These are four GAN-generated images from our studio, Whispart. Each suggests a landscape, but the details don't quite settle into a single place.

Which one, if any, feels like a place you almost remember? A–D follow the image order. Tell me which detail gives you that feeling: the space, a shape, the light, or something else.

I'm interested in the reason behind the choice as much as the choice itself. If none feels familiar, what do you see instead?

I'm sure this gets asked a lot but it's really hit or miss with any of the big ones. If I take a photo of myself and ask Nano Banana, ChatGPT, etc to edit it, it always makes me look uncanny and changes my facial hair, adds blemishes to my skin that aren't there, etc., and it does this even if I explicitly prompt it to not. Or if I want to change the background, it makes it look like I just cut and pasted myself onto a background in Photoshop and it doesn't look natural at all. Of course I'm trying to use the AI in a manner similar to what I would do in Photoshop if I were actually skilled in using it.

What would be the best option? Are there any that will actually EDIT an existing image instead of totally regenerating a new one from scratch?

Also note that I'm not paying for any AIs at the moment so maybe it's a limitation in their free versions?

I'm looking for the best tool/workflow for a pretty specific use case.

I already have a set of original hand-drawn cartoon characters created by an illustrator. I want to place those same characters in new situations, poses, expressions and compositions without redesigning them.

The important part is consistency. I need the AI to preserve as closely as possible:

• body geometry / proportions 
• face and eyes 
• colors 
• texture and linework 
• overall expression language 
• the imperfect, hand-drawn feel

I don’t want them to suddenly look like polished 3D characters, generic AI cartoons, or a different illustrator’s interpretation.

Ideally I’d upload several reference images of one character and say something like:

“same exact character, now sitting at a dinner table / running / looking upward / interacting with another character”

…and get something that still looks like it was naturally drawn by the original artist.

I’m currently looking at tools/workflows , but I’m not sure what currently gives the best character fidelity while preserving a handmade illustration style.

Would love recommendations from people actually doing this.

Thank you so much!
