Java Duke

The Java mascot Duke, but with feet. Generated while experimenting with image models together with a colleague, Oliver. For some reason this one stuck.

Around the release of GPT 4o, image generation crossed a threshold where producing coherent and highly specific results became trivial. Duke with feet feels like a small but telling example.

"It's amazing to think what great and exciting things people will be doing with PCs in 30 years."

Apparently one of them is giving programming mascots anatomically plausible lower limbs.
