WORKFLOW:
Workflow is a bit all over the place,
I've farmed a bunch of images over the years from various sites. added gradient map (blue-black) in photoshop, that's the backgrounds.
logo is ideogram and cleaned up in an old Photoshop (fuck adobe).
flags are some ideogram graphics, cleaned up. then I added them to a jpg-to-flag site (can't remember which one, there are a few on google).
faction avatars are SD1.5, then retextured in MJ and cleaned up in Krita with interstice and Organic Sauce Model (50% strength).
Tried using chatGPT to rewrite the text, but it feels too limited. Either it's too Attic style, or too Asiatic style. so I just polished my text in an old version of ProWritingAid.
Map is the least AI'd. lots of google images of the actual planetoids. the fictional planets are built ground up in PS and JPG-to-Globe (site is gone now).
All put together in an old version of PS, but if you're starting out get Krita or Gimp. I'm just too set in my ways from decades of PS.
Love to talk workflows with you guys, and/or answer lore questions!
