Show HN: Paint yourself in the style of classic art, in your browser

After seeing this, and thinking through what I wrote yesterday, I have a bit of a different take. I don't like the style transfers of famous art-piece, to user-provided image. A skin-deep transfer of the look of Van Gogh, or Katsushika Hokusai, or Renoir, or whatever doesn't make art (in my opinion).

I realize these tools are just a proofs-of-concept, which is something I forgot yesterday. What I'd like to be able to do is style transfer between arbitrary images, whether it's my own work or that of others. That would open up the creative possibilities.

Fast Neural Style transfer is a variation of a "regular" Neural Style algorithm.

With regular Neural Style, you can do style transfer between any two arbitrary images. The disadvantage is it takes longer so doing it in the browser might be unfeasible for now. See https://github.com/anishathalye/neural-style

Anyway, even with Fast Neural Style, you can use any arbitrary image as a Style, but you'll have to train it first (4-6 hours on a GPU).
