This higher quality one is how ChatGPT repaired the image. It's weird, because both characters are supposed to be androgynous males. Seeing them at this higher resolution is... there's a lot to unpack. First off, Blake (top) looks mixed race (Latino/Black) and Jordan (bottom) was always supposed to look Native American, (Plains Indian specifically).

I feel like I got these characters right, like I captured this in a way that feels as believable as I could get it, in a minimalist theatre setting (underground black box). I also think that Blake looks the most like Killer-Red. When I say Killer-Red contains a combination of Jordan and Blake, this is a reference image for that. But yeah, I'm pleased with this. These two are mine, they belong to me, I created them, but seeing them in high res like this is very validating. I remember females telling me that they were attracted to these characters, which, today, would mean very little. But back then, that was wild to me.

I intentionally made them dreamy and carried them in ways that felt understandable. This is me telling my past self, Hey good job. I clearly see what you were doing here and it's useful to me, even now. So yay, well done, past me!
