Terra Incognita Reviews

this model is great if you are the type of person who enjoys working a long time on a prompt until the art finally matches your vision, it is not so good if you want prompting to be more casual, let's dive into why this is by looking at the models strengths and weaknesses, starting with strengths: 1. the model is reasonable and intelligent in how it responds, 2. it understands nuance well, 3. it can do many different styles if you ask it, 4. it's capable of making complex fantastical scenes (with hand-holding), 5. it scales uncommonly well from small resolutions to high resolutions, 6. it's versatile / seem to know at least "something" on every topic 7. the overall image quality, except for details, is great, next, let's talk weaknesses: 1. it's fine details are uncommonly noisy (embroidered patterns, buttons, laces, engraved details, surface textures, etc), 2. it struggles with getting character proportions right, 3. you need to hand-hold it a lot with detailed prompting, 4. it's stereotypical with aspect ratios, meaning it's harder to make characters with wide-screen and locations with tall-screen, 5. perspective often gets crushed into an awkward flat look, 6. backgrounds are often too realistic as compared to the style of the characters, 7. the art looks rough with low compute/steps, I would describe it as a harsh painted style lacking softness, it doesn't seem to affect final renders but it does make the process of creating prompts less enjoyable and intuitive as it's hard to see what you are going to get
