Experimenting with Character referencing in Midjourney, I found myself entering a weird and wonderful world of hybrid animals and humans.

I created my character, Wayne, specifically for a Facebook group called Artvscancer. This group is where AI artists can create images specifically for use in a hospital setting. We have daily challenges and requests to create images that empower, make laugh, or delight children being treated for cancer.

In his first outing, Wayne had many questions and developed a strong interest in animals.
