Oh no, not another Selfie!
SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY
AI creation with the selfie mode on Nightcafe
for this, I used a seed image from Deep Dream Text2Dream which I had doctored up (cloned) in Photoshop and recreated. That took a number of steps in post-production before being used in Nightcafe.
This is my 'tongue-in-cheek' comment on current world affairs.

... and this here ▼ was the seed image I used (see text above)

With later iterations I created more images on SD 1.4 and 1.5 from this to use as seed images for my Selfie Mode in SDXL 1.0. The strength was set in the various creations between 0 and 50%SD Images to be used as possible seed
^{I actually just used the first one, might find use for the other ones later on}

the above three stem from the Text2Dream seed, whereas the one on the right ►
is created from text only.

but back to the selfies I created on that theme of war and defeat

now that one is a bit out of character - I look like some Blackwater executive

Prior to that, I done some with other weird prompts and even weirder seed images:

I cropped this, top and bottom, in Photoshop
^{the prompt for these had to do with Fallen Angels}

There were more similar ones, but next, I am talking to myself - literally:

...but am I able to convince myself?

..... and finally, the Inner Life of the Artist

.... but then, we are allowed to dream?

I published this one on Facebook, got lots of likes and hearts on it - of course Hive rewards are better, don't you think?

so a friend on WhatsApp remarked that this was creepy,
my answer was 'you have not seen creepy yet!'

now this is creepy! - so I tried to make it less creepy:

well, was worth a try - but Halloween coming up, I am ready for it!

CONVERSATIONS WITH SMOG
^{THE DRAGON WHISPERER}

how about going medieval?

that was supposed to be horror - at least the prompt said so
so I tried again with a prompt that included a chainsaw wizard

there are many more - I burned up a ton of points playing with this
but that should do for today.

I hope you are not tired of this display of vanity. Next I will train a model on my drawings.
If that works, I will train a model on my paintings.

Before I forget - there is all kinds of information relating to SELFIES on my previous post
