+
+Valknar approaches AI generation as a negotiation — between the model's statistical memory of human aesthetics and a deliberate effort to pull those aesthetics toward the unfamiliar. The results are portraits and figures that feel simultaneously recognisable and wrong.
+
+Working primarily with portrait and figure generation, Sable uses seed manipulation, latent space traversal, and post-processing to extract images that resist the smoothness the models default to.
