A few examples of creating variations of essentially the same image in txt2img with openpose. Img2img can be vary useful but for this scenario txt2img is much more capable imo. I leave most settings and prompt (composition, character and pose) the same and only change the context, weather, scenery and outfit. I also switch checkpoint model and upscaler for hiresfix.
I "borrowed" the trenchcoat lady by the eminent
Thalies. But since the prompt wasn't included I whipped up a prompt myself.

The prompt and data is included in each png file. Just load it in png info, then send it to txt2img etc.

A few tips:
- Keep the prompt simple and don't use the shotgun approach by adding a ton of tags and phrases without reason.
Don't add too many loras and/or Ti's. Be methodical and only add one element at the time otherwise you don't know what effects what.
- Don't copy the prompt practices you find on civitai etc.
People there doesn't know what they are doing most of the time and you see a lot of shot gunning and throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks.
The images there are of course hand picked and is not at all representative of their workflow or process.
- Don't keep banging your head against the wall.
I very rarely do batches. If you don't get the result you want within a few tries with prompt adjustments etc, then switch checkpoint model. Don't try to force it to do something it has not been trained to do.
The same goes for issues with the eyes etc. Either try a different ckpt or simply fix it after with inpainting etc.
You could of course use an extention like after detailer etc to give SD a helping hand.
