Probably way too long, but I didn't notice. Thing was I would just run a script then look at the images a couple days later. The temptation to keep doing this with changes to prompting and models and see what happened probably wasted too much time and resulted in way too many images.
But let's say the prompt-generation was 10 seconds per prompt. I got flux generating images in 20 seconds. That would imply 2 images per minute on average, which would mean something like 12,000 minutes or 200 hours--a bit over a week.
Realistically, I would've done just fine with only 5000 images to work with--the dolphin->flux set, which I largely ended up using, had 5800 images in it. Prompt generation was 8 hours. At 20 seconds per image, image generation would be another day and a bit. So yeah, run a script and check back a couple days later, then twiddle further, would get such a project done within reasonably short order.
Amazing article, thank you for showing your process in detail! How long did it take to generate 27k images?
