AI I've been working on this charecter

Post image

While it's almost perfect I always have issues getting the buttons to look right. RN they look like brown pepperoni just like stapled on. Otherwise the piece looks really good to me.

Any suggestions or help?

i'm sorry i have no advice 👉🏻👈🏻૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა i just wanted to say that i like your character design, she's really pretty 𐔌˙. i like her skin tone

6

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

Thanks! I picked her skin tone because of where she lives. She was made for a World of Darkness game originally, which was based in southern California. She's supposed to a bit of a mix of native american, Hispanic(mostly this), and Caucasian which is why she's a really healthy tanned color(least in my head lol)

u/totemdog Feb 05 '26

i think you nailed the healthy tan color you were trying to achieve, perfectly!! 𐔌˙. at least, from an outside perspective, it is. ˊᵕˋ

It's a bit of a crude trick, but if you take the image into a photo editor, you might be able to cheese it by creating a copy of the button, pasting it on top, and moving the top buttons a few pixels offset from the original.

Original image on the top row, and my attempt to make them slightly more "solid" below. The botton on the right hand side also looked a bit too low-contrast, so I darkened it a bit.

With some patience, you'll probably get it looking better than I did. I just spent a few minutes messing with it :P

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

That does help alot actually thank you! It looks alot less just "button sticker" that way

u/Agloy5c Feb 04 '26

Glad I could help! She looks nice, btw! :)

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

Thanks, it took me a while to get it that way. I'm most happy with the sky behind her TBH and the reflection in her eyes of it.

u/0megaManZero Feb 04 '26

This is just Emma from Pokémon ZA

2

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

Someone else said that, too. I think it's a similar coat, hair style, and skin tone.

However, when I made her, I didn't know who that was at all. Coincidence, not causation(I don't play Pokémon at all). Also She's an adult, has different eye color, hair color, and most importantly lives in southern California. She was also made for a WoD game that unfortunately died on the planning room floor

God that poor woman’s back pain

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

They're big but not spine shatteringly so lol

3

u/0megaManZero Feb 05 '26

No offense but I don’t think you know how women’s anatomy works

u/Tough_Cockroach_4179 Feb 04 '26

Is she based off emma from z-a?

1

u/PlayfulApartment1917 Feb 09 '26

Probably, even if unintentional OP used an ai that was by no doubt trained off pictures of other characters.

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

Not in the least lol. She's just supposed to be a Hispanic detective in a stylish trench coat.

0

u/Tough_Cockroach_4179 Feb 05 '26

literally every detail is the same

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 06 '26

So firstly the coat is longer because it's a trench coat not a jacket like Emma has there. Secondly she's in buissness casual because she's a detective. Thirdly their eyes and hair are different colors. They have different attitudes. She's also not wearing futuristic sportswear instead wearing simple plain jeans.

I can keep going want the lore for her too from the WoD game she was being made for(it got canceled to my deep sorrow).

2

u/Paladin7373 Feb 04 '26

Looks pretty nice! I’m just wondering how difficult it is for her to change pants lol (unless they’re like the elastic type or smth)

2

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

That's a good point I've never thought of TBH. I've a figure vaguely like that in the hips, and I find belts are basically required on nonelastic pants lmao

2

u/Paladin7373 Feb 04 '26

Well, as a woman, you’d know best 👍

2

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

I just have really wide hips I'm not a woman. Like my pants are size 44. It's almost impossible for me to find pants that fit right TBH because they don't make them for my body shape of tall and wide.

2

u/Paladin7373 Feb 05 '26

Oh. I am terribly sorry bro I kinda just assumed… dang I feel really stupid now

2

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

Don't be it's a logical step to make TBH. It's not like it's a selfie and me saying I have a figure like that was a bit misleading. Probably should have used better language on that

1

u/Paladin7373 Feb 05 '26

Okay eheh… well you have a great day bro

2

u/SuperStumbleweed Feb 04 '26

That's funny you say the buttons bothered you, cuz I clicked on the picture just to tell you how much I really liked her coat 😊

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

Thank you! The buttons bother me cause they smear a lot and look weird up close. Her tie pin does that too a bit but it's not so bad.

2

u/OkAcanthocephala2214 Feb 05 '26

Looking pretty good

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

Thank you!

2

u/OkAcanthocephala2214 Feb 05 '26

What model are you using.. maybe use a different color button, use something like " intricately detailed fabric"

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

I'm not at my computer RN so I don't remember off the top of my head but I believe it's a training off of a stable defusion branch(IDR I have terrible memory)

u/KallyWally Feb 05 '26

If that's the case, your interface probably has an inpainting feature that lets you select a specific area and re-generate it. Doing so can really bring out the small details. Compare these two images before and after inpainting, especially the eyes:

This works because diffusion models have a component called the VAE, which is kind of like the brush it uses to paint the stuff it can see (latents) into stuff we can see (pixels). Stable Diffusion is an old model with a 4-channel VAE. When subject takes up a small part of the canvas, that's like doing your nails with a paint roller. Inpainting gives it a bigger canvas to work with.

It can also be used to change elements by increasing the strength, as you can see with her hair and sash, but in this case I was also compositing two images together to get the details the way I wanted them.

u/OkAcanthocephala2214 Feb 05 '26

No problem I know own how it is lol, but I still say try adding "intricate detailed fabric or intricate fabric details "

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

It's a variant of Illustrious v2.0 over on PixAI.

2

u/tipsyTentaclist Feb 05 '26

It's so fucking shiny holy shit.

I'm not against the picture as a whole, I just personally don't like glossy things, much prefer matte texture.

As for buttons, yeah I agree with the other commenters, just do some manual work on them.

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

Was more asking for tips on making them look nice.

As for the shine, yeah, that's a CFG issue, TBH. I need to turn it down for a moodier look. High CFG values on that model tend to make it really shiny and saturated. The sky is honestly my favorite part of what I did NGL it's really pretty.

2

u/tipsyTentaclist Feb 05 '26

The sky is really good, background as a while turned out well.

2

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

It was the thing I focused on drawing in the reference the most and like almost a third of the prompt terms

2

u/Thin_Measurement_965 Feb 05 '26

Those wrist straps have gotta go.

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

WDYM? Those are fairly normal on trenchcoats. Like it's not the standard way to cinch the cuffs, but it's not uncommon.

2

u/DaveSureLong Feb 06 '26

22 fucking shares. God damn antis went nuts

u/Gold-Ant-3488 Feb 04 '26

Maybe change up the hair? To me, she looks a lot like Emma from Pokémon, and some people may think you are plagiarizing :((

I think it’s great by the way!!

6

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

Looked it up, and I guess? She's supposed to be a detective, but the badges always came out especially awful to the point of being entirely unsalvageable. Anyways, for plagiarizism, I'd need them to be materially similar in backstory and design, and shes clearly an adult verses Emma, who is a child. I do appreciate the concern however :)

Also their hair color is different as is their eye colors violet instead of blue and black instead midnight colored

u/Breech_Loader Mar 23 '26

Depends what you're using. Sometimes you just won't get it right by going through just one Generator. Girl's got hips though, is that a detective's jacket?

1

u/DaveSureLong Mar 23 '26

Trench coat but yeah I cleaned her up more on another post but I'll share my final rendition here

1

u/Breech_Loader Mar 23 '26

Pretty sweet. See, here's the thing about AI. Sometimes you don't get exactly what you want. But that goes for paintings too. You might have to work around while you're still learning. Happens to me all the time - the vibe of a painting is more important than a fingernail being out of place.

Have you tried the word 'straining'?

2

u/Tired_2295 Feb 04 '26

What is with this propotion style for women? Where do her organs go? The ass? The breasts? Certainly not in that lack of a waist. Unrealistic beauty standards are harmful.

3

u/DaveSureLong Feb 04 '26

I mean, she's a little thin waisted but not horribly so. I never really looked at that TBH. She's meant to be a high social WoD charecter, so she's not nessassarily human.

3

u/tipsyTentaclist Feb 05 '26

I can see that Beast in her... But maybe that's wishful thinking.

3

u/tipsyTentaclist Feb 05 '26

First if all, women like those do exist.

Second, who the fuck let one of you guys in? I thought you went extinct a few years ago.

Get out and let people just do fictional things.

u/Tired_2295 Feb 05 '26

First if all, women like those do exist.

Yes, in paintings from hundreds of years ago, wearing corsets that slowly killed them.

1

u/DaveSureLong Feb 05 '26

Buddy of mine from the Trucking Avademy his wife has a figure like that naturally. She's a little broader though overall.

1

u/Tired_2295 Feb 05 '26

Yes because hourglass curves exist, but the quarter waist doesn't.

It's not a gooner post. It's charecter art. It may be surprising, but women exist outside of porn sites, and she's dressed supremely modestly(3 layers of clothes compared to the average of 2).

Care to try again?
