  The goal of human stylization is to transfer full-body human photos to a
style specified by a single art character reference image. Although previous
work has succeeded in example-based stylization of faces and generic scenes,
full-body human stylization is a more complex domain. This work addresses
several unique challenges of stylizing full-body human images. We propose a
method for one-shot fine-tuning of a pose-guided human generator to preserve
the "content" (garments, face, hair, pose) of the input photo and the "style"
of the artistic reference. Since body shape deformation is an essential
component of an art character's style, we incorporate a novel skeleton
deformation module to reshape the pose of the input person and modify the DiOr
pose-guided person generator to be more robust to the rescaled poses falling
outside the distribution of the realistic poses that the generator is
originally trained on. Several human studies verify the effectiveness of our
approach.
