Below are a couple of the AI pics that didn’t make it into the story. It’s a mix of everything, and shows a bit of the process on how to create those images. AI is amazing, but it’s also quite a lot of work to get things right and consistent.
Enjoy 🙂
Jason, how did I miss this blog entry? Seven extra pictures for “The Esses”??? Ones that show the process of creating them! The pictures are nice to have for such a great story! Nice job on both!
Hi Scott,
I put this up without making a fuss about it. I don’t want to be know as ‘that pictures site’ for multiple reasons. First, I’m a writer, and I think it should be about the story. And second, pics attract a lot of folks. Both good and bad. And I mean ‘bad’ in many ways. I’m always careful to keep things on the good side with the images, but this is a thin line. So, that’s why I announce a new story, but are quiet about the images.
Which AI website did you use to make them? Was it Artbreeder?
Hi Mortimer,
I use my own VM for that. I do this now with Paperspace, but they’re not cheap. Public websites have issues with terms like ‘naked’ or related to that.
I now use the open source tools related to StableDiffusion. The interface with The Esses and Date Night Discovery was Automatic1111. But with my newest story, I use Fooocus. Way more intuitive.
