Thank you!
I was experimenting with some very new image gen tooling for this latest chapter. I quite like the style it used, so I didn't put in all that much effort to change it. My process will certainly evolve for the coming chapters, as it has throughout.Your image style seems to have changed. I was rather attached to the previous look.
The art I made for the first few chapters of this story used a single AI model, and I had a pretty good method for getting the particular style I wanted out of it, though it struggled with hands and feet and images containing more than one person. That method doesn't work for a lot of newer models, which produce much more coherent images and greatly expand the scope of the scenes I can illustrate.
Each model has trade-offs: the ones with the best prompt adherence and detailing tend to not like nudity, and the ones that are good at nudity sometimes screw up hands and backgrounds, or have other problems. There's one model in particular that's good all-round and fast but only produces anime. So I use a mix of everything for each image, but that makes it challenging to get the particular style I was going for initially. I'm learning as I go, and the tech is improving all the time.
Incidentally, I've been going through the story periodically and replacing some of the oldest images.
