Greetings, artists from all worlds and all realities!
Today, I thought I'd share with you one more time some of my creations from last week. I hope you enjoy it!
They were made using my custom build of Disco Diffusion, a version of Stable Diffusion, photo-manipulation and digital drawing through Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.

Process:
I am going to quote my previous post, since the process is the same:
So my process hasn't changed since last post, but it has become more involved, complicated, and overall longer. I usually draw a quick sketch or a basic drawing on Gimp of what I have in mind (very basically), then feed that to Stable Diffusion to generate more intricate versions of that initial sketch.
Once I'm satisfied with a few results, I import them into Gimp again to adjust some things, maybe change the colours, paint over a few things, do some basic photo-manipulation, add some elements/take out some elements, etc. Back into SD and repeat until I'm satisfied.
Then it's slicing time.
I usually chop my not-final result into 5 to 8 parts, and feed these slices to Disco Diffusion, at double resolution, to really add the details. That process alone takes half a day minimum to be achieved, as it takes between 45min and an hour and a half for SD to run my slices at double res.
Back into Gimp, stitching and photo-manipulation, that hasn't changed, really. Inkscape sometimes, if I need to vectorize after drawing and painting over.
Then this final result will be taken into darktable where I do my final editing and compositing, et voila!
I am currently working on building a website, in order to start selling and shipping prints and goodies with my art on it, so stay tuned if you are interested!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, or just enjoying the view, or even disliking the view!

These are awesome! Was it difficult to set up your own custom models?
Tweaking the DD collab' to run it locally, and to adjust it to my need and vision is an ongoing process still, I have been working on it almost every day for the past 2 months now!
What are the hardware requirements to have it running smoothly? I have been thinking about trying this out but probably need an upgrade on my equipment!
There aren't requirements tbh, it depends what you ask of the program/how hard you are pushing it. My setup is quite sh*t, and I'm thinking to go back to collab' to have things running faster and smoother
Ahhh i was thinking of bypassing the collab and running it all locally with custom models etc. I think i need to learn a lot more before i can try either option. Hahaha This is all moving so fast and growing so quickly it's hard to keep up with and coding wise i am already way behind! haha Thanks for the responses!
