I LOVE that "horror". Reminds me of some of the art I've seen on album/single covers. Any chance of letting people access that kind of intermediate step? (Though I know it's a niche as hell use case).

Ah yes, the fine line between charming anime character and lovecraftian horror

There was such popular demand for these "horror" images that we made them part of the generation in V2! If you refresh enough on the webpage, you can find some horrors!

For anyone looking to do this, here's some I made:

I rolled around 40 times on the first stage and chose a horror. I skipped the second stage and didn't roll on the third stage, just chose one of the presented details. I skipped the fourth stage because I rolled maybe ~200 times and only saw around 1-2 comparable horrors.

I rolled around 100 times on the first stage and saw about 3-4 horrors before choosing a horror. I rolled about 70 times on the second stage, didn't find anything interesting, just chose a normal color palette. I rolled maybe 80 times on the third stage and chose a horror, though the results were pretty consistently horrors. I rolled around 60 times on the fourth stage and saw about 1-2 other horrors before choosing a horror. Also, here's what it looked like after the third stage and before finishing the fourth stage:

It's possible the third and fourth stages can produce horrors from normal faces, I didn't check.
