Been playin around with #ComfyUI and #SDXL models for a few months now, what a fun tool. Lately I've been rather obsessed with using it to creating some ""paintings"" that I have floating around in my head. I learned most of the technique from a fella on YouTube called Rob Adams, with a bit of side reading to figure out what some of the things were I needed to play with to get what I want from his method.
I start with a basic two-tone mask that I crudely draw to give the model a main direction for the things I describe, then add a noise layer on top of it. From there it moves on to the first pass which takes an overly (#ollama) complicated series of concatenated input prompts and gives me a very rough (1024²) idea of where I'm

Been playin around with #ComfyUI and #SDXL models for a few months now, what a fun tool. Lately I've been rather obsessed with using it to creating some ""paintings"" that I have floating around in my head. I learned most of the technique from a fella on YouTube called Rob Adams, with a bit of side reading to figure out what some of the things were I needed to play with to get what I want from his method.
I start with a basic two-tone mask that I crudely draw to give the model a main direction for the things I describe, then add a noise layer on top of it. From there it moves on to the first pass which takes an overly (#ollama) complicated series of concatenated input prompts and gives me a very rough (1024²) idea of where I'm headed. Then I crop a 16:9 section from that and scale it up a bit; this is also where the most of the color tweaking is done. Once I'm happy with this ""starting point"", I pass it on to another run through a different set of models to get my final image. Once I adjust the lighting on that one, it get's upscaled again for use as merely a wallpaper, maybe I'll print em out one day ...maybe.
Finally, today I've gotten my image composition layout to work the way I want, so I figure I'd share a few samples (1/4 scale).
They look great. I obviously get curious about the prompts too.
As a sidenote: your images are 25-30mb. Each. In most of the services where I can see your post I get served a lo-fi representation of the images. Only when I click the separate images do I get the full resolution and detail, however they are much larger than the screen size I have access to.
It would probably be a good thing to resize/compress images for social sharing in a controlled fashion, that does the images justice, and perhaps link off to the full-size images if that is what you wish to share. Just a thought.
Thanks, it's been loads'a fun so far! The prompts for txt2img can be quite finicky, that's why I've added in the LLM to serve as a translator from human to robot.
And thanks for the heads up on the size, I hadn't bothered to ever check if images get autocompressed on upload to here ...guess they don't.
More aid workers have been killed in 2024 than in any other year, UN says apnews.com/article/ocha-humani… More aid workers, health care staffers, delivery personnel and other humanitarians have been killed in 2024 than in any other single year, the United Nations reported Friday. Bloodshed in the Middle East has been the single-biggest cause of the 281 deaths among humanitarians globally this year, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"An Israeli attack on Oct 25 killed cameraman Ghassan Najjar and engineer Mohammad Reda, who worked for Al Mayadeen, and Al-Manar TV’s camera operator Wissam Qassim" Human Rights Watch found “no evidence of fighting, military forces, or military activity in the immediate area at the time of the attack”...“the Israeli military knew or should have known that journalists were staying...in the targeted building”.
I went to Slovenia to participate in yearly maintenance of the artificial islands. These islands were made specially for the conservation of birds which otherwise would go extinct. The problem began when the Dam was build on the Drava river, so all natural habitats for birds been flooded. I enjoyed this trip and project a lot, much more info in the video.
Concert goers dancing next to your concentration camp, who know exactly what's going on in your concentration camp, who often set up picnic chairs to watch your concertation camp get bombed.
