stylized-neural-painting VS Story2Hallucination

I want to create a Python program that takes in an image, paints over it, then spits out the resulting image. What I want to do is almost exactly like this project, but I want to do it from scratch, and make it more attuned to people's faces, as well as add more than just oil painting, pixel art, and marker strokes.

(Added Mar. 9, 2021) PaintCLIP.ipynb - Colaboratory by advadnoun. Uses Stylized Neural Painter to generate images. As of time of writing, this gave me an error message.

I think stroke-based painting methods like these are neat: https://github.com/jiupinjia/stylized-neural-painting https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

Not exactly what you suggested, but pretty fun! Here's PaintCLIP using https://github.com/jiupinjia/stylized-neural-painting

(Added Feb. 5, 2021) Story2Hallucination.ipynb - Colaboratory by bonkerfield. Uses BigGAN to generate images/videos. GitHub.

Third which is pretty new to me is the Story2Hallucination. Which takes text, (say your story) and uses Google Deep Sleep to create a visual using AI to generate images for what the story is describing. And example can be found here.

I ran some Lovecraft through Story2Hallucination[1] which uses Big Sleep to make videos from text.

The results were quite something - https://m.imgur.com/tfWLsSR

Using Story2Hallucination: https://boredhumans.com/music_videos/Story2Hallucination_withwords.mp4 (made with https://github.com/lots-of-things/Story2Hallucination). The problem with it was that I had no easy way to match the timing of the lyrics on the screen with the real singing. So I then made a new version at https://boredhumans.com/music_videos/Story2Hallucination_nowords.mp4 where I edited the code so it did not show the words at all. But it is somewhat boring to watch.

This is basic attempt at that: https://github.com/lots-of-things/Story2Hallucination . It turns the text you write into a dream-like series of images converted into an animated GIF. It does not look real, but it is a start.

I've added a slightly simpler notebook to Story2Hallucination that can render GIFs on Google Colab. Note that the story text has to be fairly short or it will make a gigantic unrenderable GIF.

Credit to https://github.com/lots-of-things/Story2Hallucination/ and onwards - I converted the script to run in regular python, and on windows through WSL+CUDA (Though, the windows tweaks seem to have caused other issues, Will probably have to roll back and dualboot on this device to do more)
