[[ Final Deep Nostalgia post for now. The app had a lot of trouble with Jarlaxle, specifically with not being able to identify a face in the various artworks featuring him. I would guess that primarily his hat and secondarily his eyepatch confuses the software, and the pointy ears probably do not help either. Even the “successful” animation above shows a lot of issues (source: Waterdeep: Dragon Heist interior art).
These are the artworks that I’ve tried with Deep Nostalgia that the app couldn’t find a face in:

The last one is especially disappointing as he doesn’t have a hat on his head getting in the way for the app, but I guess the eyepatch throws off the app too much. The dramatic lighting and lack of hue diversity shouldn’t hinder the app, as with the former I was able to successfully animate a fanart of Artemis and if the latter was an issue, the app shouldn’t be able to handle black and white photos, which it does.
I didn’t try the Jarlaxle from the cover of Servant of the Shard due to it being a total profile shot. I also didn’t try the Jarlaxle from the art for cover of The Legacy, as this was the largest image that I could find of it:

The size and resolution (or rather, lack thereof) falls beneath Deep Nostalgia’s minimum threshold. ]]
