Hey @Joe ORourke - quick question. I'm creating a series of illustrations with different characters and I'm trying to decide the best AI tool for this AND how to make the designs consistent. For example, I want the main character to be the same design throughout the book, just in different scenes and backgrounds, etc. Is there a prompt solution for this or what do you recommend for building character art/illustrations for use cases like this? Thank you!

Found this open source AI: https://microsoft.github.io/lida/ Has anyone played with it yet?

{Not sure if this is where to post. Please let me know Admins!} I have been doing a deep dive into voice generation or text to speech with/out avatars.. Synthesia https://www.synthesia.io/ looks like a leader but is cost prohibitive for their minutes per year plan.. 🤔 surprisingly expensive, it would seem to me.. I am aware of ElevenLabs https://elevenlabs.io/ of course, but find the text to speech still a tad robotic (improving every release, no question). ⚡️ Anyone know of any other voice generation or text to speech tools (with or without avatars)? ⚡️ Anyone know of any less expensive avatar tools similar to Adobe Character Animator https://www.adobe.com/ca/products/character-animator.html (which is pretty sick)? Thanks! 🏔️

I've decided on what to start building! My grandfather passed 10y ago and left me a usb stick with 63 memoirs of his life. They are fascinating stories however written in old english/australian and quite frankly boring to read. My project is to get those stories rewritten via AI and pass a bound copy to each the fam. LFG
