gonna try to get this shit working now, Google and Chatgpt aren't cutting it

Detailed Analysis of Each Model for Your Setup:
1. Stable Diffusion (Your Primary Local Option)

Can it be installed on Arch Linux with a 3060? Yes, absolutely. This is the perfect use case for your hardware. The 12GB of VRAM is excellent for running modern Stable Diffusion models.

Can it achieve the style? Yes, but it requires the right model and LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation). The base Stable Diffusion model won't naturally mimic Patrick Nagel perfectly. You will need to:

Use a specialized checkpoint model fine-tuned on artistic styles. Look for models like "Anything v5", "DreamShaper", or specifically "Patrick Nagel style" models on platforms like CivitAI.

Use a Nagel-specific LoRA. A LoRA is a small file that teaches the model a specific style or character without needing a full multi-gigabyte model. Searching CivitAI for "Patrick Nagel LoRA" would be the fastest path to getting the exact style.

Your prompt engineering skills will be critical. The improved prompt I provided earlier is exactly what you would use in a Stable Diffusion UI.

How to Run it: The most user-friendly way is to install Automatic1111's Web UI or its more modern fork, ComfyUI. Both have detailed installation guides for Arch Linux, usually via Python venv and pip.

getting closer

same problems i have with all the models so far, if you just want a random image and aren't picky it's fine. if you're trying to get something very specific it turns into a nightmare trying to get the prompt just right

How prompt spamming works

Inconsistency of AI generation: Because the same text prompt can yield widely different results each time it is used, prompt spamming can produce dozens of images from a single idea. The user then selects the best image out of the batch.

we're cooking with gas now, can basically put anything in the input side of image2image to effect the text prompt, and you can set it to just keep churning them out until you find some that look okay.

we're reaching final boss "hands" territory in project Patrick Nagel elves

I figured out a Lifehack to that: Don’t call them
