Step Two of getting good character reference art is easy peasy. No brain needed. Just start a generation and walk away. Come back, save what you like, and start up another run. Usually 1 or 2 of each batch are just bad art because the AI went spastic. But the better AI generators can take a final prompt and give you 2 or 3 out of 4 that look good. Once I saved 50, 100, or more images, I would do a more in depth pass, deleting the ones that were good but didn\u2019t match my mind’s eye. Usually 25% failed that pass.
