~ Generative Germination ~
Some ideas ruminate for a while. I would call it a germination process. I have had some ideas yet to be fully explored... while others i have done enough runs to fill up 20 posts or more. It's funny the things we learn along the way to find a better prompt or more precise words to bring about a more desirable end result.
For instance, i have found many cool artists that i would have probably never found out without doing a little bit of research to find influences for my prompts. One in particular who always makes a colorful difference is Josephine Wall. You can check out her gallery at that blue link. Here are some examples of how just putting her name in the prompt amplifies the quality and value!
Prompt: magic mushroom forest, backlit, fantasy art
Now, i just added 'Josephine Wall style' to the prompt, in front of fantasy art.
Prompt: a magic mushroom forest, backlit, Josephine Wall style
It makes an even cooler difference when i put 'Josephine Wall style fantasy art of magic mushroom forest, backlit'... essentially rearranging how important the words are in chronological order within the prompt.
Prompt: Fantasy art of magic mushroom forest, backlit

~ Come Have Some Fun! ~
Before i really get going, i wanted to share with everyone the opportunity to do this yourself for free!
Come join Ausbit's Discord and illustrate your imagination via text prompts using the bot with a zillion settings for free by clicking this invitation link. I highly recommend coming and giving it a try! You can tag me on discord @ castleberry#6859 and i will help you out the best i can. Or, if i see you there, i might just tweak your prompts with you and save you some credits while helping you refine your concepts.
~ Other Inspirations ~
One of my other favorite inspirations growing up was an artist named Brian Froud. He was a concept artist for the movies The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Both movies have some amazing characters and art designs that make them cult classics and brought to life by Jim Henson and his amazing special effects!
I have noticed that the amount of detail and style added into the generations of art just by adding 'Brian Froud' to the prompt is pretty incredible. I will create a few examples to show you the value he adds to the process and final outcomes!
Prompt: Organic Heart highly ornate metallic platinum sheen (onyx black and lapis lazuli), backlit, award winning portrait, detailed background <80sDarkFantasySD15b> [names, signatures, letters, words, titles]
Prompt: Organic Heart highly ornate (brian froud style) metallic platinum sheen (onyx black and lapis lazuli), backlit, award winning portrait, detailed background <80sDarkFantasySD15b>
They both turned out well and look good in my opinion. However, the Brian Froud prompt was a bit more detailed in an organized manner. I love the accents and different design aspects that just using his name adds to many images.
Dolphin encrusted with precious jewels (metallic gold foil sheen), backlit, award winning portrait, detailed background <80sDarkFantasySD15b> withLora(add_detail,0.8) [words, letters, characters, letters, signatures]
Dolphin encrusted (brian froud) with precious jewels (metallic gold foil sheen), backlit, award winning portrait, detailed background <80sDarkFantasySD15b> withLora(add_detail,0.8) [words, letters, characters, letters, signatures]
As you can see, there is a vast difference in portraiture. Neither of the images above had a dolphin in them, even though the prompt was weighted to have a dolphin in there!
Let's try something generic and different.
Prompt: human brain anatomy, brain image, uhd, 16k, award winning photograph, backlit, macro photography, highly detailed, organic diagram, fantasy art, cyberpunk, biomechanical brain, backlit, extremely detailed brian froud style ornate background
Prompt: human brain (brian froud style) anatomy, brain image, uhd, 16k, award winning photograph, backlit, macro photography, highly detailed, organic diagram, fantasy art, cyberpunk, biomechanical brain, backlit, extremely detailed brian froud style ornate background
Tango and Cash
I think all the generated images that i have shared here are cool looking, but Brian Froud always adds a bit of something extra to the mix.
~ Objects of Affection ~
Here is the difference between a generic prompt of a generic skull and a generic prompt of a generic Brain Froud skull!
Prompt: metallic sheen skull
Prompt: metallic sheen skull brian froud style
Prompt: mechanical heart, metallic sheen, ornate background, backlit
Prompt: organic anatomical heart, ornate background, backlit
Prompt: mechanical heart (brian froud style) , metallic sheen, ornate background, backlit
Prompt: organic anatomical heart (brian froud style), ornate background, backlit
I didn't spend too much time refining these images or tweaking the prompts for better results. I mostly was just rounding up some examples of the inspirations and the difference they make when using fairly generic prompts. If i can get this good of results in a fast generic way... just image what the possibilities could bring if i dug in and spent some time on their perfection!
Love the Results
~ Objects of Effection ~
Now, i just wanted to share some cool semi random stuff. I had a plan when i went into making this post... and somewhere along the way i got lost in the sauce. Enjoy the spectacle!
MindBlown
~ Fun Run Finale ~
And to finish things off... i did a run just for fun. As it turns out... it almost looks like it's telling a story. Though, there are some subtle and not so subtle changes from one to the next... i thought they all turned out cool in their own ways. I left out a whole bunch of cool ones too, but i chose to share the best ones with you.
MindBlown Even More
I will be giving extra curation to more meaningful comments, and will also be giving even more curation for those that engage with each other within this comment section.
I would love to know which images are your favorites and why! It would also be super cool to hear any suggestions or ideas you have for me to try out later. I will be giving even more curation for anyone that shares something of their own from Ausbit's bot in the comments!!!
Until next time, y'all take care, and thanks again for dropping by!
Hello my very first image that I like the most is this one.
I like medieval fantasy and this image represents this world very well.
Followed by this one because I like the cello and have also entered the same world as the first image that of the fairies
One last image so as not to saturate the chat with all the ones I love
This image lets us dream of this fantastic world of the tiny with all its fantastic life which mixes with the medieval one does not go without the other
I also had fun on various AI links found on the internet image creator and I was very surprised. The one you use seems very powerful and precise which is interesting to add a final note to creativity. Thank you for your invitation and I'll try to stop by the discord to try this artistic game that arouses my curiosity.
I do hope you come take that invitation and use the bot to your own advantage! It will be amazing to see what your creative mind will come up with. Most of the ones you liked the most had a heavy Brian Froud influence. I think he is an artist you would really like.
I'm glad to see you stop by and active on HIVE. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the post and the images you enjoyed. Medieval fantasy is never a bad choice! hahaha Take care and see you around!!!
En faite je passe tout les jours sur HIVE mais je ne publies pas par manque de temps. Vers septembre 2022 nous avions parler de truffe. La personne qui habituellement me les vends n'a pas put m'en fournir a cause de la sècheresse il y en avais pas beaucoup et sa a fait monter le cours tros chère pour mon portefeuille. j'espère en avoir en 2023 mais là il commence a faire très sec et j'ai peur que sa recommence cette année j'aviserais pour octobre
Aucun problème. Les truffes sont toujours chères, m'a-t-on dit. Une sécheresse n'aide jamais les prix ou la production.
Je suis juste content de te voir. Je pensais que tu avais fait une pause, mais je ne poste pas très souvent non plus. Je dirige généralement les choses depuis les coulisses.
I know only a little of this artist, the first one you mention, from seeing some of her works, really wonderful, I love fantasy.
The images of the mushrooms are beautiful, full of that magic that exceeds expectations. Of them the third one is the one I like the most, although the others have beautiful colours.
From the second category I was fascinated by the second one, those colours are beautiful and I liked the face a lot.
The brains with a face... amazing!
Then the mechanical hearts, with machines inside, very original.
The last part, I was speechless, beautiful all of them, it's a mixture of universe and love. That's what I saw. If I have to choose 3 and 5.
What a beautiful publication, delighted to admire each one, thank you!!!!❤️
Those mixture of 'universe and love' images were some of my unexpected favorites! The brains with faces were cool also! This was a fun series of images to run for a post. I am glad you enjoyed them too! Thanks for dropping by and maybe you should check out the bot too!
I know, I know, it's a pending account I have... study it first, thank you very much!
When I make up my mind I will ask you some questions... about publishing AI❤️
That is really interesting how much it adds to it when you add the name for style like that. Might be fun to mess around with some Kincaid style stuff, but not the sort of thing he would normally do. I might have to dig into that a bit. I haven't messed around in the server for a while.
I have seen some people use Kincaid in their prompts and it does add a bit of his warm and whimsical style to whatever else you are trying to get generated. I think you could have a bit of fun with that one. It is pretty crazy how just a small tweak can add or change things so much! Ironically, when i was trying to get it to work on purpose with simple prompts i had a hell of a time. Usually, it just happens automatically! hahaha Kind of like a watched pot to boil i suppose.
That is cool. I just like the idea of applying a style to something that wouldn't normally go with it. I did a couple prompts in the server. The results were kind of interesting.
It takes a while to get your bot legs under you! If you ever tag me when you are there i will try and give you some help!
You can add all sorts of styles or vibes with just a few words. The difficult part is keeping things mildly consistent.
Cool, thanks!
I like the "germinating ideas"! So what kind of sprouts would that be? Did you ever ask the AI?
Oh or then, (because the mushrooms) maybe the ideas could be as the mycelium, taking all that space under the surface, and the mushroom (the outcome of the idea) is only the smallest part, but the only part that shows...?
Its been a while, but it was still a pleasure:)
The ideas are a lot like the mycelium... connecting or disconnecting, then reconnecting different flows of thought. The creative ideas and inspirations jump from one synapse to another, one concept to another, blending and merging together.... then flowing into imagery. It's an interesting and fun process.... but it does become tough to remember where i started or recall where i was going! hahaha
It's awesome to see you stop by!
The brain of the earth!
...it's amazing how everything can be found in nature or be compared to (well I guess that is where it all comes from in the first place) :)
It's true!
I like the glowing mushrooms and the sloth he he he 😁
I don't know if i can be friends with anyone that doesn't appreciate glowing mushrooms! hahaha And, i prompted the sloth image with something super simple....
Sloth with a Donald Trump haircut! hahaha
The Trump Hair could have been better... but the Sloth turned out amazing!
#PSYCHEDELIC word was really 100% insane.. I also use this in my previous post, I wish you have time to check them Mr.Castle Sir, Thanks, and again great job.
Those were some nice contours!
Excellent, really beautiful, congratulations friend well done 🙋🙋
I'm glad you dropped by to come check them out! Cheers
Excellent images! Your post makes me want to try harder with the IA's!
!luv ❤️💯

I could go all day doing this!!!! 😍
And other thing, this is for a Leo Finance quest:
I noticed you used Threads back in Feb. The User interface works better now, maybe you want to give it another try!
