Hmm, interesting. You did mention that you use 'additional techniques', so like photoshop or something? Kinda curious with your workflow.
Naah naahh bro, these days, I'm into using GIMP and still learning the ropes. In the past, I used Photoshop for some light editing and stuff but they become too much gready and launched subscriptions. Nowadays, I do use GIMP occasionally, mostly for control net and stuff, but I don't spend too much time on it if I don't feel like investing, you know?, if you're willing to put in the work and try out different platforms, you can create all sorts of images.
For generating images, my go-to is usually automatic 1111 or comfy UI - they do a pretty good job. When it comes to editing, I rely on GIMP, and sometimes I use Krita for hands and stuff; it's pretty user-friendly, But to be honest, I don't use them unless I want to put some serious effort into a specific image.
Recently, I've been learning a lot since I started generating images on my own device, about a month or so ago. There's still a ton of stuff I need to check out. Usually, I just cycle through images with different LORA and settings, upscale them, and post the ones with cool overall visuals. Different prompts require a slightly different approach, and even tweaking variables like VAEs, clip skip, and the amount of LORA can have a big impact, though it could also be due to my inexperience.
My device is pretty powerful, not bleeding edge but definitely up there in the spectrum - it's an year and half old build using an RTX 3070 and likewise, some pretty good other new-gen components, which gives me a smooth experience overall. But I've seen folks on YouTube rocking those 4090s and other powerful setups, and they churn out images super fast with more complex workflows.
I try to get the most out of my device, but running 30-40 upscales in one go would take forever and put too much strain on it. So, in those cases, I adjust and do lighter batches, and then move on to other stuff. Gotta keep things running smoothly, without straining my babe too much you know ..
Not quite I had in mind, but it went far much much better than I expected.
I thought about doing full furry images, too, with minimal human features. But I don't know why I like the ones with more human features and some furry features, so I posted them with a few tweaks here and there.
To be honest, generating images with AI is fun and fast, but really creating a detailed one takes a couple of days of work on a single image to make it good. It takes time to get those perfect images, or by luck you may get one just based on the models or additional lora and stuff you put it on.
I plan to do the same prompts again as you and other people listed when I have free time. I will probably post some too, and if I do, I will keep in mind to tag you or others here so you can check them out then.
I am still inexperienced in generative AI art, and to be honest, I mostly tweaked the images that I personally favoured. So I probably can't live up to expectations, but thanks for giving me ideas for generating images. You know, it's hard for me to come up with characters.
