The image below is the first sample image I got, which shows the original faces mixing with some features of my images! Lagom is a Swedish word that describes the feeling when something has ‘perfect balance’ or is ‘just right’. I encourage you to check out his YouTube channel if you’re interested in learning more about training StyleGANs.

Summer nature vector graphic elements Set of nature vector design elements isolated on white background. This is much easier than drawing birds in the field because holding binoculars and drawing is difficult! M Godding Books Ltd is an internet book business running from Wiltshire and sending books all over the world every working day.Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. This network has been trained on thousands of images of people’s faces and has in turn learned to produce new images which (for the most part) look like real photographs of people’s faces.

The model you’re using as a base for training a StyleGAN doesn’t have to be similar in subject matter to the images you will be training it with, and in this case I used the ffhq model by NVlabs, which is trained from a set of images of faces.I’m pretty sure if you didn’t know this was generated by a Neural Network you would have no trouble believing it was a real bird illustration. Later, when working for the RSPB, Mike met Richard Porter who offered him a job illustrating a poster and book on birds for children in North Yemen.
