Prompt: a 90s fantasy movie still of an angry imp called Blazt trapped inside a flask, Blazt has red mottled skin and an oversized head that sticks out of the flask, the flask is placed on the desk of a wizard’s laboratory, the scene is shot with soft lighting and a 35mm lens --ar 4:3 --v 6.0 --s 150
I’m trying out naming my subject and see if it makes it easier to describe it. It took me forever to get Blazt in that flask, his arms and legs kept popping out.
A few extras:
Almost perfect except for his tail.
Complete failure :)
Too much head
The "almost perfect" really nailed the smudged window look from all 80s and early 90s fantasy films. Everything but the subject really is perfect.
In MJ v5.2, one was able to subtly edit sections of a result, but v6 doesn't (yet) have that function. 😭 It could've made this project more efficient, IMHO, and I hope that option returns (and is improved, ofc.)
It is indeed pretty perfect. I would have run with it and edited out the tail by hand. That can even be done with infill AI as well, if one would be lacking the skill.
I enjoy the creature in the final product a bit more. The almost perfect creature feels a little too gremlin-y.
Yeah, you're right - the face definitely has more character and feels less derivative, but the background and general composition of the gremlin picture are just perfect.
This actually highlights my major complaint with AI image generation right now, the lack of a mechanism to combine certain features or tweak parts of the image to get where I want it to be. img2img etc. is helping and I'm sure we'll eventually get there though.
A lot of them turned out as gremlins, especially if you changed the prompt to 80s fantasy movie. It's why I chose the final image, because it looked a little more original. I tried generating another one, this time with "gremlin" in the negative prompt. And it does look more demonic:
