inpainting. Along with also using the seed, some of the prompts(mix n match) used to generate the original and playing around with the denoiser. So you have to juggle a lot of things.
I like the last two the most. 1. could also fit. In the sense that y'know depressed ppl aren't always crying, they just kinda look dead sometimes. which would be a cool indicator In game that "hey, i'm gonna break soon" for the player. Haven't managed to get a "soulless" looking one yet though, with hollow eyes and that.
Gonna work on optimistic, euphoric, ecstatic now. Will update this post when i get something
Did a hardcore run with zero skills and 200 sparks, survived the first girl and got 206 sparks and a formal outfit left after repaying the debt, hardcore runs are possible.
For depressed I actually like option 2 the best. Depressed is a hopeless feeling. Low energy, but as you said, not crying. A relatively calm expression with sad eyes fits best I think.
I don't really like any of the new happy ones. 14 through 16 I'd keep in the maybe pile and I'd discard the rest (the first because of eyes, the last because of eyes/nose/mouth).
Licking uses the "oral" image set. The patch media is an add-on to the base media. There are only a handful of conflicts where the patch media overwrites.
Okay I'll lock in no.2 for depressed.
Regarding faces in general, i'm gonna go the extra mile here for Helen but for future characters it's probably best to omit the faces or reduce the number to like 3-4 since i'm having to milk this rock for every drop of water right now getting these ones.
Now i'm googling "what does an optimistic face look like" - feels like something a psychopath would do. xD
edit:
here are some variations for "optimistic" - i painted in only the mouth and nose parts.

Maybe try "relaxed", "dreamy", "comfortable", "aroused", "seductive"? Euphoric and ecstatic don't necessarily need to be open-mouth smiles showing teeth, a small closed-mouth smile with relaxed eyes might work too. Delving into prompts along the lines of "she's into you" might yield interesting results too.
After careful examination and comparison, I prefer the original ones, as cartoonish as they look ^^ Maybe slight variations of them, but in general they hit the mark for me.
You picked 20. I prefer the one after that, number 21. It's subtle and I agree 20 works too, but 21's nose and mouth are a bit better to my eye. View attachment 2142183
