I chose the fake drawing below, for all the experiments on this blog post, by pushing it as far as I could:
TEST FAKE DRAWING
Variations with post-editing
I used another online AI program, Deep Dream Generator, to transfer different styles and colors to the fake figure drawing.
Petalica Paint (formerly PaintsChainer) uses AI to automatically colors the image one uploads, with three default variations. However the user can edit and change the color outcomes.
First default variation
Second default variation
ARMS
The computer does not seem to add arms to the fake drawings, so I did some extra surgery, cutting the arm off one of my drawings, and adding it to the fake figure drawing. This allowed me to animate the fake drawing in Mixamo, and elaborate from there.

I then puffed up the fake drawing with arms into a 3D figure, creating an OBJ file in PhotoAmin, and imported it into Mixamo to create four animations, and exported the FBX files. Then I imported the animated FBX files into Blender and create a full animation.

OTHER RUNWAY ML PROGRAMS
There are several other programs nested inside the Runway ML website besides StyleGAN2, and so I ran my fake drawing through a few of those programs, but was not excited about the results.
