Re: the heads and necks, I can definitely see something weird with the #1 head in the timed drawings. I'll keep an eye out for that.
As for the AI img2img, there is quite a bit of control, because you have a chance to describe the lighting in text and also use the input image. I could have used flat light and shadow colors on the character and it would have generated something to match that lighting scenario.
In this case, I just used the flats with no real lighting information. The text description I've been using lately is only "cinematic lighting" and that seems to get the classic warm light, cool shadow look without even needing to put something more descriptive in the prompt. But you could specify different colored lights, rim light, backlit, etc.
Not really related, but you can also try to take a mediocre reference and see if the AI can make it more interesting. There are a lot of things I see on pinterest where I think, "That's almost an interesting reference, but not quite..." and this is maybe a helpful tool there. Like what are some options for using some reference more creatively -- what else could this reference have looked like? Just change it around a bit. That's pretty cool.
