Hey HN,<p>We are Kirill and Ivan. We've been working together on various projects since 2014, and our latest one is something we're really excited about.<p>Since October 2022 we've been working on NewArc.ai (<a href="https://newarc.ai" rel="nofollow">https://newarc.ai</a>), a tool that allows creating beautiful illustrations with ease.<p>When Stable Diffusion was released publicly in September 2020, we played around with it, trying to find the best way to use it in the work of designers and illustrators.<p>We realised that text-to-image generation in Stable Diffusion was great for inspiration, but not suitable for creating final images because of its creativity. That's why we combined image-to-image generation, ControlNet and the ability to train custom models (Dream Booth, LORA) to create a tool that allows illustrators to define composition, colour, and style to generate images with predictable results.<p>Today we're releasing the first version of our service for illustrators, and here’s how it works:<p>1. Upload a sketch to define the composition and colours. It will allow you to generate predictable draft illustrations.<p>2. Select one of our standard styles or add your very own style. Generate dozens of drafts that match your style, colour, and composition requirements.<p>3. Choose the best draft illustration that matches your vision, then add the finishing touches in your favourite graphics editor to make it perfect.<p>So illustrators can say goodbye to tedious work, save time and get more done or enjoy more freedom.<p>Happy to further discuss details in the comments!
