Getting good reference art from the AI generators using text prompts is like coding computers or writing a story. You start with the setting and the character, telling a visual story of what you want. The AI spits a picture back. You change the words and try again. Move the words up or down in priority. Maybe even add a + or – to the word to really reinforce what you want or don’t want. I had 3 or 4 PCs with 4 windows open, running generations that I would check every half hour or so to see what they gave me. Between doing other stuff around home, that usually ends up being 20 to 50 images per PC a day to analyze. It usually takes me 2 or 3 days at that rate to find the prompt that will reliably give me the character and setting I want. That’s Step One.
