Ok, this looks like a direct expy of the OG NES Castlevania game. I'm not obessed with the Castlevania franchise or anything, but this looks promising, can keep an eye out for it when it releases.

ha, sure, let's go with that, so long as I wasn't actually secretly replaced with a robot double or something.
But yeah, AI art generation is still in its developing stage, could sometimes create something completely weird or out of place in minor parts that we could all miss out even through multiple reviews. Not a big deal in this one at least; no regular audience's going to notice unless they zoom in extra and stare at it like a hawk...

the right is better, color contrast is more important; back to the original it is then 👍
I can't help noticing one other thing just now that I never noticed before: what up with my completely black neck? Is it all covered in wires like the exposed joints of my mech arm? I have cybernetically enhanced/supported neck? Not asking for any more changes at this point of course, was just curious...

oh this new one is definitely better, with the black parts back to the way they were, and the collar lines brighter green. I think all the green can go another small scale brighter overall, as long as the shirt and inner coat stays a bit darker than all the neon lines on the outer jacket. But of course, I don't want to burden you too much on this; you can go with this one if you'd like to be done with it.

ideally, my favorite shade of green for the shirt and inner coat is the slightly darker one in the rocket arm firing scene in the intro, while keeping all the green lines/patterns and glows on my mech arm bright for the cyberpunk theme. But I understand that trying to change only part of the green could potentially confuse the AI and mess up other parts; it's not a big deal really. If it's too much trouble or potential messy risk, the original is good, thanks.

right, as mentioned in the other post, the brighter green provides more color contrast, definitely better than the overly dull and bland darker version. Though the green changed a bit again in this one for some reason (it looks more grass green now)?

Ideally, the only thing I could still consider is that my inner shirt and inside of my coat could be just a little darker than the left side (like in the rocket arm launching scene in the intro), with everything else staying the same to the original on the left. It's really no big deal at this point. If you feel it's not worth any more time, effort or tokens to use for such minor details, just use the left side original is good.

yeah once compared side-by-side, it's pretty clear that having more notable contrast between the colors looks better. The darker version looks rather dull, dim and lifeless, especially since the black parts also got more gray for some reason. All the green glows on my mech arm, and all the lines/patterns on my coat are better off neon bright green, matching the cyberpunk theme more (especially with most of us having neon lines in the intro).

Hopefully Revy will see this to give some feedback, whether he has a Merovingian account or not.

very nice, the animation looks smooth, more than what I have expected. Just wondering about one thing though: any particular reason that I'm doing this in the middle of a busy road? I thought I'd be launching it from maybe a rooftop or something. Not a big deal though, if no longer convenient to change the setting or anything...

I can't help but notice one more thing: why is Revy's chest look big enough to be a woman's? I thought Revy simply identified as trans and didn't do any physical alteration on himself to be more feminine-presenting? Better show him the avatar sample to be sure before finalizing it, if he hasn't seen it yet...

and any particular reason that the axolotl is smoking off the top of its head? Just curious, did Revy give some specific lore with it that we are not aware of?

well, I did mention before that my alternative idea for my robot arm intro animation is that it opens up into an arm cannon to fire an energy blast. As I open my arm and point toward the screen POV, the left eye len of my glasses glows/reflects white with a crosshair circle appearing on it, serving as the aiming function as the cannon fires towards the screen. Don't know which one is easier for your AI to pick up and animate properly; just want to put the idea out here.

Also, hope people don't get confused and think that Revy is some girl who joined the crew, and that I got a girlfriend or something 😅

Yeah looks pretty nice, though could you darken the green on my wardrobe a little more towards olive green please? It still looks a bit too neon bright for my taste. The green on my weapon is fine, as it should glow more to look like a high-tech futuristic melee weapon.
