  • I think some of both. I gravitate towards the more fashion photography models/loras first, rather than start with the porn models. I also prompt for an assortment of expressions and nationalities, and I do go into detail on the hair length/color/style, and I think that does a lot for generating a wide variety of faces.

    Some of that is also basic curation. I generate a ton of images, then look at it as a photography shoot, and select the ones that grab my attention more.






  • Wildcards and dynamic prompts are a killer feature for getting diversity. You can have ChatGPT output long lists of options and save them as text to pull from, rather than putting the OR options in the prompt. For instance, here’s just a snippet of my 100 line “hair_color_natural_hightlights.txt” wildcard file:

    chestnut brown with sun-kissed golden highlights
    dark blonde with naturally blended caramel highlights
    auburn with subtle coppery undertones and honey highlights
    jet black with hints of espresso brown and warm burgundy highlights
    chocolate brown with natural honey and toffee highlights
    ash brown with delicate pearl-toned highlights
    light brown with sunlit blonde highlights
    

    One question though, are you sure you have the dynamic prompts extension enabled in A111? These all look very similar, and the fact that the OR statement is in the prompt metadata still makes me wonder. Typically, the “brunette | ginger | blonde” would get resolved by the dynamic prompt processor before generation, and the image metadata would only show the single selected term by itself.



  • These are very sweet, and love the embroidery details!

    All of the SDXL models are too airbrushy plastic to my eye, but you can’t argue with the hand quality over the older 1.5 models. One of the things I’m wanting to try is to start with an XL model to get the basic pose structure in place, then finish with the grittier and more realistic 1.5 models. That introduces a whole new level of adjustment knobs to play with!






  • The method I’ve settled on takes a bit of work to put together. First, I upload PNGs to catbox.moe. This preserves metadata so someone can feed the image into the A1111 PNG Info tab, or by copying the url to https://pngchunk.com.

    Next, I upload JPG copies here. That gives me the lemmynsfw hosted url and builds the gallery. Then I put them both together using markdown so that the image gallery is also links to the PNGs. The final format looks like this:

    This seems to work well. The only hiccup is that I need to include the first image twice, once in the post body so it shows in the gallery, and once as the post header image. That works okay in the browser, but some lemmy mobile apps show it as a duplicate.
