Goddamn the level of Helmet that bro be rockin'

That's some "Samurai fashioning their helmets to include amgy faces beetle horns and moustaache for intimidation factor" level war gear design.

I tried to generate a cool AI image of a Tlingit vs. Samurai duel but it didn't turn out so well. The Samurai looks good because there's lots of good historical imagery, but not as much on the Tlingit side.

It looks like a cursed Ewok fighting a Samurai instead and the attempt was so bad I dare not release it upon the world.

I had a similar experience when I tried to do an AI image of a "Teenage Mayan Ninja Turtle."
