Are those ears big for her race, just normal, or smaller than normal?
And if they are bigger, did she get picked on in school?
I will ask her. 😋

Prompts are your friends. Don't trust Krea to auto-generate them.
Thank you 🙂. I have played with them quite a lot. What I meant was that I seem to have exhausted my imagination for prompts for a bit. After several hours (and I had fun, mind you XD), nothing I did seemed to offer any kind of meaningful improvement.
What I HAVE noticed is that the style of art one elects to choose seems to alter the results significantly (as it should) but I was not aware of the style thing at first. I went with default. Then I noticed it and made changes.
I would ask you whether you have noticed the AI Strength and Resemblance getting better or worse as they're increased or decreased? That is, put more simply, where do you feel you get the best results. You and P2 seem to generate good results. I have followed your character generation with some interest for a bit now and I do wonder how you do it. I am aware of the prompts, but what else do you do?
Thank you for your time 😊. -
Strangely, some work well, and some do not. This one has pleased me.

At this point, I believe I have gone as far as I can today until I can think of new ways to describe what I want produced. These preceded those from above. Not sure if any of them are good, or which are better. I mean, they're not terrible, but I need to work on this if I am going to get the desired results.

I cannot seem to do backgrounds well as Krimson can. The above is the result of literal hours of loading files into Krea and continually adjusting the prompts to achieve better results. My opinions on it are...mixed.

Malibu pulls up and I step out.
Sometimes you have to be honest with people. You don't tell a person who cant sing that they sound great because they try out for American Idol and make themselves and everyone around them look like fools. Dont laugh at jokes that are not funny and dont say they are funny because getting hit by a bottle or three at an open mike night hurts more than the truth. Just because a persons parents said to their child that they had talent doesn't mean you do; parents are supposed to say that until it becomes delusion.
To the OP here, I am not saying you don't have talent, nor am I saying the person who made the music doesn't have talent. Many people in this post have tried their best to put a positive spin on things; be impressed by powershell skills and such. Or giving you tips on how to improve the work.
But the bottom line is that the video isn't good and the music is mediocre at best. To say otherwise is feeding delusion instead of improvement; mediocrity shouldn't be rewarded. To many people take silence to be acceptance or approval because too many people chose not to speak for whatever reason. Constructive and even negative commentary does not equate to mean spirited.
Gets back in the Malibu and drives away
I start with this simple concept: Could I do that? That's the baseline.
Things I cannot do because I lack training or aptitude:
- code
- overlay music onto a video
- compose music
- with simple play manage to make masterminds look fun (I hate the class on principle...pets, I do not like pet classes (it's a play style thing))
Gabrilen managed to do all four. So, good effort as far as I am concerned. What's more, I am less opposed to playing a mastermind now. Probably won't, but if someone asked me to do it as a project for a day, the answer is not now an outright, "no!"
Were the video were submitted as a professional grade product, then I would agree with you. But a simple video for fun, posted to an obscure forum? I do not think it requires the level of 'constructive' criticism that it has garnered here.
edit:
Okay, some of the comments were pretty okay. I am not a fan of participation trophies either. I simply mean that harsh criticism is not necessary here. Again, most were not harsh. My attention span is rather short. So, I watched a minute here, skipped ahead, watched a minute there....skipped ahead...and like that.
I don't have strong feelings about it. It was cute...that's it. Moving on.

Mass Effect, Warhammer II, and Warhammer III have given me the most for my money.
Any number of games qualify for least.

...the game is mostly pretty easy as it is (although that will change over time as more NPC groups get revamped).
/sigh
We do not need more revamps.

On Petless MM's...
If I play League of Legends and one of my teammates doesn't buy items I can report them and they'll literally get their account suspended for griefing/trolling the game. They're not playing the game as intended and ruining the experience for everyone else.
If you play Mercy in Overwatch as the only team healer and you never use heals, you'll probably end up with a game suspension after a while too (Blizz is generally more lenient on what is and what isn't trolling) but 'refusing to play your assigned role' is a punishable offence in most team-based games.
If you're playing a Petless MM and joining PUG's you're doing the same thing and while it's not a competitive game (e.g. PVP) you're degrading the experience for the rest of your team, basically trolling. If you do it solo more power to you, but joining groups as a petless MM is just cringe.That is a bit sanctimonious. Simply don't team with those MMs. Solved. Again, I am not sure we get to tell people how to play. If they're not actively sabotaging my fun, I generally don't care what people on my teams do.
As for bad pugs...I cannot remember the last time I had a bad experience. Relax...enjoy the game.

If I could have Total Focus x 2, I would, and it would be six slotted both times.

Only at 50. Only if I am REALLY satisfied with the mids result on test server. No expense spared.

Energy/Energy/Psionic Sentinel. I like her. Damage is less than hoped, but she's still fun. Very durable.

Conversationally speaking; I could see the Devs setting up a PVP server...for all of maybe a week before it was overcome by rolling sage brush and declared a ghost town and shut down again.
I do believe the zones set up for such battles already are more than sufficient for those so inclined. Only reason I've ever visited said zones is simply due to my enjoying exploring new places...not for any desire to compete with others over who can create the most face plants.
Your speculation is as close to fact as can be without actually putting it to the test, imo. I like this game...a lot. I play this game...a lot. I play PvP in other mmos, but not this one.

Atlas park mission painting arc (whichever one that is) until level five. Then to KR and radio missions until level 40. At 40 I start Tina's missions to get Anti-Matter for PJ, and then other three accolades (AM, TFC, FFR). Once that is finished, then I finish with radios to 50. I don't particularly care for the story in the game, and I don't like zone hopping required of story arcs. So radios it is. I am in no particular rush.

I don't know how to word this without upsetting anyone/everyone or tempting some troublesome retort to my views in an attempt to nullify them. But it's like this....
....why join a team if you don't wish to play in one?
I have any number of characters who can solo TF's/SF's/Arcs etc and when I want to solo I won't play in a team. Contrary to that in this pretty easy game, we still have the 'glory seeker' - especially now with the large new influx due to our legitimacy. The glory seeker wishes to be on your team whilst not play as a team, even in a 'kill all'. They would rather away to the final objective as the rest of the team (up to 7 players) are transformed into the soloists' sweeping brush for 'those pesky required foes' thereby depriving our new influx from learning the game and its intricacies.
It only serves to show to a new player that once you you are fully slotted you can ignore your team mates and just take off to show off how 'GRAND' you are at the game with your 'ace' powers and enhancements.
STOP - solo the TF/SF if you want to, nobody cares and more power to you, but if you join a team play as a team.
A number of people (one blaster in particular) often join my teams and then go off and do whatever. The one blaster mostly does very well. Other times he dies and that's his problem. If he caused my team to wipe then, and only then, I would take issue with it. Until such point I don't see it as my responsibility or right to tell others how to play...and I always invite him when he messages me because he's very good. Sure, I'd like him to play with us and chat a bit rather than go off on his own, but ultimately he's not doing us harm so I don't care. On my teams I don't care whether people door sit or not either. I am only likely to remove people from groups (with reasonable warning) if they do either of the following:
- cause me to wait (minutes - plural) before I can select next mission
- DELIBERATELY cause team wipes or through egregious incompetence cause us to wipe (everyone makes mistakes...so I am pretty patient with this)
After hundreds to thousands of hours of play, I have neither asked nor removed anyone from my teams.

To be fair, and it’s not for everyone mind you but….
It’s 20+ years later and I -immensely- enjoyed being able to herd an entire map, pull them all to a dumpster, Ice Patch + Burn and maybe a little buddy pocket Kin would jump in to help out.
Would I have done that forever? I mean, I did do it for months, maybe more than a year, i don’t really remember. And the nerfs bothered me a bunch…but I’m still here!
Part of the real PVP of any MMO was always Players vs. The Devs. They’d code a nerf, we’d compensate. They’d code another, we’d exploit. On an on until some Dev gets pissed that you aren’t playing the game the way they intended and they ban your accounts. I actually had that happen to one of my three accounts (Yes I was one of the monkey exploiters if you remember that time period). But I kept two paid accounts. And…20+ years later…I’m still here. Am I reformed? Nope…I just adapted. There’s some stuff I really disliked but not enough to make me rage quit. Others….they rage quit.
At first, ED and then GDN and then all the fury directed at AE really pissed me off. And IO’s were confusing as hell to me originally. Until I realized IO’s were kinda the Dev’s way of saying “You can have SOME nice things…but you have to work for them.”
Regardless, never underestimate what defines “fun” for someone else versus yourself. There are many who would still be here even with “City of Blasters” or “City of Regen Scrappers” were the meta. Heck, the memories I have of perma-MOG builds and literally HERDS of flaming monkeys are what kept me coming here all these years. Yes, they are but memories…but memories make nostalgia and that makes for pleasant gaming.
After all…why do so many of us still play retro games with craptacular graphics? Because its a pleasant pastime. So was herding and burning once upon a time in Paragon City.
CometCometh, I quit when gdn hit. But, I am here now, due in large part to the Homecoming team. The Homecoming team did a good job and introduced a lot of quality-of-life features (and at least a few buffs that I know about) that make the game even more enjoyable. Give it a try.
Whatever your choice, best wishes.

I always appreciate people taking the time to flesh out their characters in this fashion. This is about the extent of my RP...but I do wish there was more room to write the story I have for mine.
Thank you for posting them.
