Wow! Amazing work! I can't believe how awesome this came out!

panos

It kind of looks like that! 😄

CaylaCatz

that should work or at least help. sometimes gpt2 gets scrambly in the background when you say keep the background but you want to add more chracters. If that happens, use dirty_biker's fix from his blog. It doesn't cure the problem but it does help.

panos

Thanx Cayla!! It took a LOT of time and tries and re-tries! Multi-character truly tests rhe lmits of the model. I think I wil wxercise even more control on this: Describe the all the panels etc. See what that will get me.

panos

Thank you very much! Yes I've seen it and started to use it. I'm making an image to post using his instructions right now. Wait for my posts in a few minutes (I have a feeling you'll like!! 😉)

panos

Thank you VERY much, Bobbie! Truth is it took a lot of tries - and still there are faults in the images, But, yes, the whole turned out good! Comic-strips are my current mania! 😄

TheBard

Great story and pictures 👏👏👏 ... have you seen the blog of Dirty Biker about how to fix the sometimes gritty textures from GPT 2 ? (see also my comment below the blog) https://budgetpixel.com/blog/fix-for-a-broken-gpt-image-2

Bobbie

Well, you have a good start on it then. Does it look like Dirty Biker is pointing his gun at the back of Anatoly's head?

Bobbie

Wow! This is an amazing comic strip. I'm blown away by how well it turned out. I wish I could like it more than once. 😍

Amalia is certainly worth a few excruciating rounds on the Ferris wheel! Suffer now, don't become meat later :)
