How to do good AI work?

Is here someone who knows how to do good AI work?
I am of course talking about anime fat art, any tips?
My pics are ok but I think there are still a lot of mistakes or artefacts.

I assume that what was brought up here still applies

Spend a few hours (4-6 mayhaps) experimenting with models (I like Dreamscape meself) and negative prompts and stylistic universal prompts (I used a weighted DAZ34 vs 30mm prompt as the core of the images in Unstable Frienemies, for example). Pay a lot of attention to weighing values (no pun intended), blending prompts, and ControlNets. If you’re going for extreme upper weights, you’ll need to learn to juggle inpainting extra width and folds and learn temperature management in order to force the model to give you that >~350lb level.

Lots, and lots, and lots of inpainting. If you have the rig for it, run locally.

Basically everything in the first two posts over on the link that Yamhead posted.

For my in-progress game, I ran a few hundred generic single person images and captured those that would be handy duplicated via the OpenPose controlnet. That’s proven handy - it’s a lot easier to, say, have the MC with her hands in her pockets if you already have an image of someone with their hands in their pockets. (Or stretching over their heads, or giving finger guns, or whatever)

Your best bet (if you have a PC good enough) is to have a local install, that way you have full control over everything. The downside is that it’s legit a skill you have to learn and practice, and not some easy cakewalk like people yell about.
Find the right models, the right LoRAs, figure out how to prompt said model and LoRA, what settings to use, how to inpaint, find all the good plugins, practice various techniques, use textual inversions, it all takes work. I got out of local AI a while back, and trying to get back in is like having to learn a whole new skill from scratch.
Ever since the XL models came out, everything just became like, 10x more complicated to use, and it doesn’t help that there’s been a rise in model makers not liking natural language in their prompting, so now every prompt just sounds like you’re coding, which I feel isn’t the right direction for AI.

Anyway, sorry for going off-tangent.
I guess one question is that I wonder what your setup is in the first place, as you DO seem to be genning AI art right now, but you didn’t say how.
My usual suggestion is “if you’re having issues, try another model”, anyway.
