Serendipitous Swarm 2024.
The past few years have been a rabbit hole of epic proportions as far as creativity goes. I have been Well and truly on board the AI image generation train for quite some time now and despite the general lack of updates, I have been busy behind the scenes these last few years.
One approach to using Stable Diffusion in my artistic practice has been making models of my art. Some models are based on single pieces and others are combinations of multiple and sometimes many artworks. Using these models I am then able to produce new images roughly in my style, often traced directly over old pieces or new un-rendered Blender creations.
Using batch combination I can then recombine the resulting image sets into further image sets and then repeat the process all over again. I’ve currently done 7 generations of this process and I’m starting to get the kinds of results I went into this to find.
