Curious

[Made in Art Set]
A simple stick figure drawing with a large round head and a large pair of glasses. The figure has a neutral expression and is holding flask with bubbling red liquid. There is a pocket on the figure's front, with pens sticking out.

My 11yo was using Midjourney for character design concepts and storyboard designs on an art/game project he explores from time to time. He got close to what he wanted.

Then I got involved and messed things up...But I did get these fun characters in the process, so that's a win!
A highly detailed 3D-rendered image of a character resembling an elderly man with large, round glasses and a shock of white hair. He wears a mustard-yellow jacket, a red-and-black striped scarf, and a grey sweater. The character, who has a thoughtful and slightly bemused expression, appears to be in a room filled with books and artifacts, suggesting a setting of an intellectual or scholar. A 3D-rendered character wearing a hat and cloak with a skull emblem at the neck. The character has exaggerated features, with wide, bulging eyes, prominent pointed ears, and a wide, toothy grimace. This fantastical creature has a wild and startled expression, set against a background blurred with warm tones.

Purple Monsters made in Midjourney, turned into comic panels. They're just trying to do their job...

Tip for helping generative AI image algorithms get out of the way a bit: Use unusual reference images and turn the image weighting up a bit.
A piece of tree bark resting on top of a yellow ball. An AI image depicting a large, textured brown area occupying most of the right side against a soft pink sky background. Below, a calm blue sea stretches to the left with two small figures wearing yellow on the shore, suggesting a vast scale. An abstract AI image showcasing a textured central mass with dark brown and black tones on the left side. The background features streaks of grey suggesting rain, with a warm glow of orange and pink hues on the right that might indicate a setting sun reflecting on a body of water.
