“Almost Realistic!,” fotogenerator image by @aforgrave<\/p><\/div>\n

The Daily Create, tdc1987<\/strong><\/a>, asks us to use the Fotogenerator web tool<\/a> “to turn a series of line sketches into a photo.” We are then asked to assess “how scary or realistic” the results are.<\/p>\n

Below you can see the sketch I drew (a bit tricky, using your mouse to draw on in the input field — although you do get an eraser) and the resulting image created by the web tool. The result is<\/em> a bit scary — both influenced by the input as well as the way the tool works, but it does create a somewhat realistic looking result based on the input.<\/p>\n
