Artwork Messing around with AI, A Art thread.

Fetish cringe asid I miss the FIM community. Too bad it got overtaken by bad actors and then all but dissolved as a major entity with Gen 5
Yeah, A New Generation and Gen 5 basically killed the MLP fanbase, and MLP as a whole has basically died an inglorious death. Though, to be fair the last few seasons of FiM were getting long in the tooth, and "Gen 4.5" in Pony Life was their last attempt at squeezing what was left out of Gen 4.

Hasbro fucked up and unintentionally killed the golden goose -- Ironically, people were more interested in the awesome new art style for the FiM ponies at the start of A New Generation than the actual movie and its plot/characters themselves.

A lot of people were also theorizing that Gen 5's setting is basically a post-apocalyptic version of Gen 4's future (like you see in a lot of Zelda games), but interest in that basically died off when the connections between FiM and aNG/Gen 5 were basically even far looser than Zeldas' games' sequels/prequels, lol.

I hear basically nothing about Gen 5/MLP these days, and I hadn't thought of it until you brought it up.

Man, I remember back in '12 when the whole Canterlot Wedding thing was going down, and people were going nuts about all the new lore/story stuff that Cadence and Shining Armour introduced (as well as Celestia not being an actual god).

Times have changed...

The Fim Fandom legit died when Josh Scourcher left. Did not realize how much of a pillar the man was for the fandom until he publicly left it due to showing no interest for Gen 5
 
So, stopped my MJ subscription for the moment as I don't have any creative need right now, but also because I feel they are treading water. To me it seems, at least for the 'normal' algorythm rather than Niji, that they've went backwards as far as artistic expression and understanding of prompts are concerned. I mean, the overall visual quality has gone up, but to me at least it seems that I ended up getting better (as in closer to the prompt) results in v4.

Thought I'd keep up with the MLP theme.

I prompted DALL-E 3 directly using OpenAI's own web interface instead of Bing, with "Master Chief riding a small pink tricycle in a fantasy candy fairy gingerbread land". This was what I got on the first try:

I loved GPT's description of the latter image. "Render of Master Chief in his green armor, looking comical as he maneuvers a dainty pink tricycle. The backdrop is a fantasy candy kingdom with towering gingerbread castles, waterfalls of blue raspberry syrup, and meadows of gummy bears. Mystical candy creatures observe him with curiosity."

Next I had it do "Master Chief in an old-school Soviet-style propaganda poster from the 60s or 70s with bold artwork, with the text UNSC and their eagle logo, with the pose and composition designed to inspire hope":

The text wasn't perfect in all cases, but it could easily be touched up in Photoshop.

There are some things DALL-E 3 sucks at that MJ is obviously better at.

Let's try "a detailed painting of a military starship in the style of the game Homeworld".

Eww, no, wtf. Wrong.

Now, let's try the same exact prompt in MJ V5:

gnosys-a-detailed-painting-of-a-military-starship-in-the-style-482887be-16ec-4e3e-b9f2-56b539c98ca7.png

gnosys-a-detailed-painting-of-a-military-starship-in-the-style-482887be-16ec-4e3e-b9f2-56b539c98ca7.png


WAY better. Goddamn.
 
The Homeworld art-style was directly inspired by Terran ships from the Terran Trade Authority, IIRC; maybe mixing that in would create some more accurate images?

I already thought of the same thing and tried it before you mentioned it. Nope. Same result. DALL-E just sucks for that sort of thing, at least with the prompts I used. I think I’ll try again later, but for now, I’m messing around with MJ Niji.

What if Eggman was the hero honestly trying to build a utopia with superior technology, and Sonic and his friends were a pack of violent maniacs trying to tear it all down?

One thing I've noticed about AI art is that it all has a sort of similar style.

Can one have images of something in various styles? Like Retsuko done a-la Hanna-Barbara, Anime, classic Disney, etc?
