The Woman in the Music Dress

As many of my early images came to be, this image started from a YoWorld avatar. The game had a book page dress and book page butterflies. I'm not proud of this avatar (I promise I got much better at them) but this is the avatar that inspired the image. I began my AI journey recreating images of my favorite avatars. On the site I began with, I wrote one of my first prompts (without AI describing the avatar). I decided to focus on the music notes of the pink butterfly for a music theme. The prompt was: Stunning light skin woman with black wavy hair. She is wearing a gown made of fabric that looks like aged sheet music. It has a light brown sepia tone, with black staffs and notes. The gown has an asymmetrical design with a ruched top, one ruched strap and a full skirt. She has on black heels and golden music note earrings. Around her are several stylized butterflies with wings that appear to be made of sheet music in colors that complement the dress. Background is a light teal with light noise. Swirling darker teal border. I ran it though that site's top model with a surreal filter. Among the images with the deformities that were common, I found one image I loved. When I came to BP, I wanted very much to recreate this image here. It was not easy. Multiple models attempted, advice asked and I was only moderately happy. Flux pro 1.1 gave me the one I was most happy with at the time. At the same time, @justrob saw the image, took the inspiration and ran with it in several versions. This is one of his magnificent creations. One of the variations even made an appearance on another popular site and I began to see more versions pop up. Below is one of Rob's creations. Not fully happy with mine, I put the image on the backburner for a while. I decided to dust off the prompt when GPT came around. Even my favorite trusty model of all time was doing just okay in my eyes. This was one version. After a version popped up again today, I decided this prompt needed a rewrite. I'm still not sure this is my final answer, but this is where I will let it go for the time being. Again. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.
