Now that I've moved onto the halcyon meadows of Bing Create, I've bid a fond farewell to Stable Diffusion. But there were sill a hell of a lot of SD Kritters left over. I decided to sort them into sets anyway, even if I'm not going to release them. Mostly to whittle them down to little 200 or so chunks, instead of having thousands of the things clogging my hard drive.
Anyway, here's one last SD set, and it's my favorite category. Whenever I came across furballs too fucked to fix, I'd drop them into one of three folders. Trainwrecks, for ones where the AI just crapped the bed and made insane scribbles. Surreal, for when the art itself is sound, but the subject matter is incomprehensibly-shaped. And Cutest Mutants, for cataclysmicly-deformed varmints who you still kinda want to pet. Like a chihuahua/pug crossbreed in a doggie wheelchair with a learning disability.
This is exactly why I loved Stable diffusion so much for so long. It's so oddly good at cuteness and textures and old-school hand-drawn illustration styles, but then it'll also make things no human being would ever dream to draw.
(And yes, I was intentionally trying to make cactus squirrels, mousespiders, and pineapple foxes. Some of these were also meant to be pangolins. Or horses. Or yinglets.)
This is not affiliated with Topps. I just puked it up myself.
