[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.
This counts among my favorite images, started from a 512x768 close shot that I expanded to be wider. (And taller–the original had no feet.)
95% of the models on Civitai were developed for the same (cough) general purpose so, yes, they tend to be hornier than the stock SD 1.4/1.5/2.x models
Today I was watching something and they had a close-up of a man’s face as he talked and I caught myself examining his irises and pupils to see how well they were drawn…
AI infilling/outfilling coming soon to Photoshop.
Yeah, I have the full Adobe subscription, and we’re already seeing all kinds of AI tools showing up in various products.
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%):
Starscape (top 10%):
Snails (top 5%):
Those are awesome! Nice work.
Yeah, great stuff. I didn’t know snails was ever a challenge. I’ve done lots of snail-related stuff.
No spiral in the snail’s shell. Total fail.
(Just kidding. It looks great. A spiral would be better, though…)
Yeah, I noticed that too. Slipped one past them.
Don’t have to be a snail to have a spiral…
I’m surprised to see that SDXL is at this point considered only 50% done. I knew it was beta, but not that beta.
Was “Julia” part of your prompt for that, or maybe “fractal”?
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:
The finishing work was done at Playground, though (don’t remember if I ever posted this one here)
And this one (that reminds me of the sloths in Zootopia) was created entirely at Playground, I think.
I see that Night Cafe has finally stopped trying to sell their site as an “NFT creator”!
These are pretty neat:
These are working QR codes. The creator used a modified version of Stable Diffusion and some other steps to generate them.
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/. It has dozens of Stable Diffusion models to run for free.
