The Secret Fire — Art Gallery

Two registers of the same pipeline: broad, shareable appeal — and raw technical craft.

Mass-market appeal Technical craft
Local ComfyUI / Flux / WAN pipeline, run solo over several weeks — not a studio budget, and it shows: a mid-run engine upgrade visibly improved proportion and anatomy consistency partway through. Shown unretouched, artifacts included, because the trajectory is part of the story. Pieces with a known issue are marked below.

⚠ Early local run, pre-upgrade — the repeated children are a generative artifact (a "clone army") from that pipeline, kept as-is rather than retouched.
