Theoretically, you might create a perfect image using only txt2img prompts. However, the reality shown, that some "post processing" is needed. E.g. to fix the amount of fingers, or replace two left legs with two right ones, or add shiny pantyhose to bare legs.
Think of LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models) as of plugins, which can help generate specific content. Not all LoRAs are compatible with all models.
Some LoRAs are made for specific models. For example, if you use a Pony model, start with Pony compatible LoRAs.

Or was it ideas like in topics to prompt an AI? In that case, backseam stockings and garter belts.
Step 1
Have an nvidia GPU, RTX 2000 or higher (highly recommended, AMD should work by now, but I can't attest to speed and capabilities and do not know which generation of cards is the minimum requirement). You could run it on your CPU, but generating a single image will take minutes instead of seconds, which will be very frustrating, especially when you're still trying to figure things out by trial and error.
Forget about training your own models unless you own a nvidia GPU with at least 16 GB or VRAM - and even that might get dicey.
It will be interesting to see what the next generation of consumer cards will bring in terms of RAM and AI capabilities.
Step 2:
Read up on the installation requiremens for InvokeAI here.
Aside from the GPU requirement above, you'll need at least 12 GB of RAM and installations of Python, Nvidia CUDA drivers and possibly some MS Visual C++ components. It's all listed in detail. All of these are basically one-click installations.
Just follow the instructions carefully and you should be good.
Once you have checked those boxes, you can download the Invoke installer, unzip it, run the .bat file and follow the instructions.
If it's confusing, I can provide some screenshots with explanations.
Step 3:
Download some checkpoint models. There are thousands. There are two go-to repositories, Huggingface and CivitAI.
If you want to do kinky stuff, I highly recommend the PonyXL checkpoint model, because it's really capable right out of the box and there are also some very good LoRas. LoRas are basically "style/content addons" that guide the checkpoint towards a certain outcome.
CivitAi has lots of example images for each checkpoint/LoRa, often with the corresponding prompt and settings, so you can gather inspiration from there. Word of warning, CivitAI hosts A LOT of NSFW content (which should be filtered by default and needs to be unlocked in your profile settings), so be prepared to find a lot of... interesting imagery. You will want to create a profile to "like" and keep track of your favourite Models and LoRas, though.
PonyXL Joschek's LoRas for PonyXL (very good bondage related LoRas, probably the best around currently) Vixion's Styles for PonyXL (a variety of art style LoRas, from cartoon to hyperrealism. You can mix these (in moderation) for interesting combinations)
Step 4:
Familiarize yourself with the InvokeAI GUI.
They have their own YouTube channel with short tutorial videos explainging both the basics and more advanced topics.
For starters, you will want to know how to install your checkpoint models via the built-in Model Manager, but you will install some basic ones while running the InvokeAI setup procedure, so you are good to go for now. Those selectable checkpoint models will not be as receptive for kinky prompts as PonyXL though.
Step 5:
Experiment, learn and have fun. Enter some phrases into the "Positive Prompt" text box, select the number of images you want to create and hit "Invoke". See what you get. Correct unwanted elements by adding them to the "Negative Prompt" text box. Use basic language skills, don't overthink it. Phrases at the start of the prompt will be weighted heavier in the outcome than those at the end of the prompt. Use synonyms to get your point across.
Well, that's cutting it short a bit, but that's enough to get you started. There's obviously a lot of nuance to it both from the technical standpoint and the "art" of prompt engineering (that sounds so pretentious, but, ah well...). There is of course a learning curve that can feel steep at times, but once you're over the initial bump, it gets a lot easier.
If there are any questions, I'll try and do my best to assist.
Open Thread
I strongly suspect this information has been shared but...
What are the maximum files sizes the site can accept as uploads?
Reason for asking is that I tried to post a .gif file that was 62Mb and it wouldn't load (flagged as exceeding maximum file size) but from memory I'm sure I've loaded larger video clips before???
Is there one limit for 'images' (jpeg, png, gif, etc) and another for 'video' (mp4, etc) and if so, what are they please?
A non- pc fetish image I created - if it's not allowed in here moderator, just remove it.
Subject of this sub-series is about beautiful Lycra swimsuit ladies about to be circumcised, "eternal orgasm denial while still being teased by the ultra sexual silky Lycra fabrics" Disclaimer WARNING: if you object to this kind of fantasy pictures/can not handle imagery of this nature, you are advised to NOT view the hidden content below:
I have always wanted to indulge in self bondage but as I get older the flexibility has gone and getting tied up is just much more difficult to be effective and by the time I have completed the tie I want out.
But I thought if I use an electronic padlock, then I could use simple cuffs and secure myself for a set time without the contortions.
I can now as long as I think about it lock myself very securely in a bed spreadeagle, standing spreadeagle, any type of standing bondage with hands to the sides wide or behind my back. The only thing I have to do is make sure if I can reach the leather cuffs, that I lock the cuffs on with small padlocks.
When I first started trying this I discovered that while the padlocks are very accurate at keeping time and unlocking they are not that secure when a lot of weight is placed on themit simply pops open.
I thought about it logically and came up with this solution.
I describe as a simple, small shackle drilled to slide over the hasp. Anything then within that shackle could be held securely while not stressing the padlock at all.
It works brilliantly and for times when you need to stretch to lock out tightly simply use this a link in the rope or chain and a standard padlock for the final click secure which is much easier to locate and lock.
