>>2903144I did finish the mod, but at the time I was making space elves. But now I want to add a second custom species to the game. Inklings are the topic this time. I just had really shitty results until I started using the pony model with a mix of one of the inkling loras and an "80's anime" lora.
Unfortunately I just haven't had much time to really experiment with prompting to get everything dialed in correctly.
I think I'm getting closer to the point where I just need to generate a bunch of images with slightly different looks and then pick my favorites for the mod. A lot of the AI-portrait mods for stellaris have the characters looking really similar as if they were recolors of the same person from a fighting game. I try to avoid that by using a bunch of different permutations of the prompt where slight differences in the character's build, pose, and outfit are used. Previously I did that via X/Y/Z scripts so I'd have different combinations of traits like petite/mature characters, small/medium/large breasts, breasts_out/underboob/pasties/cleavage_window/sideboob, short/long hair, etc.
Which reminds me that I need to look at comfyUI again and see if it can do permutations better than X/Y/Z scripts.
I do need to look into better ways to cut the character out from the background. Previously I did them all by hand in photoshop and it was a pain in the ass. The automated methods of removing backgrounds that I've played with have gotten things 80% right. I might end up using NAI's Director Tools to strip the background since the few tests that I did were able to do the job ~98% right. I'd prefer to avoid using paid services, but I guess just using NAI might be fine since I subscribe to their scroll tier for text-gen anyway, so I should have more than enough image generation anlas for removing the background from a few dozen images.
