber hose

Pie-cut eyes, an elastic grin, exaggerated shapes, and an aged cel/print texture from 1930s cartoons.

Comic book

Heroic facial construction, brush inks, graphic shadows and halftone printing, like a superhero comic panel.

StarCraft

Burgundy powered armor, an industrial teal bulkhead, and a compact in-game HUD reading "NOAH", "TERRAN ENGINEER", "HP 100/100" and a mineral cost of 50.
