lol @rhol: How does that song line go again? Oh yeah, "You took the words right out of my mouth!" It is indeed a perfect Eeyore situation.
Winnie looks like on his way to a birthday party, what with that balloon and the confetti/whatever. Or maybe he's off to try and cheer up poor ol' Eeyore after his very bad rainy day.
With regards to "Purple", what I've posted is actually being done in Photoshop using the base render which I've ripped apart to replace the ugly old walls and the blue fuzzy thing that he was sitting on. Would be much simpler if I could do all the editing in Stable Diffusion but my graphics card just meets the bare minimum to run an older version, so things like image2image and upscaling and outpainting are pretty much a no-go unless that situation changes. I do know you can use it on google collab if not enough local horsepower but I'm not sure how to do that or what their TOS and allowed/not allowed boundaries are. Besides not using the service for anything blatantly illegal, of course. Some services are not fan art friendly, in addition to being PG-rated only.
Long story short, I gotta do most changes and/or complicated pieces the old fashioned way. Tried a bunch of different chairs, all nicely rendered then upscaled online and imported into the main .psd file. They aren't bad, and yes, I have gotten closer, but still not it. What I have done, as suggested, is move Watson closer to the edge/right -- can NOT believe I'd forgotten about the Rule of Thirds. Doh! ::smacks head:: Much better that way for sure.
Also may be better having just the one chair in the background. After all, whatever he was sitting on was barely noticeable to begin with.
