So much to be amazed by, that's for sure. Have yet to try armoured space marine-type renders, I can only hope to achieve results half as good. Experiment, practice and patience, methinks be the key.
@lenord -- does MidJourney throw a wobbly when you prompt for weapons and armies and the like? Watched a video on Adobe's Firefly/Generative fill in Photoshop and it is net-nannied up the wazoo. At one point the guy was adding some things like extra dishes and food on a table. Went very well indeed ... until he tried adding a knife to cut the bread he'd just placed and up pops a violation of service warning along the lines of "violent imagery is forbidden". Had no trouble giving him a fork, though, guess it never heard of anyone being stabbed with one of those. Sure can't butter your bread with it, though.
And needless to say, it is 100 -- no, 1000 -- percent useless for anybody doing fanart. Not that I expected any different according to what I've read about how it's been trained, but I'm wondering if it might get fussy when asked to extend backgrounds and such if it recognizes what it thinks is copyright IP or a celebrity likeness. Not much good if it keeps refusing to work or gives you worse results than you'd expect from the supposedly top photo editing software in the world.
And, finally, a progress report on what I'm (temporarily) calling Purple Pride:

Swapped out both room and chair. This one I like better but I am still not fond of that wallpaper. Tried to match the lighting as closely as possible, not sure how well I've achieved that. The room prompt uses "volumetric sunlight" while the figure prompt has "soft lighting". I am happy with the white chair, the window and the floor. Still much to be done, ain't no way this is "magic" or "lazy" or whatever else the anti-AI art faction wants to dismiss it as. If it were, I'd be ever so much faster. And better. As it is, I'm working just as much as with Daz/Poser/etc. and applying things I've learned there to this newfangled method. Not to mention learning new stuff every day.
ABSOLUTELY THE LAST WORD: Photoshop Generative Fill Is Officially Out Of Control
