The Fakist… in AI!

Hey, folks. Bill Meeks here, creator of The Fakist, voice of Paul DaFoe and sometimes-actual-character (see One Last Day). I’m been radio silent since The Fakist: One Last Day wrapped up because I’ve been busy building a new universe called Everly Heights. Trivia: The Fakist started as an idea for an animated cartoon, and I’m finally doing one called Very Special, with hopefully more stories set in the Everly Heights universe to come!

To build assets for Everly Heights, I took the assets I made for that original Fakist animated series idea and spent about a year training a variety of Stable Diffusion models to quickly create characters, settings, and props in my art style. The result is the Everly Heights Story Studio. Click that link for all the details, including a free download to the models.

Fakist fans, take note! Paul DaFoe is built into these models, although he looks the most like me when you use the full checkpoint. Just a little Easter egg for fans of my previoous “big idea.” Bring The Fakist to your AI images by prompting “Paul DaFoe man” or “The Fakist” in your images. Enjoy!
