suggested I should have Bing cook me up a portrait of Ruthie, and I thought, 'Why the absolute fuck not?'
You remember Ruthie's Amazing Travels, right? 90s educational kids show? Not on PBS, but one of those other channels? Kinda like Magic School Bus, or Carmen Sandiego, or The Country Mouse & City Mouse Adventures? It's right there on the tip of your brain, isn't it? Actually, she's a double-fictional pastiche of all those shows, existing in the Justin & Lena stories as their favorite cartoon.
(And, yes, her fur is supposed to be light gray. Bing seriously did not want to cooperate with me on that. After 300 tries, this was the Ruthiest I could get.)
EDIT: Fixed her asymmetrical eyes. It was bugging me.

Ruthie's Amazing Travels, RAT. Because of course they have to explain the difference between a mouse and a rat. "Those diagrams are educational." With every splat, near eaten moment, and "Don't try this at home" Ruthie would be a wonderful precursor to Totally Spies. Mudwrestling adventure girls aside, I wonder how the shower scenes would go? How do you animate a 12 mouse India tile shower scene?

Yup, lotta muck in the jungle. I actually tried several jungle peril ideas, and the quicksand ones came out the least-fucked-up. I was also hoping to have her on a precarious rock ledge in a temple grabbing for a giant jewel.

Glad you like! And it really seemed to be the combo of light gray fur and red hair. I got some gray-furred brunettes a few times, or all gray. But ask it for a redhead and it wants the body fur to be in the vicinity of a similar color.

Oddly, it gets that part. I can ask for separate fur and hair colors, no problem. It's how much reference does it have for certain fur/hair combinations? There aren't a lot of gray redhead furries (which is why I wanted that for Ruthie to set her apart), so it defaults to a color pattern it likely sees in a lot of Lion King fanart. After tens of thousands of generated images, I have some insight into how the beast perceives.

What a strange limitation, able learn from and 'copy' the style of oodles of source material to create new pics but incapable of tweaking even basic things like color if it doesn't have enough to work with to figure out that yes, you can have different color pairings than just the ones available. Good news for non-AI artists though I suppose.
