This pic was chosen by my subscribers for me to refine out of 5 candidates. 

The project took me a lot of tedious manual editing and a bit more than 11 hours (3-4 of them were waiting for the computer to generate inpainting candidates) to finish. Each screw-up I make could easily result in an additional hour of work and as you can guess I made lots of them. 

Compared to the rawgen*, the pole is now straight, the otter now has her tail in place, and her right hand has 5 fingers (4 visible + 1 implied thumb). I moved the long reddish fabric and reattached it to the bracelet. Her lace necklace now features a pink gem that - together with her captivating gaze - makes her even more gorgeous. Her entire left arm was tilted to the right. And I also fixed individual laces in her panties to make them look symmetric.

Speaking of her left hand I had a blast at inpainting it - I wanted to bring the thumb on foreground but the AI always wanted to put it behind the pole for some reason. My autistic solution to this problem was to outpaint ~150 pixels above, sketch the complete hand, rotate(!) the image 90deg clockwise (I honestly have no idea why it worked times better because it shouldn't really matter for the AI) and inpaint this region with "weightlifting, holding barbell" in prompt to get a good image of a gripping hand. After it was done I cropped the picture once again to restore the originally intended aspect ratio lmao.

The background has been completely rehauled because the old one reminded me of some office pantry. I made some sketches, img2img'ed them with the Midgard THL Hybrid model and picked the best looking one. The decision to change the background has been taken waaaaaay too late in the process (at the point where I made significant amount of fixes against the high-res image) and I had to change it after upscaling the picture to 4K. In these conditions neither isnet-general-use nor BiRefNet (my most favourite background removers for A1111) could reliably help me out so I resorted to good ol' Magic Wand tool in GIMP and DEL key on my keyboard. 

Some colour temperature adjustments also took place to make the background and foreground blend better. 

Software used: A1111, GIMP (tools: brushes, smudge, magic wand, render noise, gaussian blur, tint, free transform, exposure, colour temperature, masks, paths and many more)
Models used: Indigo Furry Mix XL 2.0 for the base, Midgard THL Hybrid combined with the former for the new background

[i]*[/i] The poll took place on Telegram and alternative versions are available there (https://t.me/oaf40_pub/990) as well, hence the "alternative at source" tag for this post. If you want to check out other pics but cannot or don't want to get on telegram - I've got you covered, just download this pic from e6ai and open it with an archiver (should work in 7-Zip on Windows, and `unzip` or `7z` on Linux). I embedded the alternative versions in their original quality as well as the rawgen of this pic so you could see the differences I explained in the post.

I hope you like the result ^^
