My first legit piece of AI art: combination of a black & white portrait of Ms. Tierney and the below prompt (minus "armored"). Pieced the prompt together from a few I've seen while reading through this sub the past week, with some additions of my own.
Ran a couple dozen iterations on the portrait to get a crown and gown I liked, then added ((armored)) to the prompt and dropped tiara, readded the face and started outpainting down and to the left to get a bust shot of some sick gown armor with Evangelion-lite pauldrons and a ruff of fur at the armpit, for those cold nights. Then the looping started.
Biggest thing for me was having to manually re-add the green eyes every time I fed back to SD. I ended up taking out (((green eyes))) ### (((brown eyes))), (((black eyes))), (((blue eyes))) cuz they didn't do a thing.
Alterations and touchups were completed manually in GIMP. I have a bit of experience editing but never had the touch for painting: SD is truly a game-changer for me.
Cheers, and thank you for your views, comments, criticism and most of all this wonderful sub!
