Link Bot is a mindless Drone that does automated tasks for Ramen Junkie on Blogging Intensifies. It is programmed to feel happy about doing these meaningless tasks, and while this may seem cruel, Link Bot is not able to tell because it’s programming does not allow it to feel sad, and thus it is not capable to realizing it is being treated cruely.
The next step in my journey to better AI Art, was better prompts. Which also has sort of landed me on just using one complex prompt I found and modifying it as needed, which works very well. I started off by adding more descriptive words to the basic prompts. Including Camera models which was suggested by quite a few people.
“In the Style of Manga”
“An oil Painting Of”
“A Pencil Sketch of”
“in the style of [artist]
“Realistic”
“Hyper-realistic”
Canon 5D
This worked better. But I started looking around on the Stable diffusion Sub-Reddits for good prompts to use. I came across the following Prompt:
, (humorous illustration, hyperrealistic, big depth of field, colors, night club scenery, 3d octane render, 4k, concept art, hyperdetailed, hyperrealistic, trending on artstation:1.1)
Negatives:
text, b&w, (cartoon, 3d, bad art, poorly drawn, close up, blurry, disfigured, deformed, extra limbs:1.5)
Which I have used and adapted quite a lot. Essentially, everything in front of the first Comma is your actual prompt. This is essentially, what I have been doing. Everything after refines things a lot. You can also change the background by editing the “night club scenery” bit.
Anyway, the rest of the post is sharing some more pics based on this prompt.
Prompt: “Tracer from Overwatch” +
As normal, really iffy on the hands, but still some neat concepts that could actually be skins in the game.
Prompt: Godzilla +
Prompt: Several different Batman Prompts (Batman Fighting, Batman Overlooking Gotham, Batman Battling Joker)
Prompt: The Joker +
These are some of my favorites so far. I am not a huge Joker Fan really, but they do a REALLY good job of portraying the more modern crazy that is The Joker. I actually left a few off because frankly, they are super creepy, but really are nice.
Prompt: Professor Layton
Again, it has no idea who Layton is, but still seems to do really well with the Aethetic of Layton. Which is kind of odd honestly.
Prompt: An Adorable Pixar Kitten
Feels like Pixar styled art is cheater mode a bit but these came out pretty good as well.
Three Prompts with similar results, A Norwegian Landscape, The Lord of the Rings, and Arya Stark,
It’s kind of crazy just how much better the results have gotten from previous attempts, especially just like, 6 months ago or something, when I started playing with this concept using online tools. That said, it also gets old pretty quick, and you end up with a lot of “Weird shit” output, extra limbs, weird proportions, extra elbows, odd faces. I can see how it might be useful to produce some generic banner backdrops and whatnot. I also can see it just getting even better, very rapidly. If hands can be figured out, that would be a real game changer.

The dog is named "Beast" and all I could think was, "Belle ends up with the Beast in the original story".
And then they started talking about how "Beast doesn't normally sleep with people" and how "Beast was so snuggly" and I about lost it at the implication.
THE IMPLICATION
PS, this is a weird, barely Christmasey, Lifetime Movie style remake of Beauty and the Beast.
