Sword in the Stone by fakenameyfakenamey on DeviantArt

Another from my "Revisions 4-Pack" from a month ago -- https://www.patreon.com/posts/124012046/"Sword in the Stone." Variation on a well-trod concept. This one is kinda not a typical revision since I've deleted so many variations of this idea that I never posted my old versions I think; top level image was the last survivor. This was my go-to idea to test out new models for several years so I have seen a lot of awful variations of this concept. If you know anything about AI, and you realize that this sequence only works with a completely static foreground object, and a sword that a character in the mid-ground is interacting with, you might realize how advanced models have to be to be able to execute this concept given where they started.
