Making of August arts

1) AI doesn't produce image artifacts naturally (like photo noise or jpeg compression artifacts) if there are any, they must have been introduced during learning process (I mean the training images were bad). Though AI has its own kind of artifacts, but that is for another topic.
2) Considering the first point, it's great to use some noise removal tool somewhere in the process, although where and how much, I have to figure that out. Using too much noise removal tools results in loss of fine details. But either way this must be done, otherwise you'll have grainy images
So I made Chisa art without noise removal tools. For Whisperain I used PS raw filter before and after upscaling I think. For Phrolova I used it after upscaling I think (I actually did a few variants, and heavily noise-cleaned version was very bad. Also because of that I don't remember for sure what was the end process I stuck with).
Here's the failed version with too much noise cleaning:
You can't make out anything on the background. Though that is partially because I went too hard on a variety of photo filters
That's it. Also I want to mention that for some reason improving the beach ball this time was kinda a pain in the rear
