Bringing D&D/AD&D campaign settings to life with Stable Diffusion

[Stormcrowfleet]

What's the best proompting machine if I don't want to be bothered with setting up on my linux (half of them don't work for it) or paying? I want to use more of these for my D&D campaigns.

 

[Old One]

This one came out ok.

My attempt at Arcanum-esque Victorian steampunk dwarves and elves:

Ha! Thanks, guys. The challenge is turning out more entertaining than I imagined.

Google Colab, probably.

Challenge: 19th Century and Victorian Era characters (or whatever) more-or-less in the style of Arcanum.

I'm not specifically requesting anything, mind you.

The goblin's shoulder is messed up, but I didn't want to take too much time to fix it.

Well if it comes out with extra fingers I don't think I'd be a big deal for a goblinoid.

My new attempt at messy art style:

That last, pointlessly-spoilered image is a great basis for creating artwork of barbarian women:

Prompts used for this need to be saved for the future generations.

Prompts used for this need to be saved for the future generations.

"Posterity Prompts"

Like knowing the right words/spell to make hot fantasy babes magically show up.

Based on (1) previous information provided by Lagole Gon about his prompts, (2) the Interrogate CLIP function used on Lagole Gon's "Conana" image, (3) the Interrogate DeepBooru function used on that same image, and (4) a few tweaks of my own, I ended up with:
barbarian woman in a bikini and leather outfit standing, ink watercolour painting, art by Greg Rutkowski, art by Chris Rahn, art by Alphonse Mucha, art by Beksiński, art by Hildebrandt, art by Dave Dorman, muscled, armband, armlet, belt, black_hair, blunt_bangs, choker, earrings, circlet, jungle, long_hair, looking_at_viewer, medium_breasts, navel, necklace, outdoors, palm_tree, ruins
though I also added negative prompts from another source:
duplicates, duplicate, deformed hands, high contrast, cartoon, fake, amateur, deformed, malformed, (overexposed), off center, blur, haze, bad anatomy, disfigured, extra limb, ugly, poorly drawn hands, missing limb, blurry, floating limbs, ((mutated hands and fingers)), ((anthro)), ((animal))

I generated four batches of 25 images each, with each batch differing only in the CFG scale and from having a random seed. Of these 100 images, 27 are good enough to be usable, though a few require non-trivial alterations via inpaint to remove an extra limb or similar adjustments.

Stop right there stranger!!!
Before you enter the Lost Kingdom of Awesomepolis you must defeat one of my daughters in the Holy Ritual of Oil Wrestling! For such is our ancient custom.

Behold!

Thundara, the warrior:

Beware her mighty hips!

Lushina, the wild:

Leader of the Bushwomen Warriors!

Pao Kung, the quick:

Nimble in unexpected ways.

And my youngest daughter Amal, the maiden:

Her will is impenetrable!

Pick your opponent wisely!

Back to GAZ1: The Grand Duchy of Karameikos

Castellan Keep, a lonely, cold fortress high in the Altan Tepes mountains

Duke's Road Keep, which sees a great deal of commercial traffic passing through

Radlebb Keep, a gloomy fortress in the hills between the Radlebb Woods and the Black Eagle Barony

Riverfork Keep, at the confluence of two rivers

The blackened ruins of the Old Mill in the town of Threshold

Encampment of loggers outside Threshold

Fort Doom, capital of the Black Eagle Barony

Docks in Specularum, capital of Karameikos

Market in Specularum

The Nest, the oldest, narrowest, dirtiest, and poorest section of Specularum

The Duke's Palace, Specularum

 

[Lagole Gon]

Alder King and his daughters.

Here are some of my experiments. I'm specifically making RPG portraits for an NwN campaign I'm designing inspired by Castlevania.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Some generic barbarian NPCs.

God, AI art hands are still the stuff of nightmares.

God, AI art hands are still the stuff of nightmares.

You can fix them, but it's a pain in the butt.

A least with Stable Diffusion. Midjourney is a lot better at them, but still makes some errors.

These are great, what model are you using?

These are great, what model are you using?

I don't remember, but I think I was using either Deliberate or the old Dungeons and Diffusions model, and also ControlNET's Reference option. Also, the hires fix.

Returning to Planescape, the chaotic plane of Limbo demands a different art style:

Fennimar, a realm of lonely forest:

Shra'kt'lor, the largest city of the Githzerai and also their greatest military stronghold:

The Floating City of the Githzerai, their religious center, with tall spires and stone walkways:

Barnstable, a halfling village:

Aside from isolated islands of stability, Limbo consists of chaos stuff, a roiling soup of the four basic elements:

Stable Diffusion XL is near... and it's NOT shit!

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Attempted to generate images in the style of Edward Gorey, for possible use in a Call of Cthulhu campaign (or perhaps even a Star Trek campaign). However, Stable Diffusion v1.5 doesn't seem to include Gorey's style strongly enough, and rather than generate an embedding with Textual Inversion, it makes sense to wait for the full release of Stable Diffusion XL before proceeding.

A few monsters inspired by the writings of W.H. Hodgson that I created way back in October:

First two are nightmare stuff.

Anyone tried Dalle3 via bing? It's free and has some features Stable Diffusion lacks, like being able to make characters holding guns.
Kinda sucks for aping certain arstyles, been trying to make some gritty comic book art but it doesn't recognize different artstyles like stable diffusion can.
