Spot on here! I’ve only just been using stable Diffusion for a couple of weeks now to help me visualise characters and locations in my world building. It’s such a great tool when you really have no artistic skill. But the limitations soon become apparent and a lot of problem solving goes into trying to regenerate the simplest things.
Can generate a near perfect image in a minute if the prompts are right and you get lucky. But the details take hours, where an artist would be able to simply visualise and draw it in.
I think the key is to develop basic skills to draw a really shit mockup of what you want, then img2img it from that… I’ll get there, maybe.
Exactly. At first glance it can spit out some really impressive stuff, but turning that content into a coherent piece of artwork still takes imagination and skill.
I can’t draw very well, but I’ve gotten good at compositing and image manipulation over the years. SD is amazing, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t spend hours and hours piecing together an image to be the way I wanted it.
