Depiction of Hare Krishna devotees

Hi there,

 

 I find myself arguing with Veo 3.1 about the traditional devotional tilak markings on the foreheads of Hare Krishna devotees.  Sometimes it will let me put simple two line gold tilak, but often it will insist on putting red markings, even if I specifically tell it not to, repeatedly hahaha.  It seems minor, but it's an important detail for Hare Krishnas and for Hindus more broadly, because these markings denote different religious beliefs, etc.

Hey @nitaimedia 

 

Not sure if you have taken this approach:
When you have an image that you would like Firefly or other models to follow provide that particular image as a style reference and move the slider to determine what gives you the best results. 

**Note** Negative prompts often give. you what you don't want. Ask specifically for example "the gold tilak" with a style reference. Firefly Model 4 gives you the optiont to add a style reference and composition reference as well as 4 images to choose from; whereas, Firefly Model 5 gives you one choice

This was without a style reference image.
