One of the most prominent generative AI tools that has been making headlines in the last few months. Stable Diffusion is specifically meant to create fully artificial, photo-realistic images. If you've ever seen one of those "all of these people don't exist" montages, it was almost certainly using images generated by this tool.

There's a ton of models and LoRa's for it that can create a pretty wide variety of things. I use it for creating on-the-fly watercolor scenes during D&D sessions for my session journal.

Those images are awesome. How many tries and time did you need to get such good results?

These were deities for a homebrew campaign, and the DM had already provided their domain, element, and symbol (i.e. war, fire, stallion). I usually just generate 4 images at a time (only takes a few seconds on a 3090) and pick the one I like the best. Sometimes I'll generate 2-3 sets of 4, but not often if I don't have a clear idea of exactly what I'm looking for.

If it's something really specific I need, I could spend hours using in painting and various noise/models to get what I want.

Edit: oops, I was thinking of a different montage I did recently: https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/595611323719481231

The previous linked image was much the same process, though the prompts were more detailed as the other players had provided more information on their character's appearance.
