Meanwhile, I’ve made my first significant style discovery in a while. I was trying some of the listed modifiers that I hadn’t before, and getting some nice results with “dendritic”, and thought about how some people are phobic about dendrites. I then thought about how some are phobic about lots of holes. “Trypophobia” turns out to be a strong mod. Makes interesting abstracts, especially when blended with “dendritic”.
It is interesting how changing the artist mods can completely change how stars are depicted. Mostly they are shown as bright points or bright blobs, but, for instance, “child’s drawing” got a five-pointed star
Thought about (and why did it take so long) trying for a night sky with a comet. I rate it as mostly unsuccessful. Got one image that was a fairly good comet, but others were more like fireworks or aurora. And one had a Crystaline Entity.
OK, I had to try:
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds | Watercolor | Child’s drawing https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/7oRyXTr3H9iBDdu2N4o7
I think that might be Ms. van Pelt. I suppose it was going to end up being either her, or an Australopithecus.
Last month I had a “yokai parade” prompt that was producing images that looked to me like products on the shelves of some alien store (possibly an alien sex shop). I stacked three of them together like shelves.
Tonight I decided to make a few more, but for whatever reason the prompt was no longer making similar images. So I used the original images as start images. I took it as an opportunity to play with the new start image weight and noise sliders.
The “start image weight” slider doesn’t seem to have much effect at all, whether at 10 percent or 90 percent. The big difference is in how much noise you use.
Is there a specific term for the style of portrait popular in the 1970s/1980s that has a face at one angle and a much smaller photo of the face at a different angle faded into the upper right or left side? I want to try that as a prompt.
Unrelated to the double picture, I tried “glamor shots” today. If anything, images were even more chaotic than normal. (I was hoping for an alternative to “wanted poster” for full face shots, which works well enough but tends to add face and neck tattoos.)
