Status Update (Patreon)

Sorry for the relatively long period of silence when I've been typically pushing out updates at a rapid pace.

I had a bit of a hyperfocus on figuring out how to do the Visual Novel images and reproducible characters. I think I've managed to kick out of that and will be able to get back in the flow again very soon (thinking tomorrow night - tonight's burned)

On the upside - I did manage to figure out two ways to create pretty reproducible characters (although one needs some tweaking):

• Honey Select 2 paired with matching prompts makes for very reproducible characters - plus I get a series of builtin poses all set... at an appropriate denoise level (0.35 - 0.45 if I recall right) I lose the fact that it was Honey Select and RevAnimated shines
• Creating a series of images of the same character in different poses/turns using openpose - and then when that succeeds in creating a good item - use that as a reference ControlNet when creating your new scene. It also provides a useful cut-out head to paste in for inpainting if it happens not to get what you want.

This method also works pretty good for keeping consistent image for expansion sequences.

And ... for fun since there were some images in the sequence building that did turn out cute and aren't any bit of a secret currently...
