More about 9: semifinal image for a bard NPC in my D&D campaign

(at some point, I give up)

So I've done a lot of editing since that last image in this sequence. More than is readily apparent, really. The first surprise was when I tried to insert my nice fine silver chain with a silver moon crescent hanging off it, and as half expected it wasn't quite what I wanted. That part I was used to, it always took a few edits to get right.

What I hadn't seen coming was every time I touched the damn necklace, another one would appear. I finally just gave up, and included a 'remove necklace' every time I did any other edits on the image. That had EVENTUALLY walked all the copper necklaces up her neck and ultimately yielded a bare neck again. But dozens of edits later, there's still a whole buncha necklaces there, and they won't go away even if you use language in your prompts I am sure the AI has no idea what to do with.

While it's overall 'good enough', still a lot of things I hope to someday learn how to improve:

1) I still can't get anything better than my crude mockup of the copper chain with a fringe of chains.

2) The skirt underneath it is still the wrong color and different material than the top, but I took the Microsoft approach and declared that a feature and moved on.

3) I can't get the charm bracelet on her left wrist to copy to the right wrist - the right wrist bracelet is doing that cursed infinite replacements things now.

4) If I were still willing to mess with it I'd do some more work on the background so the area to the left of her is more interesting and not just darkness.

5) SO many necklaces, and none of them are the one I want that was in the earlier versions. Haven't a clue how to solve that, either.

Other than that it came out all right for a couple of day's work learning how to abuse the system. I published this not because I think it is particularly good, but because I am hoping some kind soul can tell me how to overcome some of the hurdles I've run into if I put it out there. Like Blanche DuBois, all I gotta say is, "Whoever you are I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." And we know how SHE ended up, and I am low enough on sanity points after all this that seems fairly likely.
