#Tip 8 – Animal characters with human characteristics
4 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
The easiest way to get animal characters with human characteristics is to describe the animal doing some action, or dressed a certain way, using a flexible art style that can handle fantasy. Don’t get too specific about how the action is being done, or details of clothing. Too many goals can confuse the AI. Keep things simple at first. This trick works best if the action or clothing is compatible with the anatomy of the animal.
It can be very difficult to get the AI to produce something very specific. If you have a general idea of what you want and accept the random nature of the process, you will tend to be more satisfied.
Here is“a hamster playing the guitar. digital art.”
These are all pretty good! Some include musical notes without asking for them, thanks to the associations between playing a guitar and music in the training data.
Asking to see an animal dressed a certain way often works. You can ask for an animal superhero, villain, or other common role. How about making a custom coloring book for kids? Here is “a hamster superhero. black and white coloring book.”
This method puts focus on getting the main character first. If you need to put the character into a setting, you can use outpainting.
You can try to get the setting in the prompt, but every item you ask for in the prompt will draw focus away from your main character, reducing the chances of getting a coherent result.
