Stable Diffusion — A Few Thousand Images Later

<p>I&rsquo;m going to discuss things that I learned and relearned doing thousands and thousands of AI art image generations with Stable Diffusion over the course of almost half a year. Wow, it&rsquo;s kind of hard to read the words I just typed.</p> <p>To re-emphasize what I discussed in part one of this post:</p> <h2><a href="https://ericri.medium.com/making-wild-images-with-stable-diffusion-f87605b4aa99?source=post_page-----fd380a1889ee--------------------------------" rel="noopener follow" target="_blank">Making Wild Images with Stable Diffusion</a></h2> <h3><a href="https://ericri.medium.com/making-wild-images-with-stable-diffusion-f87605b4aa99?source=post_page-----fd380a1889ee--------------------------------" rel="noopener follow" target="_blank">Since my last post, I&rsquo;ve been indulging in generating thousands and thousands of Stable Diffusion images with&hellip;</a></h3> <p><a href="https://ericri.medium.com/making-wild-images-with-stable-diffusion-f87605b4aa99?source=post_page-----fd380a1889ee--------------------------------" rel="noopener follow" target="_blank">ericri.medium.com</a></p> <p>(<em>That has some points and resources that I&rsquo;ll be glossing over here.</em>)</p> <p>I&nbsp;<strong>love&nbsp;</strong>images that look like they come from a story &mdash; maybe straight from a movie scene or a book cover illustration. When I was a kid, I spent hours pouring over Frazetta, Michael Whelan, and The Brothers Hildebrandt. I studied those paintings, many of which were illustrations to books I&rsquo;d never read, and I got to imagine what the story might be based on what the art depicted.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been going through zoned-out joy triaging all of these images. Many look like pivotal scenes from a story and I just enjoy thinking what might have happened up to that point and what happens next. Nevermind that this is noise pattern being regurgitated into an image based on a bunch of mathematical models and perceived weights. Some of these images I absolutely adore. It&rsquo;s been relaxing and rewarding and sometimes exciting to go through all of these images.</p> <p><a href="https://ericri.medium.com/stable-diffusion-a-few-thousand-images-later-fd380a1889ee"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
