Rinslet Walker from Black Cat in Crimson Style V2.Here’s the update I needed to make for Rinslet. This time, I used a different approach: I reduced the dataset by using only the images from J-Girl Train and J-Girl Ecstasy, and included only a few images featuring her other outfits. This results in a loss of outfit accuracy, but in exchange it gives the model much better fidelity to her original face.With this, I can finally put an end to the nightmare I had with this character.Rinslet Walker from Black Cat in Crimson Style V1. This is my fourth attempt at creating Rinslet Walker — yes, you read that right, the fourth — and you might be wondering why. The reason is simple: character accuracy is very important to me. My first attempt is actually still the most faithful one, but it had two big issues. The first is that there was a wrong tag, which made the model behave a bit unpredictably. The second is that it learned the choker implicitly, because it appeared in almost all the dataset images, and I didn’t realize that. Since I didn’t consistently tag it, the model ended up absorbing it as part of the character. I won’t talk about the problems of the second and third attempts because I don’t want to bore anyone — I’ll just say that the face looked a bit weird. The version I’m publishing now was made using a different tagging method, much more tedious in my opinion, but it’s also the one that comes closest to the original design. One special thing about this character is that I included her different outfits, since as you know Crimson-sensei drew her in multiple works with different costumes. Older fans may notice a particular outfit from her early appearances in the images above, even though it’s not a 1:1 recreation of it. One last thing: I’ll probably make a fifth and final attempt at her in the future, since I have a half-baked idea in mind (maybe once my “Rinslet phobia” wears off, lol). But for now, I’m taking a break from her — I’ve already spent way too much time on this. More characters coming soon.
