Description
This version was trained to push the aesthetic further toward photorealistic lighting while keeping the handmade look of clay puppets and fabric textures.
My focus was on raw surface details, realistic shadows, and more material depth (less plastic, more „crafted“).
It still leans toward horror and grotesque visual themes, but with a bit more studio photography feel.
Future goals:
Even stronger tactile realism
More texture contrast (cracks, fabrics, puppet joints)
Better balance between uncanny and detailed
