PromptI had a fun, but difficult time making it. The image was inspired by this amazing scene in the new Fallout TV show. Getting the eyes to look over there and the finger on the trigger were the most challenging parts.

This was of course followed by much upscaling and inpainting along the way.

with sd after about a hundred folds (the horrors I've seen). Somehow, i don't wonder why, it was always the man that bit the "cow". In one of the generations he even took a knife out and stabbed it 🤷

started with a simple prompt like "a cow eating an old man" and modified it along the … diffusion.

We humans aren't going down without a fight, the bovines need to earn their revenge!

I wanted to see what SD3 would do with that prompt...

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

still 6 fingers 🤦

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I've seen some good generations from others, as well as some bad ones like mine here. I think it depends a lot on the prompt and I just put in "a cow eating an old man" with nothing else.

[-] Itrytoblenderrender@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Oh, is SD3 already available?

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, but currently only via their API. The weights should be coming out sometime later. Also I've heard that SD3 is still undergoing training, so this current API version will probably be a bit different than the released weights.

Plot twist, these image aren't AI generated @M0oP0o@mander.xyz is actually sailor moon herself and she just ask sailor venus to make the photo :)

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

That must be an expensive purchase! I bet she's going to be paying back that debt for a while .

Prompt: fantasy movie still, Close-up view of a diamond on a pile of gold and a shifty thief, the thief looks greedily down at the diamond with a big smile his fingers reaching out to grab the diamond, a menacing dragon is in the background looming out of the shadows ready to eat the thief --ar 4:3 --stylize 75

This was quite fun, having three different subjects interact with each other wasn't easy. In most of them the dragon was either in the wrong place or merged with the thief into some kind of weird hybrid :)

I love it! This brought me back to my high school history class decades ago. I can hear the teachers voice going on about the Visigoths and Ostrogoths. That was probably my favorite class. Core memory unlocked!

Very nice work and write up

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Ohhh an easy one for me! I've been creating a comic using the photo mode in Starfield. And I've complemented it using Midjourney, so I've got a few.

Here's my favorite. The prompt was : a wide close up of a young female warrior in a dark grey armor, without helmet, looking straight at us, she is visibly very angry, determined, and set for vengeance against her enemies. Behind her, we see the buildings of a futuristic cyberpunk city at night.

That's the moment my character realizes her best friend has been kidnapped and she suspects its because they want to get to her. And she swears to make every single kidnapper pay.

I'm interested in hearing more about your workflow.

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

For this comic (it's my only comic...), I follow a Starfield podcast that has a Discord server, and in it they organize a weekly challenge on a particular planet. I started taking screenshots every week and when I figured I had enough for a story, I created a Prologue using Midjourney.

When I put all of it together, images, speech bubbles, I use Figma. I use ChatGPT to generate dialogues. I tell chatgpt what I want characters to say, and it suggests 5 dialogue lines every time. I pick the best one or combine different parts.

Then export it in images and upload it on DeviantArt.

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

So you upload the screenshot into MidJourney to give it a base right? Have you ever tried using img2img with Stable Diffusion?

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I did upload one screenshot until I was happy with the rendering on the character. But now Midjourney has a way to reuse previously generated characters with the parameter cref (character reference) and cw (character weight).

So you can just use an older character generation as a reference and tell Midjourney how much you want it to be exactly the same. If you put cw to 100 the character will have all the same clothes. If you set it to 50, it will be more creative, but it'll be the same face, but with different details.

I tried stable diffusion once but my computer is way too slow to generate bigger images than thumbnails. My graphic card is quite basic.

Here are some more images I generated with the same character reference.

I'm glad I got a downvote, that's how I know a struck a nerve. Meaningful, thank you.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Eh we don't count the down votes anyway. Good entry only thing wrong with your picture is the scout scope....

[-] 3volver@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

And the missing forearm between the scope and the rifle, and the other hand blends in with the rifle stock.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

Eh that's tradition.

Sibling rivalry.

Made with Comfyui. the Workflow Should be embedded in this picture (Catbox).

DetailsI´ve tried to understand regional prompting with this one, but i am only a bit less confused about it now. I was able to define a workflow which gave me roughly that what i wanted to see.

Before you adjust the masks, mute the sampler nodes. When you are satisfied with the positions of the masks, enable them again to generate a picture.

Model:

fenrisxl_V16fp16 (CivitAI)

Prompt: Its complicated because of the regional prompting

The base Prompt is:

A boy and a girl in A beautiful childs room. The boy lays flat on the floor, the girl stands menacing over him.

Regional Prompts:

Full body shot of a 15 year old boy, laying flat on the floor in painful agony

Full body shot of a 16 year old european girl, holding a pointy knife in her hand, grinning evil, threathening stance

Full body shot of a 16 year old european girl, holding a pointy knife in her hand, grinning evil, threathening stance, red hair

CFG: 8

Sampler: dpmpp_3m_sde

Scheduler: Karras

Upscaling:

I used a LDSR Upscaler for the final Image. Its extremly slow but seems to give the best results.

In the Workflow is also a Face Detailer Variant. But here is the Problem that the upscaler Applies the mix of Face expression Prompts on every Face.

Also a Iterative Upscale Variant. This one does not work at all and gives you a completly different final Picture.

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Wow this is a dark one!

I took a look at your workflow and narrowly escaped an aneurysm 😂 I've had some workflows turn into something like this as well.
I haven't tested these yet, but was recently looking for regional prompting solutions in comfy to match what's possible in a1111/forge and found these:

I'm curious if any of these could simplify things.

[-] Itrytoblenderrender@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Will definitely look into that. Thank you!

Some months ago there was a comfyui extension for regional prompting which was quite visual and easy to use. Sadly its not maintained anymore.

Yes, comfy workflows seem to have the tendency to get messy 🙃 .

Edit: The ComfyUI_Dave_CustomNode is the one i was talking about. Seems to be dead.

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Ah I was just trying that one out. No wonder I was having some trouble with it. The ones from ltdrdata are probably a good bet as those nodes are quite actively receiving updates.

is the theme "angry women with guns" or payback?

let's try to be more creative

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Hmm, perhaps I should remove my two bonus examples? I was just trying to show what MidJourney and Dalle can create based on my own prompt of trying to recreate the scene I mentioned.

Let's see your version of payback 😊

I added an extra note to the post 😉
Although I notice we already got a nice non-gun entry a few hours before you even wrote this.
