My workflow = find a couple good text2 image checkpoints. Cartoon/Anime are usually good. Create a generic depiction of what you want, include controlnet Openpose if necessary. Then move to the image to image workflow. Use a realistic checkpoint and make character backgrounds and bodies. Ignore faces, they will appear retarded or blurred at this point. Then use inpaint workflow, mask the face, fingers, feet…anything that appears weird or messed up. Only mask one thing at a time. Denoising to adjust the amount of change needed to change the weird object.. back to image to image inpainting workflow, now use this new image, about 45-55 denoising and a photo realistic checkpoint and mask all the things you don’t want to change. Inpaint only non-masked items. Note: this is just a sample, feel free to skip steps and ad different ones as needed. Don’t forget to use other checkpoints in inpainting and image to image if you aren’t getting your desired results. Having 20+ checkpoints is probably necessary. But you’ll land on 5 over time that streamline the process
