I've already talked a lot about the male clerics on my posts on Cuthbert, Ingham and Rion. The first two are sufficiently different that they can stand out even in their original form, but Rion and Loynis almost looked like twins, so one of them had to change to something a bit more unique. That was Rion, and it was already discussed. That means, it follows, that Loynis gets to keep an aspect much closer to his original portrait, which is indeed what I've done.
As is usually the case, all of them except the three AI generated ones depart too much from the art style of the original, so they only are likely to get picked if the original is pretty terrible. What is not necessarily always true is that all three of the AI options are pretty well done. There aren't any real artifacts or funkiness going on in either of the img2img ones, and ensrick didn't depart much from the original template either. I could probably have happily picked any of the three, but I think ensrick's is slightly higher quality as a representation of a human face and otherwise as an artistic take on the Original.
WINNER: ensrick, once again
