[Not moderating] Out of curiosity, what was the prompt? Just “cowgirl”? ---

I don’t remember the exact wording of the prompt, but it would have been more complex than that. I’ve been working with barnyard animals. People riding animals, people combined with animals, animals combined with animals. Pig works better than cow.

I’ve had quite the drought on placing in the top 20% or higher on Night Cafe’s challenges for a while now. SDXL really threw me for a loop. I think I was just trying to do too much with it and I kept getting very cartoony images when I was going for realistic. Mostly I work in 1.5 now, or at least I finish in 1.5. That said, with some simplified prompts, I’ve really been on fire lately. I’ve had two top 5%'s and one top 10% in the last three challenges: WIne (top 5%): [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52926474015_be7b9575da_b.jpg "NrigvJvcnTa2aMzZvLrS--1--p6wbo\_2x(1)") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/183290460@N02/52926474015/) Starscape (top 10%): [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52926088331_cbd224d6b4_b.jpg "ltMqA4wGGaiCRuOt9Nc1--1--5kvax\_2x(1)") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/183290460@N02/52926088331/) Snails (top 5%): [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52926242029_6d321e4113_b.jpg "oeAwGg3MdOm8QP5Rv8sO--1--idsnn\_2x(1)") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/183290460@N02/52926242029/) ---

No spiral in the snail’s shell. Total fail. (Just kidding. It looks great. A spiral _would_ be better, though…) ---

I’m surprised to see that SDXL is at this point considered only 50% done. I knew it was beta, but not _that_ beta.

Nope. Here is the prompt I used (basically I copied the description of the challenge and cut out all the extra words, and left in the little emojis, or whatever they are): > beautiful starscape.🌃 explore the endless possibilities of stars in the night sky.💫 a breathtaking nebula, a twinkling constellation, breathtaking Run in SDXL, by the way. ---

Today’s Night Cafe challenge is “sloths”. Often I have some awesome image fitting the challenge that really was made with Stable Diffusion, but created at Playground or in an old throw-away account so I couldn’t submit it to the challenge. This time a first version of a favorite sloth image happened to be available for submission: > **[Sloth family | full length portrait| by Dan Witz, Mark Ryden, Margaret Keane,...](https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/zvx909aVBsNLUwujb2GR)** > > AI Art Generator App. ✅ Fast ✅ Free ✅ Easy. Create amazing artworks using artificial intelligence. The finishing work was done at Playground, though (don’t remember if I ever posted this one here) [![](https://i.postimg.cc/YCxGvKjr/l-GM5-HJgb-4xbup.jpg) ](https://i.postimg.cc/YCxGvKjr/l-GM5-HJgb-4xbup.jpg) And this one (that reminds me of the sloths in _Zootopia_) was created entirely at Playground, I think.

I finally signed up for a Microsoft account so I can access Bing Create. The output is just strikingly different than other systems, even Dall-E 2. I had been seeing images of “_x_ eating contest” and they were awesomely awful. Here are some of mine (I found adding “red sauce” helps make things more interesting, such as the prompt “ghost red sauce eating contest”.)

On a different note, I’m sure some of you have already discovered this one, but check out [https://www.catbird.ai/](https://www.catbird.ai/). It has dozens of Stable Diffusion models to run for free.
