I havenāt been on my phone enough to warrant downloading it, yet. I think I will look at it this weekend. Right now itās catching up on posts and laundry/kitchen work.

So, I looked into Wonder and itās a clear security risk. I chose the next one down that wasnāt near as bad called starryai, and am trying it out now.

So, trying out this thing, and all Iām trying to get is a space invasion of an ancient Chinese city to see if it can hack it, and it cannot quite yet. Still, not bad.

I figure out they do it x4s. It works on a credit system, so Iād have to watch ads to do any more or join their discord server.

I gave Dalle2 a try. I like it that it has the ability to inpaint and outpaint but I havenāt produced anything impressive from it yet. Not sure if it needs different types of prompts.
Damn, Iām really tempted to pay for some midjourney credits. I had pretty nice results with it before.
But I really shouldnāt.
The addiction is strongā¦

OMG. I found a secret to making DALLE2 work. Need to combine the powers of all AIs. Buahahaha.
The starting image, generated in DALLE2 from a prompt, I also gave the inpainting a try attempting to fix her face. Didnāt do much. This is the ābestā of the results.
I put that faceless thing through dualstyleGAN and created her
I thought, ok, I like her. She could be Tristine. Letās keep going. So I gave DALLE2 Outpainting a try. I put her in there and added a prompt and through a series of many many many generations, Iāve arrived at this!
It wasnāt quick and easy. It took a lot of tries and a lot of credits. I had to delete areas and regenerate them (and I found that it does a better job generating large areas than small ones - donāt use it for touchups). But the point is that it is possible to do that!
Ok. I have 11 credits left on DALLE2. So little credits, so much to do!!! But I also have to use them by the end of the month so I can try again. But which character should I work on next? hmmm

Iāve had constant brilliant luck with DALLE since I got access back in June, but itās not something Iād use for faces. Iāve found though that if you get a believable face with something like facemorph.me, it expands the face into a full body reasonably well. DALLEās strength is in other forms of art.

I canāt anymore. Iām so addicted to this. Iām continuously in awe. I get a rush every time I generate something awesome but the problem is that itās never 100% perfect. Thereās always something Iād like to change about it and so I try again to see if I get lucky. And it just continuesā¦
This time I got caught up with Dream by Wombo. Their new presets can create faces and I found a nice prompt combination. I thought itād be cool to update my book cover and so Iāve been trying to generate something thatās usable on a cover.
So for example, this is a cool image that could work for a cover, Ruby looks right, even the hand looks realistic (I donāt know why this AI keeps trying to create hands, itās really bad at it, itās like it keeps challenging itself).
But this image as nice as it is, it doesnāt wow me. I keep hoping for something better and Iām starting to wonder if Iāll ever be satisfied.
This one is more interesting, but his hands are freaky and Iām wondering if I could either cover it up and maybe thatās where the title would go or if it would be possible to fix it with DALLE2 inpainting.
But then if it was possible for AI to create a realistic hand in the first one then maybe if I keep trying, Iād arrive at an anatomically correct image thatās also interesting. But when do I stop and finally settle on what Iāve got?
UPDATE.
Iāve gone through hundreds of them today. Hundreds!
But Iāve landed on a nice prompt combination and Iām getting really cool results. For example, this baby. Iāll try a bit more but this prompt might be it! Wish me luck.

Okay. I think I finally created the right image for the cover.
What do you think???
What genre do you think this book is?

Looks professional enough. Make sure to view it at about an inch high, to make sure that thumbnails on Wattpad will work, but I think it will do fine as thereās enough contrast behind the letters.

I want to do something with all those beautiful images Iāve created. Itās just such a shame to keep them only to myself. I want to share! Where should I put them? Should I create a DevianArt account to showcase them? Pinterest? Probably not Pinterest, itās so easy for people to distribute there with zero credit.
Maybe Instagram then? Iād rather not have to create a brand new account on a brand new platform just for this. My book instagram is in need of content. I think it would be cool to make a slideshow in a video with cool background musicā¦
I still donāt have a TikTok account. Iāve been avoiding it but not sure how long Iāll be able to.
Okay, we can start with Instagram then. Sure, photo slideshow is the easiest but I think a video would be beyond cool.

Retool the size and make them the headers of your chapters. I usually put that up when Iām done.

Yeah, I think chapter art would also be good but Iād like to add variety to it, other characters and settings.

What on earth is that finger?!
Which one? The second image has 13 fingers. The third hasā¦ I guess one???
Fingers are hard for humans to draw. AI is no better than us.

The one finger

Since AI was adamant at putting his hands in view, I thought, letās give him something to hold. I tried many many times to get him to hold an energy orb. None of those hands came out right. Fingers are so bad.
And some times the energy orb was in a strange spot like in the middle of his forehead.
One could assume that itās easy to create these images. It really isnāt. It takes a lot of tries.
I still think itās worth it because when it works out, itās outstanding.
