Final set of covers I tried generating for Chapter 9. We've got some interesting ones to end this particular series.
First one was...okay, I guess? Lillie's outfit would have needed some work, especially the bow. The Silvally was generated behind her, so we miss out on a lot of detail. The Squirtle is more visible, but it didn't look quite right.
Ho boy, where to begin for the second? We get a Silvally's head (unless it's just buried that deep in the sand), a strange take on the Alice dress, and possibly the best-looking Squirtle of this batch. Not the biggest fan of Lillie's ponytail look, so overall this was a 'no.'
The third one seems middle of the road. All of the characters came out okay (with minor edits needed on Lillie, as per usual), but the only beach-related item that came out of the prompts was the sand. Was looking for a lot more, so this was rejected.
This was around the time I decided to use Lana in the 'Mock Squirtle' role, but trying to generate her in any semblance of a costume would've been near impossible. Thus I enlisted TheWaifuDepot over on Twitter to make art for the chapter 9 cover, as well as chapter 10's. I took that, generated pics of Lillie and Silvally separately, and combined them all into a much more coherent image than I would have been able to do normally. With that in mind, there won't be any alternates for 10...or 11 for that matter. Next time, you'll start seeing lots and LOTS of fails for the final chapter.
In the meantime, which of these is your favorite? Would you have tried using any of them instead of the path I chose?
