No crashes but ...

... I honestly have no idea who these guys are. Last pic is cropped because there was hand - book placement that made no sense whatsoever. Still not right, just not as weird/ugly.

The rest of the batch look much younger than I wanted and if not twins then certainly related. Which Holmes and Watson weren't. (Until they got married and lived happily ever after. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;-)

Holmes and his older brother maybe?

Trying different subjects with Gill's painting prompt, (muted colour palette, impasto technique, textured brushwork, impressionism, post - impressionism, , gorgeous stunning art, nostalgic charm)...

Thanks for the fun Gill...  :)

Have also seen similar ship paintings, very often on walls of doctor's offices. A popular subject and no doubt favorites get often imitated be it by hobbyists, art students or AI generators. I wonder who thought of it first? Probably not some guy in a landlocked cave, that's for sure. 

Love the little girl in the field with her kitty! Kids, cats and flower gardens are also very popular subjects, maybe because there's so many of them about if one is in the mood to paint. My grandparents and greats had similar pictures in big old Victorian styled frames on their parlour walls. Not proper paintings of course because (a) not many artists around this town back then and (b) way too poor for things like that. Just very nice prints that in most cases used to be calendars.

Yes, definitely Sherlock and Mycroft. 

Gah! Just noticed the borked right hand. 

Bottled dragon's breath

In case anyone missed it (note sarcasm), we have a bit of a thing happening here on Saturday

...

Such a regal pupper there, gill! How did you get him into that outfit? I have been trying to put martial arts outfits and fantasy gear on my cats but SD wasn't having any of it. Prompt was "kung fu kitty" and this is what I got instead of something like the ones here: https://www.reddit.com/r/aiArt/comments/11hw8on/cat_kung_fu_class/

And Samurai Cat got no armour, but some had interesting colour patterns and expressions.

Last one really has the Wise Master vibe going. If only he had the accessories to carry off the look!

Playing with the new Midjourney version:

Gill - Maybe we should send Len a bottle of that dragon breath, it might help settle his stomach, ha ha ha.  Luv the royal puppy....  ;)

Byrdie - Very nice kitties, keep trying diifferent words and or styles, I'm sure you will find some kung fu cats...

Lunaseas - Oh no V5.1, I'm just getting used to V5, lol...  ;)

Dragon breath in a bottle, or so the guy on the street corner told me...

A few lizard kings for Wendy V...  

Lizard Kings for Wendy

Those are some nice jeweled crowns Luna...  :)

Another popular painting back in the day, at least here on the east coast of Canada, is the classic lighthouse... 

Byrdie:  Wombo, first try, with prompt:  kung fu kitty in fighting garb.

Then in Playground (Stable Diffusion 1.5) with same prompt.

Lunaseas those crowns are awesome, rhol_figament's look like the Queen Consort 🤣

Kung Fu kitties...

Some Wombo fun...

LED ZEPPELIN-Dazed And Cofused 1968

For those of you who have been around since the early pages, you might remember the heavy metal hamster band 'Trauma'.  Well they have a new album out...  ;)

TRAUMA

Drown In The Confusion

I try to stay afloat,

I try to stay alive.

I try to keep my head,

Above the waves,

I try not to drown,

In the confusion.

Ayron Jones - Blood In The Water

After a running wheel accident, the lead guitarist is back in full force, co writing three songs on the new album...  ;)

Thanks, gill & ladylake, must try those prompts and see what happens. Love the lighthouses and samurai and hooray for the hamster band! Was wondering what they've been up to lately. Accident, eh? Gotta be careful of those running wheels. Especially if one has been :ahem: indulging. Rock on!

Lizard Kings for Wendy

Royal Cat Family, anyone?

I played with the prompt a bit, adding "digital painting, impressionism, post-impressionism, gorgeous stunning art". This is not the standard model that comes with Stable Diffusion, it's a custom mix I picked up over on CivitAi. Name of it is dreamshaper_5BakedVae.safetensors. I had to convert it to a .ckpt so it would work in the older version I'm running, so far it gives very nice results. Kung Fu kitties are also a go but I'll post those later.

kung fu kitties!!!

Lizard Queens

Random pretty people

Great stuff Luna, luv'n those kung fu kitties and their outfits!

You need a comfy chair...

And ... my Kung Fu Kitties. I accidentally typo-ed the prompt so it was kunf not kung on two batches, dunno if that's what resulted in some very cute plushies. Might also have been differences in models. Either way, I got a couple duds but most looked pretty good.

Nice kung fu kitties Byrdie, the last two are my fav's!

I hope Len is doing ok, maybe we need to send him to see the great wizard in Oz...

I'll keep a cold beer on standby...  

all the kitties are wonderful  😻

Some random places...

AaaaHaHaHa!! Bet ya'll thought I died from Food Poisoning or something actually we just decided last minute were going to Austin for a Live Music Fix so we did. Loaded up the 64 Pan in the back of the Beater and took off for Mike and Mona' place in Austin, Mike is my best friend for almost 50 years he's lived in Austin the last 30. Spent most of our time at Antone's Nightclub, good music man, All Them Witches is going to do 2 nights there June 1st and 3rd, both shows sold out for weeks already. Did get tickets for Tears for Fears July 17th at the Moody Center, don't know what they're like these days but Songs from the Big Chair is in my all-time Fav Albums list, so we'll see. So I didn't die yet just decided to Kick off the Summer with a Road Trip.

Tears for Fears: EWTRTW last year 

Frosty

Damn go away for a few days and Mid-J is different again...

Len, glad you're ok :)

Now, here's a little tip I picked up from MidJ FB group - and it works.  If you want to see what your prompt is like with different versions, the quick way to do is below using permutations....just put in whichever versions you want, comma separated.  I did the one below with just a simple fantasy forest test

--v {3,4,5.1,5.1 --style raw}

Test drive with v 5.1

"I'd Rather Go Blind" - Gov't Mule 

Fat Man in the Bathtub: Little Feat

Blink twice and everything changes. This AI business is certainly progressing fast. Many improvements, but some of the best I cannot use on my machine because of that darn GTX 1660 graphics card. Did these last night using one of the newer SD 2.0/2.1 models. Took practically forever to render and that was at the lowest settings that were acceptable enough and did not cause freezes and crashes due to insufficient vRam. 

No, I did not invoke That Actor's name, and I really, really did not want any hats. Or if there must be hats, a proper deerstalker. Will fix it if I ever get inpainting worked out right. Also some of the buttons on the vest in #3 need sorted and I really haven't a clue what's up with his outfit in that last render. Not sure if it's a trick of the lighting or if SD made a really bizarre fashion choice.

I probably won't use this particular model very often until I get a better graphics card. Which ain't gonna be any time soon. :-(

Also I too am glad you are ok Len!

Revisting one of my first Midjourney prompts that was just a yellow blob with a face!

Did somebody mention the land of Oz?

Lunaseas:  Love those revisions.  

Steve:  just follow that yellow brick road.  Fun images.

Leonard:  Glad you are okay.  I was beginning to be afraid of eating any more peanuts.  :-)

Lou was out all morning "Shopping" spelled "Spending', that's OK when she does that it's always on her acct never ours (mine, what's mine is hers). Anyways she got home about an hour and a half ago with a couple bags of stuff and Tacos and Burritos for dinner, Yay! After taking the other stuff to the Bedroom she came back out and tossed me a Box and said Happy Birthday which it's not, a pair of Sennheiser HD 206 Headphones, I'd been looking at those on Amazon but wasn't quite sold on them, face it it's the cheapest Sennheiser makes anymore. They sound freaking amazing I can't believe a $40 dollar set of Phones has such a soundscape, I can retire my 15year old Koss Headphones Yay again (Geeze I Love that gal) gotta do something for her now...Hmm.

Pete Townshend - Face The Face...found this while testing the new Phones, I got this album(or had anyway have to try and find it now) must be 3 decades since I remember seeing it, Pete Townshend at his Anti-Apartheid best

Pete Townshend: White City Fighting

Just realized she'd be lucky to shoot the Ground...that's her right hand on her left arm. V51 an improvement? not so sure

Looks kinda sci fi/cyberpunk-ish to me. Maybe that's a bionic arm she's got that can rotate in whatever freaky direction she wants? Or a mutation of her joints, making her extremely super-flexible. Who knows? Really cool renders, though.

Hope all my UK friends had a fun day, hip, hip, hooray...
