Polo, Suddenly Gay
The men at a serious polo match suddenly all have this collective light-bulb moment. They look around and go, “Wow, there's a handsome bunch of dudes here.”
And just like that, it's goodbye horses, hello Hollywood romance. Suddenly, it’s not about the score, and all about the smooch score.
Continuing from the first Polo: Suddenly Gay series, here are some renders of men playing a game of polo until they got distracted by each other and turned the traditional game into an unscripted rollercoaster ride of affectionate lip-locking.
I used Airfuck’s Wild Mix for these images. I find that it has a painterly quality that adds a lot to the final image. It‘s stylistically similar to Virile Fusion, but leans more towards techniques found in traditional medium such as highly detailed oil paintings.
I will likely experiment more with using paintings with AWM in the future. Using artists by name inside Stable Diffusion has been one of the most challenging aspects when working with Stable Diffusion. Unlike Midjourney, which has a fairly extensive knowledge of artists, many custom models in SD tends not to be responsive to artists by names unless you ask for very well known ones.
Since joining Unstable Diffusion, I have found some inspirations looking at the works by others, e.g. Czach and Weyr. Both of them share very good paintings with prompts so I’m able to see which model is responsive to the painters by name. Neither are on Instagram, but you can find Weyr on Twitter @weyrhere.
These images were rendered a month ago. They’re one of my earliest renders using AWM. I made 1000 images from this batch, and only recently narrowed them down to 200. It’s too colossal of a task to try to process all of them at once, so I have picked 30 to post today. I will post-process and post the rest when I have time.
