I think I just figured out why Torrin was triggered here by Allison's innocent and well-meaning comment into flying into a sexual rage: Was it because she invoked the name "God" that pushed him over the edge and inspired him to abandon the cunningly foreplay as prelude to his inevitable sexual conquest of her body, mind and soul and just skip to the conquest?
Kinda strange to see the Moral Officer/Prostitute in casual. Still, everyone's got to rest. And she's so sexy it shows even when she's not actively seeking it.
Independent of the story, her expression in this pic makes me think of a scenario where a thin weak nerd comes into a gym seeking to bulk up and become an "alpha" only to fail so miserably he gets fairly quickly turned into a girl as the hyper-masculine magic of the gym drains his manhood away. This is the facial expression just after being freshly transformed: pure bewilderment.
Wait. It's not a reprimand, but she then gets all accusatory? Sounds like the Commander isn't a very good leader at this point... Unless she's going to just turn the Morale Officer loose on the saboteurs.
Nice touch with the black hole and its accretion disk, I do like scientific realism mixed in with my SciFi.
::sigh:: Some things never change... the woman cops the blame for the men behaving badly trying to get her attention. I bet the commander is going to end up disciplining her.
Cool, just stumbled across this one, presume its a possible followup to Dark Alter. There's only the one page despite being page 02?
My theory - the demons are being used just as much as she is and they don't like seeing their offspring being enslaved by the people running the ritual, so he's helping her to escape in the hope her and her child can be free.
Maybe in the future the child will return to destroy the cult.
Of the choices, I'll definitely give the nod to the Hybrid version. The more detailed background definitely enhances the main character's reaction. It IS interesting to see what the AI does with the character, I'll agree, but overall, I still prefer your art style.
None of the AI-enhanced versions get the facial reaction right, but the more detailed AI background is an improvement. An artist obviously isn't going to be inclined to put in the time and effort to make a background look that ornate when the important part of the image in on what's happening with the person in the foreground, so handing that task to AI makes sense.
A human doing things that require actual thought, skill, and attention to detail while delegating busywork to AI is probably the best way to use it.
This is a cute character/info scene. Tech Note: The quicker animation images aren't loading for me. Looks like a problem with file names containing "." as part of the name. At least the GIF version shows the whole scene.
