I find all those photos generated by Stable Diffusion to be kind of repetitious and boring.<p>Eking out something "interesting" is difficult, especially with limited time <i>and</i> low-end hardware. Interesting is highly subjective of course. I tend towards the more artistic / surrealist style, usually NSFW. Only nudes, no pornography.<p>I've been experimenting these last few months with interesting generating images, trying to make them "artistic" rather than photo-realistic, or the usual bland anime tributes.<p>I usually pick a "classical" artist which already has nudes in their repertoire, and try to blend their style with some photos I take myself, and with the style of other artists.<p>Most fall flat, some come close to what I consider acceptable, but still have major flaws. However, due to my time and hardware constraints they're good enough to post. I use fooocus which is kind of limiting, but after trying and failing to produce satisfactory results with Automatic, fooocus is just what I needed.<p>I can't really understand why more people don't do the same. Stable Diffusion was trained on a long and diverse list of artists, but most people seem to disregard that and focus only on anime or realistic photographs. The internet is inundated with those. I'm following some people on Mastodon who post more interesting stuff, but they usually tend to be all same-ish. I try to produce more diverse stuff, but most of the time it feels like going against the grain.<p>The women still tend to look like unrealistic supermodels. Sometimes this is what I want. Sometimes not, and it takes many tweaks to make them normal women, and usually I can't spare the time. Which is unfortunate.<p>If anyone's interested, I post the somewhat better experiments in:<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/@TheNudeSurrealist" rel="nofollow">https://mastodon.social/@TheNudeSurrealist</a><p>Warning: Most are NSFW. But are NSFW in the way Titian's Venus, say, is NSFW.
