@william_kent is there aplateau point or if I leave this running for another hour will I come back to a masterpeice?

there's a high miss to hit ratio - I've found that if you leave it to do its thing for about 10 minutes then you can tell if it will be any good or not - if it looks like it is shaping up, leave it running, otherwise sack it and tweak your phrasing - there's a few tricks you can employ with the text prompt - using the pipe symbol ( | ) you can do stuff like:

saturn devours his son | in the style of francis bacon | artstation

or

saturn devours his son | in the style of francis bacon | trending on artstation | rendered in unreal engine

which will deliver you better quality images

frankly, my first attempts looked like teratomas, just awful

and yes, there can be a plateau where if you leave it running too long it will "overfit" as they say, and basically ruin what it was doing - I've been playing with neural networks for a few years now ( image and text generation ) and the trick is to pick the sweet spot

I found with text and image generation that after so many iterations it may end up plagiarising the material that the neural network has been trained on - a few years ago I trained a neural network on purely boomkat reviews and after a certain point I recognised the text that it was generating..

but, to be honest, if it was me I'd abandon that attempt and start again...

other tricks:

saturn devours his son | oil on canvas | oil painting in the style of francis bacon | artstation

 

[woops]

teratomas

do not google this word

 

[william_kent]

another trick is to also put the url of an image in the image_prompts parameter - the nn will try and copy the style of the image

 

[william_kent]

for @linebaugh



saturn devours his son | in the style of francis bacon | trending on artstation

( low iteration, probably should have left it running longer )

 

[william_kent]

another trick is to mix up the "in the style of" prompts - here's a couple based on @WashYourHands choice of prompt



All around the great oaks sang them to sleep and dreams | in the style of Austin Osman Spare | in the style of Aubrey Beardsley

sometimes the AI will misinterpret what you mean...



come into the cool gray bark the hair-gray color of Persephone | in the style of Francis Bacon

the AI has interpreted "bark" as belonging to a dog, not the "skin of a tree"

 

[william_kent]

here's one that was originally intended for @catalog's treeshagging thread



kiss the gray white tree fondle the crotch | in the style of Francis Bacon

Ah see I was just putting 'saturn devours his son' and then uploaded a francis bacon painting for reference. Did not know you were putting 'in the style of' in the text prompt

All around the great oaks sang them to sleep and dreams | in the style of max ernst

this is almost indistinguishable from a max ernst painting

 

[line b]

the units- the slurs and squiggles and wetness - he paints with look to be the same the AI uses to generate images. You can see it in early renders or in the negative space of renders where the AI isnt sure what to do.

i quite like this one, the way the blue shape in the centre "pops" out, distorting the perspective, causing the shapes of the 'trees' in the background to be reminiscent of Ernst's The Barbarians or The Angel of Hearth and Home

 

[line b]

can you get a good render in the style of philip guston? that seems to be stumping the machine

It was some website that auto generates motivational posters. I forget the name though. @version probably knows i
