Yesterday I did my first thread looking at my evolved, named, Gen 1 @poetslost.
Today I'm doing another🧵 going through all of my unnamed poets! Let's get into it... ↓
#6154
I very nearly named this one - I loved the colours, the piercing eyes and the lips drawn together.
The new Gen 1 version is just something else, though. The eyes stare into your soul, and the colours are incredible. I'm a fan.
#6161
I find it really interesting that, whilst the Gen 0 version is very, very clearly looking forward, the new Gen 1 version is looking elsewhere.
The white patterns, and tree-branch shapes to the left of the new image are really interesting to me.
#6162
The initial Gen 0 version gave me teenage girl vibes, whilst the Gen 1 version is more of a sophisticated lady.
With improved, ornate spectacles, and a rounded visage - this is definitely an upgrade over the Gen 0 version, in my opinion!
#6164
I'm stunned by the simplicity of this one. The Gen 1 version demonstrates further vibrance and detail, whilst remaining elegant and uncluttered.
I'm surprised by the clear colour contrast on the cheeks, however. Where has that come from? What does it signify?#
#6931
What was once blind, and unseeing, has opened its eyes to the world.
The dark, tangled hair of the original Gen 0 version has been replaced with cables and tubes and coloured cheeks, similar to #6164.
Is there a connection there? I wonder.
#6932
I find the change in this one so, so interesting. I loved the texture of the original Gen 0 version; the brush strokes and what seemed to be paint-splatters near his mouth.
The new version is much smoother, more finished. The clear curve of his forehead intrigues me!
#23453
This has got to be one of my favourite transformations. The original Gen 0 version, in my head, was almost a crew member of The Seafarer.
But the Gen 1 version is just so different, and so incredible. I loved the curved lines on the face, the baby blue augmentations...
#23454
Whilst Gen 0 blended into the background, becoming part of the darkness, the Gen 1 version of this poet is clearly contrasted, gaining shape, colour and emotion.
Again, we see those signature cheek-pads, albeit these ones are different in shape, almost suspended. 👀
#23456
Similar to #6161, I love how the Gen 1 version transforms the previously empty, white space into what seems to be some kind of pearlescent material, with detailed engravings.
The cybernetic augmentations fit so well with this one, but is she mid-way through assembly?!
#23463
This. This has got to be one of my favourite transformations.
The former Gen 0 version, whilst interesting, doesn't have much about her. Eyes closed. Mouth closed. Details unclear.
The Gen 1 version has character, and that surpised look is EVERYTHING. I ❤️ it.
#23476
When I look at the Gen 1 version of this poet, I feel like we've caught him mid-build.
A robot being constructed to look human, steampunk cybernetics tweaking his expression and building the layers of his skin. I wonder, how will the finished product look?
And last, but not least, #23477.
There's a very clear difference in expression here. The Gen 0 version displays warmth, and a smile.
The Gen 1 version? Not so much. He stares into the distance, past you and towards something more important. What is it, I wonder?
I hope you've enjoyed this run-down of my various poets, and their transformations! Please do feel free to comment with your own thoughts / interpretations re. any of the updates; I'd love to hear them!
Thanks again, @muratpak, and thanks @poetslost community! <3
