Hello, thank you for checking out my asset pack!

These are animated portraits of people shrouded in darkness. Think interviews with anonymized persons on Witness Protection programs. Or interrogations with people who are about to make you need WP.

The current version of this pack includes 6 unique faces, plus 4 minor variants.

=-=-=-=-=-=-Info=-=-=-=-=-=-

These are AI-generated faces (from code such as this: https://github.com/lucidrains/stylegan2-pytorch).

They were edited and animated into the final style with Krita. Source files with non-destructive filters and animation keyframes are included, as well as the original AI-generated images.

If you use the individual frames and not the .gif files, they were animated and planned to be cycled at 16 FPS. I did not experiment with slower or faster framerates.

Files are 128x128 px. If you want to use these images as a higher resolution, rendering frames or videos from the source Krita files with Nearest Neighbor sampling should give you identically sharp results, no matter how many times you double their size. If you need to reproduce the edits done to the raw images for some reason, they were also downscaled using Nearest Neighbor filtering.

One example of an image downscaled with bilinear sampling can be seen on face N° 8's variant.

Most faces have minor variants such as the one mentioned above; the other ones were added when i couldn't tell which version would be preferred by most people.

Examples include versions with or without blinking, with or without lighting that affects the background, etc.

If this pack does well, i can update it with more variants that people request. Feel free to send me a message or comment on this pack's page with specific requests.
