Wrestling Bros and Still Life
Wrestling Bros
Two men who enjoy wrestling together hang out in a decorated room after a wrestling match.
Sometimes when you add artist names inside Stable Diffusion, mysterious objects would appear even if you didn’t prompt for them. I find this amusing. I asked simply for two wrestling buddies to hang out in a room. But SD helpfully added some fruits and tea cups to the scene and made these men seem like couples hanging out during breakfast. Unexpected, but so very welcoming.
The arches of the room serve as a framing element — which came from the painting I used to influence the composition. You’d be really surprised once I show you that painting, which I plan to post to my Instagram story later.
This marks the start of a series of experiments, where I use paintings that I have made in the past to influence a checkpoint model to create something that’s in-between a painting and an ink drawing. I have also taken the opportunity to try out the Singlet LoRA, though for this particular set, they’re not very pronounced, and the men appear to be wearing underwear instead. The effect will be much more apparent in subsequent sets, which I will be posting later today.
