This is so freaking cool, it needs to be a webapp!
Thanks Waylon! I think I'll give this a shot - in theory it should be possible to convert it run entirely in the browser with no need for a backend. May be slow though... 🤔
Now have it online running fully in browser at harrison.codes/cartoonify

Thanks Ben 😀

Wow that's really awesome! Did you look into cloud services that can train the model for you? I've never used any but I've seen some ads for them.
I did! Although not specifically with the cartoon-ifying part...
Basically I wanted to see if I could also trim the background out of the image (so I could overlay the cartoon-ified person onto a flat colour background or something like that), so spent a bit of time playing around with AWS Sagemaker, using their inbuilt semantic segmentation model. Haven't made much progress with that yet though...
