I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, and I finally got around to doing a Google image search for every name on their list of artist mods and making a brief description of their work. It might come of some use here. > **Summary** > > Alex Hirsch: Gravity Falls > Alphonse Mucha: medieval-ish illustrations > Amanda Sage: fantasy illustrations covered in threads > Ben Bocquelet: Amazing World of Gumball > Bernie Wrightson: b&w comics > Canaletto: realistic paintings of buildings > Caspar David Friedrich: portraits, landscapes > Dan Mumford: bright modern graphic art > Dan Witz: realistic tight crowd paintings > Edward Hopper: 20th century Americana > Ferdinand Knab: buildings, landscapes with moody skies > Gerald Brom: sf/fantasy graphic art > Greg Rutkowski: fantasy art > Guido Borelli: bright colorful buildings > Gustav Klimt: colorful detailed abstracts > Gustave Doré: greyscale fantasy > H.R.

Very nice one. Meanwhile, I tried one of the names from the list I posted, Dan Witz, who does creepy near-photorealistic illustrations of tightly-pack crowds. I didn’t have much hope for it (his work seemed too tightly packed for the AI to grok) but I was blown away by the results. If you ever try images with groups of people/creatures, try sticking his name in there. (Examples later after I finish digesting them.) ---

Okay, samples. The mushroom photo that I’ve used and shown here a few times? This time it bacame some sort of mushroom god rising like the great pumpkin before a crowd.

On the one hand, I’m disappointed that the output didn’t preserve details from the original, even after I cropped out much of it. [![](https://i.imgur.com/8DDemXo.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/8DDemXo.jpeg) On the other hand, it is still a great image [![](https://i.imgur.com/ShB8gOl.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/ShB8gOl.jpg) and Dracula is in it!

Speaking of noise files, I recently tried this comic panel. The details are lost, but it makes images with a pleasing aspect ratio and a nice blue tone. The trees on the two sides frame the images, or become a desk or such visible under the ends of a tattered image. Works well with landscapes.

Wow. That second one is amazing. (The “artistic” AI produces very, very different results.) ---

Okay, I was in a mood for landscapes, but I wanted to try a location that none of had posted here yet. I tried Painted Desert National Park, and it indeed knew to create something painted and deserty. But that isn’t my big discovery of the day. My big discovery was wondering about making a night scene, and simply tried “night sky” and “milky way” as modifiers. It works. (Click the album for more, night and day.)

Kinda funny, in this one (Manhattan at night) it seems to be attempting to reproduce low-light digital photo artifacts. [[Album] imgur.com ![](https://i.imgur.com/jDC2Bsl.jpeg?fb "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/a/YRIVI3p) ---

I tried the new [Google Imagen](https://gweb-research-imagen.appspot.com/paper.pdf) [site](https://gweb-research-imagen.appspot.com/) (promises a more sophisticated parser model than the one Dall-E, diffusion, etc. have been using, and therefore able to understand more complicated prompts, and also it does not work in exactly the same way—first it creates a small image and then upscales), but only cherry-picked examples and no public demo, so same as Dall-E from where we are sitting. Maybe someone will spend the $$$ to train at least a public mini version, but that is the obstacle right now for people who just want to play with these models to see how it works. You can’t run it at home (I can barely run Disco Diffusion without lowering the quality, hacking the code a bit, and waiting half an hour for each image) ---
