All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.”― Ambrose Bierce, The Collected Writings Of Ambrose Bierce
I have been in contact with my friend Paulo Cunha who is also on Nightcafe AI, and we were exchanging tips about prompts. I am actually honored that he is using me as the lead artist in his latest prompts. So I took his last 2 pieces and evolved them.BTW, here is my Nightcafe page Art of the Mystic
TRANSFORMATION TO WEIRDVILLENightcafe AI SDXL 1.0here I added a second prompt and 'cooked' it at 70%
MEETING OF THE CRYPTID TAXIDERMY LEAGUENightcafe AI SDXL 1.0a simple evolve at 40%The prompts I usedthe first prompt is from Paulo, the socond is mine
PROMPT 1: cryptid taxidermy people in a primitive structure, style of Otto Rapp, Hieronymus Bosch, Zdzislaw Beksinski, H.R. Giger, Salvador Dali, Art Nouveau, intricately detailed, hyperrealism, fantasy, oil painting, intricate linework, dynamic lighting, high definitionPROMPT 2: The Inner Life of the Artist Otto Rapp - his Alternate Reality in Bogomil's Universe; macrocosmic reflection, intricately detailed; Hieronimus Bosch, imperial colors, fantasy, International Gothic, oil painting, mysterious, cryptid taxidermyAnd since I was on a roll thereafter, I tried doctoring the prompts - but first, I had 'imported' a prompt from someone on Flickr (who, like me, publishes his prompts) for a abstract acrylic flow imageAcrylic flow prompt:acrylic pour art, liquitex, cells, cellular marbling, chemical reactions, flat, high contrast, vivid earth-flame color scheme, mix between acrylic molding and thick Impasto paint --ar 12:12 --v 5.1 --no hands, brush, frame, borderThe image created with this prompt looked like this (just one example of several):
The next move was to combine the prompts, which is OK to do in SD mode, but SDXL does not work well with multiple prompts, so what I did was use one of the abstract images to evolve in SDXL 1.0, but create a single prompt like this:acrylic pour art - The Inner Life of the Artist Otto Rapp - his Alternate Reality in Bogomil's Universe; macrocosmic reflection, intricately detailed; Hieronimus Bosch, imperial colors, fantasy, International Gothic, oil painting, mysterious, cryptid taxidermythis worked good together with the evolve image input, and the first result was this:
POURING IT OVER 1
.... and then there came three more
POURING IT OVER 2
POURING IT OVER 3
POURING IT OVER 4Some more related stuff, at random - all these are 'unpublished'
Please note:Over one month ago, I had been put on a 'time out ban' into the Nightcafe penalty box until November 6th 2023. Until then I can create and edit but not publish or comment. I still can upvote and award tips.I can't wait for my ban to be over - then I can 'clusterbomb' Nightcafe with pent-up creations - there are already hundreds of them!My page on Nightcafe: Art of the MysticA glimpse of what went on prior to this ban (there were more discussions in the group) - check the comments on this post: GANDALF AND SIAMCAT 6What this boils down to is this, and perhaps a warning to others: Nightcafe is largely a Kindergarten, particularly chat groups. Don't communicate and debate with anyone - my fault was to argue with a bunch of 'Karens'
