The first book series I loved was The Cloakmaster Cycle set in the D&D world of Spelljammer. This was made while thinking of the half man half hippo Gamji.
That definitely helps! Thanks for writing it up, highly appreciate it. I didn't even know repeating negative prompts had an effect haha. I just started with screwing around with sdxl, and made some very basic stuff, but I've yet to try changing it up with inpainting. But the img2img trick, I'm definitely gonna try. Thanks again!
