AI Art - Patron Submission (Patreon)

Recent patron "Bobbi" created these image of David/Cindy using AI, based on the awakening at the start of Season 2, Chapter 1.  I went and retrieved the relevant passage.  Here it is:

"Soft, sloping shoulder, their slenderness accentuated by the delicate strap of the babydoll that whispered against my thigh with every movement. Small, slightly upturned nose and the full lips beneath, glistening and soft. The dark, round circle of areolas. The nubs that pushed out rudely from their center. My penis, hanging ashamedly behind its silky blue veil. Blonde-brown hair that fell across my eye and flicked across my cheek. Narrow and weak chin--cute--but not mine. Sleek and lean, smooth hairless calves that nearly gleamed, bereft of hard lines of either muscle or definition. Again those tits, high and firm on the chest, rounded and large--too large--on a narrowed frame."

(Again, censorship limitations probably required certain details to be left out!)

For any of you who write as well, perhaps you've had this experience as well.  There's something quite odd abot reading something you've written over a decade ago--it's like hearing a recording of your own voice from years past.  

I wonder how the same scene would emerge were I to write it today?  I -did- begin to rewrite that chapter, years ago.  It was one of my earliest attempts at getting back into writing Constant.  I stripped away the scene with K, and had David wake up, alone, in his new life.  I'll share those revisions someday, once I've cleaned them up a bit.

Meanwhile, what do you think of the two images?  How do they align with your mind's eye view of Cindy?  

There's a danger in images, isn't there - of locking a specific interpretation of character, eliminating ambiguity or individual investment? (If like me you're a bit of a dork, can you visualise Lord of the Rings' Gandalf as anyone other than Ian McKellen, or Samwise differently than Sean Astin, complete with west country accent? Though maybe you fixed on Angus Mcbride's fantasy artwork before the films....)

At the same time, I -do- enjoy the visuals, and the opportunity to explore what these characters (and settings!) look like.  In a genre so heavily focused on visuals - clothes, fashion, body - and with erotica so reliant on visuals, there's a real appeal in embodying these characters.  Stories with Images on FM seem to enjoy far more hits, after all.
