Homm3 Castle Reimagined and upscaled with AI

It is not my intention to ruin anyones favorite unit or to impose any style onto the original content or create nightmare fuel. This is merely an experiment on if and how AI image generators could be used to revive some of the games we all enjoyed.

One of the AI problems atm are artwork & style inconsitency and generation of weird artefacts. This can be reduced with more precise prompting and negative prompts. Since homm3 is using sprite animation for graphics, in theory it would be possible to rework the artstyle using AI only, especially since the video AI is coming into play with gen-2 and platforms like runwayml.com

Yes, I know these are mediocre, but also it is so much fun to see the results, hopefully they will get better with each

Using Krea.ai to re-imagine and upscale Homm3 pixel graphics

Basic prompt Example: Archeangel with a sword and shield standing in front of a castle on the hill Advanced Prompt Example: archeangel muscular with beard wielding a sword and a shield standing in front a castle on the hill (Negative Prompt: remove the blade above the head)
