It takes too long to iterate on a character design.

For more explanation: I've been playing around with stable diffusion on my laptop recently; I have a gtx 4070 with 8GB dedicated VRAM so it's not nothing.

The main problem I have is that it takes a lot of iteration on a prompt to get what I want, at lower resolution and sampling steps, before I know that I'll get roughly what I want.

I tried making a character in Eggnog, and before I could be sure what I was getting, it told me it'd take 15-20 minutes to be ready. I worry that this will just make me wait a long time for a character that isn't what I want, and starting again too many times will put me off.

The iteration and feedback loop needs to be tighter in my opinion, or people will get unsatisfactory results and be unwilling to go back and fine tune.

Thanks, this is helpful feedback. We're definitely frustrated with how long it takes to load a character. We'll see what we can do to give a better sense of what the character will look like before the training job kicks off. We should be able to show some intermediate results.
