That thing where the word balloon appears to be a paper floating above the speaker’s head rather than a graphic pasted on after the fact, I’ve seen that before. It’s interesting when it pops up and I bet you weren’t attempting that effect in your prompt? ---

I’m ok with the speech bubbles. I just prompt for them to be above the intended speaker, cartoon style. I’m just happy ChatGPT and Sora get the text right. I did want Cleo to be looking at one of the slaves as she yelled, however. Neither got that right. ---

I see the fingernails showing through all the time, even when the gloves are meant to be thick. It’s really annoying on my superheroine character I work on every now and then. Originally, I defined her to have gloves as part of her costume. The fingernail issue made me drop them. It’s no longer part of her character description, not in the context anywhere in the latest images I have it draw, but it still wants to add gloves to her costume. And draw them badly. ---
