Let me warn you, this is quite sick 😀
The tool is called Whisk and its a Google Experimental tool for generating illustrations.
This is how it works
You upload 3 images:
- Subject = a character you want to animate
- Scene = in what scene you want your character to be illustrated in
- Style = in what style do you want you illustration to be drawn in
I choose a random pig illustration, to be inserted into a fairytale scene in a 2D Peppa Pig style.
Here are the two results it generated.
But it doesnt end here!
Then you click ANIMATE button and it outputs this 😀 CRAZY!
The tool is not available in Slovenia where I’m from, so you need a VPN to use the tool, but god damn it works very well.
If I just imagine a work flow for, lets say, a children’s’ book writers. Until now, they needed to find an illustrator that had a style they liked, then they need to explain and probably demonstrate with google images what they actually need.
The illustrator would then need couple of days to come with graphics, a couple of tweaks here and there and the week – or even more – would flew by.
Sure, maybe the outputs are not “production ready” yet, but for prototyping, demonstrating and showcasing the ideas its more then perfect by my opinion.
