Some things you can do to get free credits on NightCafe:

Create an account.  It's free.
Fill in your profile, including a profile picture.
Go to Challenges and rate twenty pictures on the current challenge.
Go to Explore and start liking pictures (you get credits when you like your first 10).
Also follow any users whose pictures you like (you get credits when you follow your first 5).
Publish any picture, even if you're not happy with it.  You can always unpublish it later, and so many pictures are created, it will rapidly disappear off Explore anyway.

You may be able to fix the eyes by sending the picture to this site:

https://app.baseten.co/apps/QPp4nPE/operator_views/RqgOnqV

I used that site to clean up some really messed up images.  For some reason, it insisted that everybody's eyes are brown.  I used PaintShop to copy in irises of the right color after the face was otherwise fixed.

I wonder if one problem with your picture is that the AI may not understand "plump".  Perhaps try "overweight".

I bought a bunch of credits on NightCafe, so if you want me to try out a prompt, I can.

Added:  This produced some pretty good, not heavily made-up, results:

Set the Style to Color Portrait.

(I’m not on Discord, yet, I tried once but got very confused, I should ask my teenage son to show me the ropes)

Vladimir Chopine did a YouTube video called "The absolute beginners guide to MidJourney AI. Starting with AI Art."

It tells you how to set up the Discord account and get started with MidJourney AI.

This one came out quite nicely on the second try. Although sideburns without beard on the chin is apparently unheard of (or alternatively has a name I don’t know).

If that's MidJourney, you can add --no beard.  If NightCafe, you can go to advanced settings, add a second prompt as "beard, mustache", and move the slider below to -0.5 or so.  I only recently discovered that.

AIs have extreme trouble with hands and paws.  Also ears.

Most artists I know will tell you AIs aren't the only ones that have trouble with hands and ears! :haw:

Some of the quirkier versions NightCafe (still not on Discord) produces have extra ears. Including ears in the landscape…

Sideburns without a beard are called muttonchops

I have been afraid of flooding this thread.  Do you want links to them on AO3, or the pictures themselves here?

Brilliant:emil: :emil: :emil:

lwise, I vote for posting the images themselves - although maybe limit the largest dimension to, like, 600px? The Forum will automatically delimit to 800px already.
