OK,
this may seem a little off-topic, but bear with me. We now have AI
programs that can alter the age of a photographic subject (and, in some
cases, change the gender as well). The technology still has its flaws; the image posted below isn't perfect, but it's still incredibly good, considering that the original photo featured a middle-aged male. If this is what we're capable of doing now, imagine what we'll be able to accomplish in just a couple of years...
Yes, the Quaids are back from their latest shopping expedition, and couldn't wait to show you their latest acquisitions:

So, quadruplets are usually defined as four children born from the same mother at the same time (generally identical in appearance). Here we have the aptly named Quaid girls taking a candid selfie on their eighteenth birthday...
...followed by the exact same four; washed, scrubbed and blow-dried for their boudoir shoot (and wearing as little as their Mom will allow). Amazing how a touch of lipstick and gloss can change your entire outlook, isn't it? :)

Our heartfelt thanks to Churrinho, for introducing us to the truly amazing Different Dimension Me. While the system has a few limitations (see previous posts) DDM is not only capable of converting regular photos into anime-style avatars, but can actually improve on existing CGI. Case in point: we took this tired old piece from Kogaru Diaries:
So, we finally managed to access QQ AI once more, and immediately uploaded this image of our resident joshikosei, Saori and Keiko:
For some inexplicable reason, the AI had some minor problems with the background, but did a commendable commensurate job on the figurework:
The experiment continued with Saori & Keiko in their underwear:
And as expected, our trusty QQ came through with the goods:
So anyway, we decided to put the QQ AI through its paces, starting with a couple of illustrations from way back. First, we fed a pencil/watercolor piece through the system and were appropriately stunned by the results:

We then tried out a traditional pen and ink cartoon, to see how it would interpret simple B&W line-work:
