Firefly is not following all of my prompts

[JessL77]

I just subscribed today and I'm trying to make a female half-elf with lavender eyes, in grey and white leather armor with a snowy wooded background with a black panther, in a sort of realistic fantasy style. The panther is turning out fine. But it either gives me an animated image or a very realistic photograph. Also her face keeps coming out weird and not very pretty, and she has a dumb smile, I don't want a smile I want an intense expression. And I want white braided hair, keeps giving me brown or ombre hair that is just down and flat. I have very detailed and specific prompts and I have noted things I don't want. But it's just not working. Very disappointed right now.

@JessL77 , thanks for your feedback. If you used model 3, can you try again with model 2?

[JessL77]

Thanks. I'll try that and let you know if it is better.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem with a very different design.

I want a drawing for a tattoo of a female dragon and a male snake interlaced. I tried six times (it means six credits), and none of the 24 images were even close to my expectations. The first repeated error is that both animals have dragon heads; I requested changes, redesigned, and made a new prompt, and nothing worked. The second error is with the 'interlaced' instruction; half of the drawings were only the head of the dragon or two dragons facing to the front.

I'm really frustrated. This is my first test, but I'm close to giving up. If the AI doesn't follow the prompt and doesn't give any feedback (plus Firefly still has no history), how can we design something close to our needs?

What does "interlace" mean for you? If you are expecting celtic knots happening on their own, then you are probably expecting too much. Maybe draw a structure reference?

Hi @CM_Botero,

@Monika Gause's advice will achieve the best results. The other thing to consider is if you get close or part of it, it might be easier to that the image to generative fill and work on pieces, rather than keep trying to generate the whole image over and over.

My best,

Thanks for the advice. Does it mean prompt first for the snake and later prompt to add the dragon? Could you give us an example of secuencial prompts?

[CM_Botero]

Thanks for the advice. I'm a very bad drawer. When you mentioned a 'structure reference,' does it mean a handmade drawing? I've attached a drawing I made myself. Would it be useful for Firefly?

[Monika Gause]

I would make that in higher contrast with fewer detail and then it could work. I do not think you need to include that skin texture, because than can be part of the prompt.

@CM_Botero, interesting, I see what you mean. Both heads are dragons. So, I tried cobra instead, and used “wrapped together” and got this. You might try with your composition reference and specify line art or tattoo design and see if you get any closer.
