How did you DO that?!
if you need to skip my very important philosophy/bloviation, skip to the TL;DR THE PROCESS So, almost daily I get questions in my inbox or comments on the images I post: What's your prompt? Catbox the file so I can read the metadata! What LoRA is this? and so on. I hate to break it to you, but even if I gave you the exact prompt, checkpoint, LoRAs involved, and the seed, you're simply not going to get the same result. It'll be in the same ballpark, but it just won't have the same level of detail these images have. Don't worry, I'm not on a high horse here. I've written this post to explain my process in detail so you too can get the same kind of results! But before we begin, please read the following statement like 20 times: THE PROMPT IS NOT IMPORTANT. THE PROMPT WILL NOT GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED. Obviously that's a pretty hyperbolic statement. And it's not entirely true, but I'm trying to make a point here. Everywhere I go for discourse on image generation, I see this
It's been a while. I finally worked up the gumption to post again, and it's mostly because I've been stuck at home like everyone else, but progress is progress.
I also want to apologize if I've not responded as often as I should have or if I've ghosted anyone in the last five years, when I first got started I thought I was ready to be a bit more social but I suppose I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was, or as honest about it. I'm making an effort to at least be a bit more personable and/or polite, though. Also I don't really RP anymore.
Expect a few extra pictures that I've had commissioned or been gifted over the gap as well!
Finally got a first submission! Even if it's a commission, but still, I'm really happy with how it turned out. ~gammanaut (https://www.deviantart.com/gammanaut) is a real magic worker. :D
Hoping to try and be a little more active too. More active lurking. But otherwise, real happy with everything!
