Camping Kisses - Vignettes of Gay Life, Diorama
At the camping site, these two men’s eyes locked and something magical happened — love at first sight struck them like a lightning bolt, leaving no room for doubt or hesitation.
After receiving unexpectedly positive feedback on my image set titled “Vignettes of Gay Life,” which consisted of isometric dioramas created using Midjourney, I decided to test if I could produce something similar within Stable Diffusion.
To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations. I figured that if I couldn’t replicate the dioramas, then so be it. It’s difficult to predict if training data even exists within an SD model, so I decided to give it a few tries and see what happened. Surprisingly, on the first attempt, I managed to create something quite satisfying
For this series of images, I used Airfuck’s Wild Mix, a checkpoint model created by a talented gay creator. While many of these models were designed for NSFW (not safe for work) content, they work surprisingly well for creating safe for work images too. In particular, they excel at rendering gay scenes beautifully. Personally, I often gravitate toward the Virile series of models, as I appreciate the intense desire expressed in the eyes of the men when they gaze at each other, which perfectly complements my Kiss series.
Although these dioramas didn’t quite turn out as isometric as I had hoped, they surpassed my expectations by evolving into heartfelt love stories. They are so romantic that I would proudly display them on my desk.
