I only use AI for the base image, then I use Photoshop and Corel Painter.

I mess around with AI a lot to create images, and finding the right prompt is super hard. But you didn’t just nail the prompt, you also worked it with Photoshop and Corel. That’s awesome, cool artist vibes! 🫡

I agree, it definitely takes a lot of time, but it's fun and frustrating at the same time, hahaha.
