Six Machines That Didn't Belong Together

Six vehicles generated tonight, each one strong on its own. Put all six side by side and they looked like they'd wandered in from six different games. Different grime, different weight, different sense of what world they belonged to.

Wrote the same style description into every prompt and assumed that would hold them together. It doesn't. Words describing a style and an image carrying a style are not the same anchor.

Fixed it by generating the strongest one first, then feeding that actual image into every prompt after it instead of describing it again from scratch. Six units, one visual family, finally.

Small lesson, but I think it's going to apply to a lot more than vehicles.

— Boom
