Hu, actually I never tried just the face, I needed at least the upper torso and preferably the full figure.
Anyway, I spent a few hours today toying with that generator (I previously used mostly this). A very simple prompt like “An elf made out of green metal” can produce a somewhat okay result, but the elf will be either naked or dressed head to toe in green. You can try to add more bits to the prompt in a controlled manner: hair color/hairstyle, outfit/dress color, and the like, but the more details you add, the more the model is prone to forget some of them, and the first to be forgotten is often the most important (being made of green metal).
To be clear, the success rate is not 0%. I was eventually able to obtain an image kinda resembling what I wanted, but I had to sit through >200 bad images and it definitely wasn’t an easy task. For these kind of things, we are totally not at the point where image generation “just works” (if you instead need a generic fantasy elf, sure, then it just works on the first try).
SDXL gives me something like this. But I don’t know, not what you had in mind?
I used this hugging face space: https://huggingface.co/spaces/google/sdxl
And a prompt roughly: An elven face made out of green metal—dungeons and dragons, fantasy, awesome lighting
