Tried AI art for my D&D campaign and it actually worked better than I thought

I was super skeptical about using Midjourney for character portraits, but after spending 3 hours trying to draw my tiefling warlock myself and failing, I ran a few prompts and got something that actually matched my mental image. Does anyone else find AI handles fantasy races better than human faces, or is that just my bad prompting?

Six nipples, that's brutal. I feel that bard struggle deep in my soul, getting a human face right is honestly way harder than it should be. I had the same problem where my dwarf fighter kept coming out looking like a angry toddler with a beard, took me like 20 prompts to get one that didn't look cursed. The alien nipple thing makes me laugh though, at least my dwarf had the right number of fingers, even if the face was completely wrong.

Started off with three fingers on one hand and a belly full of alien nipples myself, weirdest prompt error I ever got.

My buddy Dave tried this exact thing for his halfling druid last month and it came out looking like a garden gnome that hit the gym too hard. The hands were all messed up too, three fingers on one hand and five on the other (which actually worked for the character, weirdly enough). He spent like two hours tweaking prompts to get a normal looking human bard and gave up after it kept giving his character six nipples.
