He does excellent work, you need to enter precise hints, he understands perfectly well what you want, as they say, what kind of input, such is the answer! I DISAGREE WITH the previous comments that he's not good enough! EXCELLENT, AMAZING, thanks to the creators and those who trained this model!
honestly, hit or miss.. and mostly miss. and when it misses, it misses HARRRRRD
One of my favorite models to use! I make a big batch of images in v8 until it says I'm creating too fast, delete the ones I don't want, then evolve the best ones to this model to make images of my characters I never would've been able to make without AI. It doesn't follow my prompts quite like v8 does but that's fine because evolving from model to model is a thing. For costing only half a credit, it's absolutely awesome! 💖
