Since then I have explored a few ways to play with the design and tried to create actual characters for this "species".
It took some years until I drew this character again and it became one of my first digital drawings.
I experimented a little bit by combining some of my faces generated by @Artbreeder with the "first-order-model" deepfake paper from Aliaksandr Siarohin.
You can achieve some astounding results especially with subtle movement.
Animated/lip-synced character icons come to mind.
Wanted to try out some compositing with a VHS effect.
The song used is "Rhubarb" by Aphex Twin
A drawing I made for @GooseworxMusic's amazing animation Little Runmo.
Those three really grew on me and especially the Bonekeeper has an amazing design.
