I actually found most of the illustrations compelling for the story.

thanks! I wrote a bit about the challenges of prompt engineering here: https://twitter.com/d_jones/status/1541873676173189120

The difficulty of prompt engineering cannot be underestimated. You have to try lots of variations and iterate heaps on the prompt. I usually generate several hundred images to pick from and evaluate based on connection to the topic, coherence + esthetic.

For many generated images, people don't have a specific target in mind and let themselves be surprised (which is fun!), but it's quite difficult to take a given topic, write a prompt and get back a coherent image that is on topic.

Is there anything out there on “what works” and doesn’t, what those challenges look like in iteration etc? It sounds like an interesting skill frankly.
