I've never used a build process like this before and I doubt I'll ever do it again. This started as an Ideogram 4 piece I made on another site that I uploaded here and edited with prompt to edit. But then I used GPT Image to make another version of it, did prompt to edit on that and used multi-image fusion to port traits from the GPT Image version to the original, yielding this.
I consider this piece one of my best dragons; sadly, it can't be used in daily challenges because an upload was used as a source image. But I hope it'll succeed somewhere.
EDIT: This has performed well below my expectations in every challenge I've used it in so far, but it somehow got to 25 likes.
