A new method of depicting two different characters

This time I decided to make the task more difficult for myself and create an image of two different characters completely from scratch. And today I'm going to tell you how I did it.

The first and very important thing is to generate the characters individually so that they stand sideways, for the feeling that the three of you are standing in a circle while talking, so we use the token "(side:0.3)" so that the characters are not completely sideways, but also not exactly as on the passport.

Great, the next step is to make masks. We will make masks using ControlNet Lineart. I chose Lineart because we need common features, we don't need all the details of the original, because we will change them.

We got the masks, it's time to combine them. I do this in Photoshop, remove unnecessary lines of light to the left of Amelia and mirror Olivia's mask so that they are not turned to one side.

Great, we use this mask with the prompta of our heroines and against the background of the autumn forest.

Prompt: illustration, cartoon, soothing tones, calm colors, standing, autumn, forest

We got two Olivias. Why did this happen? And everything is very simple: in the prompt, Olivia is above Amelia, and that's why we got two Olivias. Now we need to inpaint the characters one by one to give them the right appearance and get rid of the strange clothes.

Let's start with Amelia, highlight her completely and make sure that she definitely becomes a blonde, look at the shape of her face and clothes.

When I get what I need, I do one more inpaint for the face, so that the quality is even better.

Moving on to Olivia. Since she is originally Olivia, denoise strength will be lower. First, we change it completely, look at the clothes, the shape of the face and the details of the hair.

Now everything is fine except the face, inpaint it separately.

There are eyes left, they are too big and uneven, we fix that too.

The final version.
