Tarot cards: The Chariot
Modernized. A chariot is obviously a type of vehicle, so meet Johanna (OC) of Missed Apex Racing.
I have a pool of names for new OCs, RPG characters and similar. Out of that pool, this character looked the most like a "Johanna", hence the name.
Obviously, that statement makes no sense. It's a neural noise thing, similar to how a specific character name may anchor SD to a certain look, by mapping to a random (but each time the same) point in the latent space.
I don't usually like large-breasted characters, but this one looks better that way, contrasting her otherwise tomboyish appearance. According to Illustrious, this breast size is "medium". I suppose I don't really want to see its idea of "large".
Part of my ongoing tarot card art project.
One more major arcana to go, then on to phase 2: the 56 suit cards.
Notes
Character: WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL v13.0, with inpainting.
Car and garage: AnimePro Flux, fp8e4m3fn quant. Modules CLIP L, T5XXL fp8e4m3fn, and Flux VAE.
This image was rather technical to make. The Illustrious model family is great at rendering anime-style characters, but absolutely horrible at anything involving perspective and/or straight lines. Getting it to illustrate a GT3 race car was right out, not to mention having one in the background partially visible on both sides of the character. I tried rerolling for a while, but didn't get anything even remotely salvageable for inpainting.
The Flux model family draws race cars acceptably, but its anime characters leave a lot to be desired. I tried rendering the whole image in Flux and inpainting the character in Illustrious, but that didn't produce acceptable results, either. The seams can be a problem especially if you need to change to a shorter hairstyle, because Illustrious basically has no idea how the background behind the character should look like.
So, finally I ended up rendering the car and the garage in Flux, the character in Illustrious, and then combining the two in GIMP. Rendering the character on a simple background made it simple for the copy'n'paste step, using the Fuzzy Select tool to cut away the background.
To give some insight into the process, I'm including also the individual images in the post, in their detailed form.
The "Missed Apex Racing" text on her suit was added with Flux, manually edited in GIMP, and then back in Forge, finally touched up with Wai. All the other logos were dreamed up by Wai.
