Stable Elves 1.0.4  

A few months ago I started playing around with that fancy new image generator "AI" called Stable Diffusion.  At some point I decided that creating a portrait mod for Stellaris would be a fun project that would help give me practice with writing prompts and touching up output images.  As a bonus, a lot of the horrible flaws of "AI" generated images like their atrocious hands are hard to notice when they're shrunk down to the thumbnail sized images like the ones used in a Stellaris portrait mod.

The goal of this mod was to create a portrait mod with a variety of different outfits where each pop type would have its own theme, but I wanted all of the pops to have the same style and look like they belonged together as part of a larger set.  I also wanted to generate a large pool of portraits to hopefully mitigate the "Birthday Paradox" problem and improve the odds that my important leaders will have unique portraits for easier identification during a game.  Originally I was just planning to use the mod for myself, but I decided to release the mod after some people expressed interest in it while I was asking for advice on how to use Stable Diffusion.  As of the version 1.0 release, there are 151 portraits split into the following categories.

• 21 Rulers:  They have elaborate and ornate clothing, but the outfits are completely shameless in their use of silky sheer material.  Kind of a harem girl look.
• 20 Governors:  I gave them more of a evening gown look.  Sheer fabric is still in use but as a whole they're more modest than most other pops.  I wanted the women to look a bit more mature than most of the other pops.
• 27 Military:  Admirals and Generals share this set for the 1.0 release.  The common theme when I made theme is that I quite liked the high collared dress jackets seen on the Principality of Zeon officers from the Gundam franchise.  Especially in the striking red color worn by Char.  So I tried to keep that dress jacket and experimented from there.   I eventually want to give Generals a separate theme, but I haven't decided on what yet.
• 13: Envoys:  Extremely lewd cocktail dress was the theme.  I wanted to try to evoke a feeling like the envoys are actively trying to seduce whereas the lewd outfits of the other pops were just a product of their culture.
• 51 Scientists:  The common theme is lab coats, glasses, and turtleneck sweaters.  From there there is a mix of leotards/bottomless/underboob/boob windows to try to create some variety.
• 19 generic pops:  The basic pops have a "uniform" of favoring detached sleeves and thigh highs.

These portraits are defined as part of a new "Stable Elf" species, so they shouldn't conflict with any other portrait mods.

A disclaimer on content depicted in my preview screenshots.  This mod ONLY contains the elf portraits.  The rest of the content depicted within the screenshots include:

• UI changes are part of "UI Overhaul Dynamic" from the steam workshop.  Steam workshop credits Orrie as the author.
• Namelist used in the screenshot is from "Elves of Stellaris" from the steam workshop.  Steam workshop credits Princess Stabbity, Teneb Kei, and TheGrandN as authors.
• The enslaved prepatent species is one of the species from Mugginnato's "Stellaris Vanilla Framework" mod from loverslab.
• The flag is from TheRegalSeagull's "Womb Tattoo Flags" mod from loverslab.

I know that there has been some drama regarding "AI" generated drawings in the past few months.  I don't want to discuss that topic here.  We're all here to have fun.
