If there's a "Make Art" button, I sure haven't found it yet. Nope, not even in Stable Diffusion. Because I don't just type half a dozen words, invoke some Very Famous Artist, click "Generate" and presto! instant masterpiece. Nope, instead I take as much thought on composition, lighting, props and the like as I ever did in Poser or even back when I was using paper, pen and ink or canvas, paint and brush. Can take me hours to write a prompt I'm satisfied with enough to let the AI run. Days or even longer, depending on how much adjusting I do, before I consider an AI render worthy of investing more time and effort on until it's as close as possible to the image I have in mind. Sure, I've gotten good enough results in mere minutes like so many other AI users out there are churning out. Could probably have posted dozens every single day here when it was allowed and if I'd a mind to, but you see, I have this little problem. I just can't settle for plain "good enough."
And that, my dear friends, is why I have been doing AI art all wrong. ;-)
