Description

Ever since the announcement that they were developing a low-cost mass-market version of Hera ("Hera Lite") the Hera corporation allowed interested parties to sign up to a mailing list to be kept abreast of developments.

The first postal day after Christmas the following post card was delivered to all the addresses of the women who did so... including a month's supply of Hera Lite.

The same advertisment went live on billboards all over the Big City.

The long awaited Hera Lite is finally available. For the price of your morning latte, women can start to where Hera could take them...

I wanted to do a bigger image before Christmas, but ran out of time, so did it afterwards. I did a lot of attempts to generate a queen with people around her image, but I couldn't get one I liked (the original plan was to do a double-size image and have about a dozen women inpainted into it) so I instead took the one with a throne I liked, and then tried inpainting extra figures. That wasn't working well for a composition, so I ended up taking a few of those figures, and compositing a rough image in Photoshop (just body size and placement) and then using it as a controlnet guide to create the basic layout. I then inpainted each of the figures, giving them their own looks, and then gave each of them one of my Notexist embeddings , plus Paige. I then added some various items of jewelery. My friend Devin provided me with a Hera logo, which I integrated with the advertising text. I'm happy with this. It's not perfect, but it's a nice single image to show off what I've learned by playing with Stable Diffusion this year.

Plot wise, it's about time we released Hera Lite into the world. Expect a Vanderhoff post to explain what it means for the world. Also, I look at it and absolutely want to do Big City Girls for most of these girls! Paige and Cordelia you know (Cordelia has slimmed down a little since we last saw her) but the rest look fun too. Any favorites you'd like to know more about?
