    He looks like a bit like an influencer.

      I think it’s (in part) the way it rendered his beard. Looks really unnatural to me.

        Yeah, I’m still learning. I promise to do a better one when I can. It definitely lost shape on the chin.

      I think the AI is going out on a limb a bit. The features in the output are just a bit off, it doesn’t look like him anymore. Noseridge, eye spacing, hairline, cheekbone pronounciation, eyebrow spacing, mouthprofile, it’s kind of interesting how the normalized output reshapes the original.

    His cheekbones look unnaturally guant, something looks off about his nose, and he is missing his smallpox scars.

    Good start though!

      Is there another picture I can use to reference the scarring?

        You can see them here decently. Stalin was very self conscious of them, and many photos were edited to remove them to keep up state appearances. Plus photography was limited as is.

        Basically his face had some splotches, and was very pitted.

          Thanks for a more honest one… doesn’t take away from his beauty, in fact, it makes him more natural and human…

          Thanks! Still not super clear but much better. I’ll try to include that in my next attempt.
