My next article is going to be called "Inpainting, Basic Image Editing, and (LoRA) Training Is All You Need"
I'm pretty confident that these three tools are you need to make anything you want with AI tools. You also don't need to be any good at LoRA training, because the approach is basically just to throw some similar/reference images together in a LoRA to help guide your inpainting.
I threw together a quick sketch for fun. It didn't require LoRA training :P
Oh gosh, there's so many good options, it's hard to pick just one to finish.
