Sure! I started out in Stable with a prompt like this --

Beautiful photoillustration of a tree in a glowing lake in a cave. Realistic mixed media painting illustration by Carlos Quevedo, Brandon Kidwell, photorealism, precisionism, ambient occlusion, 3d liquid detailing, octane render, VRay, album cover art, 8k digital illustration

After that there are about 10 more similar prompts with various artists and settings. Once I got the picture I liked, I threw that into Artistic and reran it to add some texture. Then I chose one of the lower progression images (I believe it was 8 or 10%) for this picture.

Take a look at some of somniamea's fantastic Artistic creations, and you can see how to layer prompts. It takes a lot of trial and error to get something nice, but the end result can be quite outstanding! /u/somniamea

Good luck! And thank you!

WOW Well there you go... that's how it's done. thanks for the advice!

You're very welcome! I think I spent 10 or 12 credits on this. I got lucky this time – some of them take 30 or 40 credits to get something I'm happy with. I'm a bit too critical of my own work, I guess.

yeah that's what I'm noticing. I never knew about the evolutionary process with the original images. I should have saved some of my credits. I'm trying my luck and working my way up. You have some amazing work!

Well you get 7 a day for logging in and voting. Then as you get badges, you'll get a whole bunch more. Then it all starts to dry up, haha. I keep telling myself, "I'm only going to spend a few credits this time!" and then 50 credits later I still don't like it and start all over. *sigh* But it's just so much fun, even more so when it's a piece you really like!

I am new at this and find it interesting that it almost can take as long going through the trial & error phases of multiple prompts and the final refinement passes as it does to paint (with a steady hand) on canvas with any media. Your explanation of the process of creating (I still think Winner) piece helps to show that AI Artistry is more about technically and verbally creating a piece of artwork, and not just someone cranking in phrases just to see what these AI engines can do on a single pass basis.

I’ve only been working with AI Art Diffusions for about a month, trying many to narrow down what I find to be the most useful. I ultimately will use this in conjunction with my digital photo artwork. The funny thing is the power of this medium compared to my past work done in Bryce 7 and other3D image software makes those look like crayon utilities.

Thanks for taking the time to walk through at a high level; how, this was created. It is instructional as well as helpful.

Yeah, either you get lucky with a simple prompt or you have to really tweak and work with it. Fortunately this engine keeps evolving, so perhaps someday we'll be able to directly edit pieces. As an illustrator, I'm kind of blown away that I can just type some words and a (potential) masterpiece pops out! I really enjoy it, and instead of drawing things for my job, I can relax and have some fun here without all the hard work. And cool stuff happens!

When I started out here, I just started copying all sorts of prompts and keeping them in a text file. I do occasionally return to that if I need some inspiration, but now I mostly go back to older arts I really liked and use bits and pieces of those prompts. It's fun to mess around with all the different styles and artists! And while the daily challenge can be a bit of a credit sink, it gets me to try out new things that I wouldn't normally create.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
