Very cool project. And 11th grade!?! Wow....I definitely wasn't doing anything like this at that age.

Something that came to mind as a potential way to get clearer and more realistic results is to add GAN loss. You can reference this as an example (shows pretraining on L2/mse and after with GAN):

I'm not 100% sure if it'd work but it seems like a potentially cool followup project.

Me either in 11th grade. I was definitely just playing Ocarina of Time for the millionth time, looking at sketchy forums that claimed you could find the Triforce somehow.

OMG dude that's such an accurate description of my life at that time.
