Howdy, everyone! I wanted to share with y'all some of the art that has been generated using the Stable Diffusion discord bot. So far, it's all been pretty experimental. I've used many different prompts but mostly with one theme in mind... Pumpkins.
Even staying within the bounds of one theme, a prompt has almost infinite variables that can be tweaked. With Halloween around the corner, i figured it would be cool to get some generated art that i could use. I plan on digitally altering and/or combining many of these images into some digital and composite artworks.
For now, i was content to just play around trying to get the AI to render an image for me. I had a few concepts that i wanted to see visually through the imagery that the AI would construct using my prompts. Some, in my opinion, turned out fairly successful while others were epic fails.
Overall, it's usually fun to watch the AI adjust to our different directions of instruction. Making subtle changes in the prompts to try and achieve a more desirable result is a labor of love and patience.
While i had a few particular things that i was looking to loosely create here, which i will explain a bit more later on, you can literally type in anything that you can think of and an artwork or image will be created.
One easy experiment is just prompting the AI to combine two different things. It's extremely fun and even if you don't think you have much of an imagination... i assure you that this process will fire it up!
If you are interested in making some art read the post i have linked below to learn how to participate for free. This bot is operating inside Ausbit's Discord and also in the Alien Art Hive discord. Those invitation links are provided below.

And My Last AI ART Post:
So, now that y'all have all the links to the tools needed to participate i will continue on with this post. I hope to see some of you come try it out!!!
Carving pumpkins is an interesting artfrom that has become more and more popular each year. It's pretty incredible how creative and talented some of the practitioners are. IF you want to see more about what i mean just click on the link in the image below. That is not an AI generated artwork below. This image of Medusa is an artwork hand carved into the surface of a pumpkin.
Ideally, it would be cool to digitally carve art into pumpkins like the image above but using AI augmentation instead of analog hand carving. Though, i don't think the AI is quite ready for that kind of challenge yet. I believe there probably need to be different models trained to accomodate this kind of imagery with more precision. You will see what i mean below.
There is also the possibility that i have not yet dialed in the precision well enough with my promptings using the options that are available!
Sometimes, just adding a word can change the whole outcome. In a couple of the images just below i added the word 'horror' thinking that it might make the image scarier. Instead, it gave it a popart kind of VHS movie cover feel. I didn't mind but it's not the direction i wanted to go.
I did think this next one would have been a cool metal album cover!
I think that trying to manifest a visual using AI as the tool of expression based on our prompts is an interesting approach to take in making art. I am not going to go into the AI art debate and how i feel about all that since i have made my position clear in many previous posts.
However, i can say that, as an artist, seeing others try their prompts as well as testing out my own and mixing and matching options has provided a spark of ccreativity and inspiration that i have been missing for quite a while.
So, for me it has already benefitted to enhancing my own original art. I have noticed that some creations would be easier for me to produce, even with the effort and time and materials put forth, in an analog format rather than generative avenues, especially for digital carving!
I tried many prompts out. I thought you might want to consider them as you looked at the art so i put the prompts in a quote box just above the generated image from that associated promt.
Some of the creative interpretations are due to the randomness of the generations, directions in the prompt successfully and/or unsuccessfully executed, or the variable settings when intiating the bot.

Since i the images are so easy to generate i will keep my commentary down to a minimum and let the art itself and the prompts do most of the talking.
I mostly just wanted a creepy giant pumpkin that had a fairly symmetrical face carved and that was glowing from the candle inside of it. I wanted it in a dark forest at night sometimes with a full moon and sometimes sitting on a giant stump.
Many times, i tried to get one Giant leader Jack O' Lantern surrounded by a bunch of the tiny little (Jack-Be-Little) Jack O' Lanterns.
I even thought of a bunch of JackOLanterns marching (i don't know how without legs) in rank and file as a display of military might and strength. Nothing ever came close enough to working out well so i didn't pursue some of those tangents! You can't always force the AI to make what you want. When this happens i usually pivot my approach and think about it more while i work on something else. You can always come back later with a fresher mind to explore more creative solutions!
Here are some more of the tangents that i did continue to explore!

I've noticed a certain amount of too much detail can confuse the AI. Like if i said 'glowing from a candle inside it' the AI might fuse a candle into the art in random ways or merge the pumpkin and candle together. So, just saying a glowing pumpkin more often than not came up with close enough results.
Generally though, the more detail about what you want in your prompt the better odds of the AI being specific in return... IF YOU WORD YOUR PROMPTS PROPERLY!!! But sometimes, even when you do, the AI will get creative on you.... Like the two moons in the next image.

One intersting element, or turn, the AI tried a few times was doing a surreal portrait style image. I thought some of those had the best balance and most interesting creativity applied. It wasn't what i was looking for so i didn't go as far as i would have liked. I planned on coming back to these prompts and seeds at a later time.
I still have a lot of images left so i will leave you with quite a few more and their prompts and conclude this run in another future post. Thanks for making it this far!

I save some of the best images from my latest runs for the next post. I don't have much time until Halloween so i had better hurry to get that put together. I loved how many of these turned out. I also hated some of them as well. Overall, it's a fun process that excites the imagination all along the way.
I have been inspired to try so many different artworks that it's overwhelming almost to think of where to start. Perhaps, i should finish the exploring stage before my imagination becomes the cart in front of the Ox!
Thanks for dropping by to check out some of the results! I really do hope some of y'all go give the art bot a try. Let me know in the comments which ones you liked the best!
Until next time, y'all take care and have an awesome weekend.
