An unexpected supernatural occurrence of a sexual nature derails Tails's plans for the day. He's always wondered what it was like to have the kind of equipment the girls have, so of course he has to take this opportunity to try it out. Figuring out why it happened can wait, (but not for too long, of course. Science calls.)


Here's some interesting stuff that happened while I was making this:
I created the layout in GIMP, filling out each panel one at a time with inpainting. Stable diffusion will generally respect the borders, (although you can see some spots where this was not the case.) I figured including a bit of the other panels would help with cohesion, but strangely this seemed to have the opposite effect, causing Tails to become some sort of not-Tails. It turned out to be generally better just not to inform it that it's supposed to be a comic at all. This was a bit of a problem in the last panel, where it would keep trying to fill out a rectangular space before the panel border would fade in and cut it off, screwing up the composition.

I learned that what WebUI's Only Masked inpaint setting actually does is not, in fact, generate at the same size as the canvas, but will actually upscale the crop to the same size as the "Resize to" section. This explains why it makes higher quality generations, and also why sometimes it will generate little miniature characters instead of filling in from context. It thinks it's a full-size canvas.

Also, the middle panel was difficult to generate because of the unusual perspective. I even took the closest image I could find to the perspective I wanted, tweaked it in GIMP to more closely match tails and the pose, but the AI had other ideas when it came time for it to clean it up. Ultimately, I managed to fix this by [i]flipping the entire comic upside down,[/i] as that perspective, I believed, would be much better represented in the dataset. The fact that it instantly did about 5x better confirms this.

Still wish I didn't have to fight stable diffusion so much, but since the most unique and interesting ideas are, by nature, underrepresented, there's not much I can do about that other than to brute-force it with fancy techniques like this.
