I really like how this came out, I didn’t originally want the fire but the AI kept adding it with the Tanuki keyword so I leaned into it. It took a while to get though, it kept trying to make the Tanuki a horse and getting the fairy to ride it without it turning lewd or just ignoring the prompt was a pain. Anyone have any tips on that? anyways, heres a few more i liked.

What model did you use? I know Midjourney can be incredibly stubborn in certain things. It associates certain key words with themes. Like seals and water or, in your case, tanuki’s and fire. The worst one I had was every time I tried to get someone ride a giant insect, the insect would be some form of motorcycle :|
Best I could do was the use of negative prompts or to go with the flow.
This was nightmareshaper model. I had the motorcycle issue too before i switched to mammals. I tried to get the fairy to ride slugs, snails, beetles, dragonflies, and they all turned to motorcycles. Trying different mammals at least morphed them into some kind of horse like creature. I found using the word “riding” made it worse so i switched it up to “traveling astride” and got better results.
So it’s the word riding that’s causing this motorcycle obsession? Wow, that would make it really difficult to find a proper replacement.
I’ll try your recommendation, thanks for sharing!
edit: it worked!
Awesome! Glad it worked for you. The choice of words for sure has a huge impact on the output. Sometimes I’ll just put my prompt into GPT and tell it to rewrite everything including parentheses and weights if I’m having issues getting the wrong result over and over.
Thanks for that, I’ve learned a lot of new things :)
