Nodding along hard, I've seen the same thing with annuals sagging like they're trying to melt into a puddle.

Oh man that apron string thing is hilarious and also EXACTLY the kind of thing that happens when you first try this. I remember my first week I cut myself three times on the same finger because I was gripping the knife way too tight out of nerves. What really clicked for me was watching some old youtube videos of butchers from the 60s and 70s where they break down whole carcasses with just a knife and a steel. It sounds dumb but I literally practiced the motions on air for like 20 minutes every night while watching tv. Just the arm movements and the pivots. That muscle memory stuff is REAL and once it kicks in you dont even think about it. Now I swear my knife feels more like an extension of my hand than the bandsaw ever did.

Wow @dylan_brown30, you're telling me people might just be fooling themselves? That's wild.

Try testing short prompts with just nouns and one action word, it works like magic for landscapes.

And that's exactly what I've been saying for years. I had a director in community theater who pulled the same thing with a cheesy melodrama, and the audience ate it up like it was high art.
