Found a trick to stop AI from melting faces together

Last week I was trying to make a prompt for a giraffe wearing a tuxedo and every face came out like melted wax. I started adding 'sharp edges' and 'distinct facial features' to the prompt and it fixed the mess almost every time. Anyone else fight with facial blending in their mashups?

Honestly, I'm not sure why everyone gets so worked up about a little face melting. I've been messing with these image generators since they first came out and sometimes you just get a bad batch of faces. If you're making art for a gallery opening, sure, worry about every single pixel. But most of us are just goofing around making a giraffe in a tuxedo for fun. Throw in "distinct facial features" and call it a day. The jagged artifacts wilson.sam mentioned are worse than a little mushiness if you ask me.

Yeah the "distinct facial features" trick usually helps a bit... but I've noticed it also sometimes makes the face look too sharp in a weird way, like they've been airbrushed by a robot.

I have to push back on "sharp edges" though. I think the problem is more about contrast and lighting rather than edges, and adding sharp edges often gives me weird jagged artifacts instead of fixing the face.
