Hmong hybrid formalwear fashion for women.
Hmong Men's hybrid formalwear. Just gotta keep the embroidery colors complementary or neutral and keep it consistent with the tuxedo construction and it'll blend together seamlessly.
Angels and archangels.
Still experimenting to get better at this.
Here's the King of Heaven and his daughters. Finally a new theme I can get behind.
Turned out a lot better than I hoped. Hmong men hybrid fashion.
Since someone requested a family picture of the 7 daughters of the heavenly king. Not very familiar with this story, just that the main character kidnaps the eldest daughter because he wanted an audience with the king of heaven.
Well anyone who follows me knows that I usually go through a whole Hmong AI fashion week or two after I breakthrough a new tool. Although with this tool though...might be longer than two.
Today is...winterwear.
Gotta give the people what they want, Hmong mermaids. After a year and a half, in Hmong American fashion, finally.
But man are proper Hmong hats tough to make with AI. Seems like there's no English language at all to explain Hmong hats to AI. Actually that's true for Hmong clothes in general, really.
First Hmong Flux lora finished in Hmong American style.
Well, that was a lot of work. Couldn't get the character to talk with LivePortrait this time around.
Bing for base image, Stable Diffusion for enhancement/refinement, KlingAI for AI video, Topaz AI for enlargement/slow motion, DaVinci Resolve and some old fashioned stock music and sound effects.
Family picture time. The famous seven daughters and the Dragon King.
Cyber Barbarian. One who lives for battle.
Probably last of the cyber warrior series. It's been fun times seeing what Bing can do with some help from Stable Diffusion.
Cyber wizard, master of reality and ally to all benevolent beings.
Went fishing today. Caught me some Mermen and Mermaids with Flux.
Cyber Cleric, channeling the divine against evil.
Cyber Bard. Running into battle with a musical instrument.
Cyberknight. Definitely gives a different meaning to dark ages.
Beware the gumiho, the nine tail fox of Korean folklore. It comes at night and transforms into a beautiful woman to eat the hearts or livers of young men.
The Japanese yokai called yuki-onna, or snow women. With thousands of stories, they often appear to people stranded in snowstorms. Sometimes evil, sometimes benevolent, they are perhaps the most well known of the snow folk-spirits.
Something old something new. Yeah, it was a good idea to revisit old themes from the past. Many times art is just the rehashing of old ideas in new ways.
With new AI technology, I guess we can go rehash some old popular themes, especially since I'm getting better at making them too. Dragons and mermaids, once again. This time, more happy and positive.
Japanese cyberpunk.
Korean Cyberpunk.
Chinese cyberpunk.
Got a little bit better at the Cyberpunk stuff. New workflow, better results.
Best I can do with Flux, Bing, and Stable Diffusion. With some image to video, it just might do.
Finally got the right model together to be able to upscale and edit these Hmong cyberpunk pictures. I guess I can write a book in this universe now.
Sitting around waiting on AI video to get better so I can get to filmmaking. But some elemental goddesses do help pass the time. With all this capability, I don't think it makes sense to stick to any existing Hmong story tropes.

A long time ago, I wrote, sang, and recorded a song that fits perfectly with the Nkauj Hnub Nraug Hli story. A friend of mine reminded me of it, so I guess here's a video.
What a great message from Miss Universe Laos to finish up the year. I would have to say this is one of the best videos I've ever had the privilege to make. Thanks to Cypher Side Dance School and Payengxa Lor for the opportunity.
By popular demand, the Warriors at Hmong Nouveau As a Hmong kid growing up in the 90s, I never thought Hmong and Southeast Asian guys could achieve the physical perfection these guys have. Proud to see our brothers pushing boundaries of how Hmong and Asian American men are seen and valued.
