AI Art Thread #60
Backends:
>Purplesmarthttp://purplesmart.ai/https://discord.com/invite/aHaZHujNXP>Tantabus, the best AI art archivehttps://tantabus.ai/>https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrixThis is more of a one click manager that you can install / run the other backends though. Easiest by far. Recommended to download Forge through it and use its built-in Civitai browser to download models with.
For models not through the in-built downloader just download and drop them in Stability_Matrix\Data\Models\* (lora folder if a lora, TextualInversion if embedding, stablediffusion if checkpoint...)
>reForgehttps://github.com/Panchovix/stable-diffusion-webui-reForgeI would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.
>ComfyUIhttps://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installingHas a learning curve but is extremely customizable and usually has the latest methods / papers implemented first.
>"But I don't have a decent GPU"NovelAI also does great pony:
https://novelai.netYou could also use a service like civitai.

>>7184 >>7181less disgusting garbage but still not great. I wish we had IDs enabled so I could filter this poster.
>>7188It seems the Ponerpics importer still isn't running on Twibooru.
>>7194I lied, looks like they were uploaded to tantabus, then pulled into twibooru
>>7195Twibooru imports from Tantabus?
>>7188WTF why are my gens there?
>>7199Someone could be scraping AI threads?
>>7071Aha. Now that makes sense.
I don't mind people uploading them, but they chose some damn weird ones to upload, except that Fluttershy yogapants one.
>>7200Don't, I don't want nor allow my gens to be reposted elsewhere than the 4chan threads, how do I get them out of Tantabus?
>>7206>I don't want nor allow my gensYou have no rights as an AI artist.
>>7209To add to this: if you post it on the internet, especially an anonymous imageboard, it's public domain.
>>7209>>7210That's my stance. The models are trained on peoples time and effort, it'd be unfair to claim either monetary compensation, or claim ownership.
>>7209I have rights as an AI artist just like you have rights as an AI artist, there's even my gens under a prompter tag, even the AI assisted art which was heavily modified and inpainted is there!
>>7212Is that supposed to be a joke? I never joined Tantabus!
>>7211Remove your name tag and add "anonymous prompter".
>>7214Thats a lot of mouse clicks
>>7214Or rather my artist/prompter tags, but I never wanted these so I'm going with the report form.
>>7217I can prove I altered my gens significantly to be art. I'm going thermonuclear on this.
>>7218>I'm going thermonuclear on this.You're as cancerous as a regular "artist".
You can't really stop anyone from uploading files posted on an anonymous image forum to a place that allows anonymous uploads.
>>7219I'm an artist, I'm even sure the guy who uploads everything he found on /mlp/ for years and downvote them is one of them.
>>7218Nigger, I've been making Aryanne color edits on this site for nearly a decade, and nearly every one of them has made it into the boorus whether I wanted it or not. If you don't want your stuff to get uploaded, don't post it.
>>7225Wonder if there's any copies of the lineart I used to colour in uploaded somewhere.
>>7231Nah, it was over 10 years ago so not surprised.
>>7225I feel you, anon. My situation's different. Not Aryanne stuff but I pour my soul into making original AI creations too. I've spent hours editing gens, refining them into something truly unique. That's what makes them my art, just like any artist's work. The fact that my AI-assisted pieces, including some I made for others, are being reposted on boorus like Tantabus without my permission is a massive violation. Thanks to this thread opening my eyes about this issue. I've already flagged this to their staff, emphasizing how unacceptable it is. Could you imagine yourself selling a commission and someone finds your art there you done for them, and ask why it's posted in a AI art community?
The spammers are bad enough, but knowing my work's being scraped and shared without even asking kills my drive to post em on an anonymous board anymore.
>>7240I'm very serious and I'm gonna prove it, being the OP of several threads on the past board and a contributor. I even know Astra, Ada and many members of the community. Now if we don't have any security or protection what's the point of all this. I've been discussing this on AI art canary several times, what's your take on this topic Anon?
>>7245>what's your take on this topic Anon?If you use AI to generate/modify art for a client in a contractual agreement, you have no rights to complain if you publish the art onto the public domain, especially one where anonymity is the norm.
>>7245You sound like an anti-AI shill. Either way, your efforts are in vain since we have based sites like Twibooru nowadays.
>>7237>The fact that my AI-assisted pieces, including some I made for others, are being reposted on boorus like Tantabus without my permission is a massive violation.If you don't want them uploaded, don't post them.
>Could you imagine yourself selling a commission and someone finds your art there you done for themThe boots are already chock full of commissioned art, publicly released or not.
>>7245>I'm very serious and I'm gonna prove itAll you have to do is post a piece of art then anon, we'd take you more seriously then.
>>7251So you're not going to prove it then?
>>7255
>publishes your AI art for lulz
heh, nothing personal kid
Why are all AI threads like this? It's so full of autism when someone post actual gens it's seen as trolling.
sharing some older OC mares pics
>>7258It's just the donkey show raiding since 4chan is dead. The faggot spamming his shitty gens uploaded a blacked one on the pony x human thread so he's confirmed from the donkey show and raiding.
>>7260The Hatsune Miku x Kenji Setou mashup no one asked for
>>7171What if mods enabled IDs so I could filter the donkey show raider spamming his garbage?
He uploaded blacked on the pony x human thread so it's a fact we have donkey show raiders here.
>>7261>>7258>the donkey showShould I know what this means?
>>7264Wordfilter for the skiddies that took 4chan down.
>>7263Are you really that emotionally delicate you feel personally offended by everything you see on the internet? What do you do when a nigger walks up to you and asks you for money? Be meek and mumble or just don't engage?
>>7258>when someone post actual gens it's seen as trollingThe type of content matters.
>>7265Oh. Wasn't this happening on /mlp/ earlier? I don't think it's them unless he said it, wasn't it just salty artists trying some psyop shit?
>>7266>I'm a tranny that sucks cock gluck gluck Gluck gluckThank you for the info, but not relevant to the discussion.
>>7248It's RATo fyi, he got off on having his slop in OPs on /mlp/ threads, he would make them because nobody else would post sloppa as an OP.
>>7270Yeah, it's a bunch of losers sad their coommission money well has dried up, so they spam the AI thread with slopgens out of pure spite. I don't think the donkey show is involved here.
>>7271>immediately goes for the tranny insult>deflectionFull blooded male mate, dunno why you're obsessed with cocks. I can ignore the spammer, why can't you?
>>7275By giving it attention, you're giving it what it wants mate. Simple as.
>>7276>Ignore it and it will go awayYes, we have seen how well that works.
>>7279>Yes, we have seen how well that works.It might, if you actually ignored it.
I won't proclaim to be an expert on the culture here as I'm an immigrant, however we had regular derailers on /pol/ and the tactics used here are exactly the same. It was only a matter of time before they went seeking other chans to earn their paycheck measured in (you)s. When you start imposing limitations, people will find workarounds to get attention. Starve them of it and they'll either try harder or just give up.
>>7280I don't want limitations. I just want the guy banned for breaking GR3.
>>7282Has he posted recently, since his spam?
>>7283I think his Bing credits simply ran out.
>>7287Post a picture. Any picture.
>>7276>>7280Nice teats
>Ignore itCool, let me just filter their ID... OH WAIT!
>>7289Thank you. I do have a standard when it comes to teats. Second most important part of a mare.
>>7273Spammers or no spammers. AI artists deserve the same respect as anyone else.
But hold on to me my art are shiny dream packets of thought juice, snatched by sneaky fuckers in the misty webfog I'm the big maker who built pony in the hot ideapot of my brainspace, but these breaks me in, My fixes? light doodles of my heart's place. I'm not where I used to be anymore if you feel it.
>>7248I'm not anti AI I'm close friend with many big names in AI even Astralite so shut up, AI is the best thing ever to happen to us to punish artists setting a price after dragging us in I might have done more for AI art than anyone else in this thread for the past years, and was in since 2021 when it was just a toy for many, and it's now a science, we're students here.
>>7293>my dad works at Nintendolmao, post your work or stfu already
This would be perfect, without the text. Kudos to the prompter.
>>7305>NukeOnly OG batfags will remember
>>7300
Just the post above yours but I assume the poster deleted it themselves.
>>7293RATo why won't you ever use an img2img you promptmonkey? There's nothing special about your gens at all
>>7299Kidnapped and being broken in like a common farm horse.
>>7306I missed the whole nymphobat thing. I think they are cute.
>>7307>>7311Just the one?
>>7310I'm reading through a story from /spg/ where Celestia goes on holiday to Earth for reasons. Expect some related gens.
>>7314I derped and forgot the attachment
>>7306Anon you are completely uncreative and spammed 100pbid on 4/mlp. You even posted blacked on mlpol.
You are a donkey show raider and will hate IDs because then people can filter your attention seeking spam.
You aren't an AI artist because all you do is spam garbage, and have spammed the same garbage for weeks.
>>7320You are mistaken. But whatever, think whatever you want. But I would prefer if you thought I was a bat pony. :3
>>7313>I missed the whole nymphobat thing.WDYM there was a revival of bat pony threads on 4/mlp that had that as its core fetish. (DFBP threads). Or do you mean something else? Did you mean you want more lewd?
>>7320shut up shartist he's one of the best AI artists out there cope and seethe.
>>7325Nta, but your work is begging for some img2img passes and some quick fixes in paint. Just pumping it out as fast as possible is not helping you improve as an artist.
>>7333Why are you patronizing others like this? You think you're smarter or some kind of genius? You're not. Stop pushing up artists like you're better than others, that's insufferable. God. Get out of my thread.
>>7325>WDYM there was a revival of bat pony threads on 4/mlp that had that as its core fetish. (DFBP threads).I am none the wiser.
>Or do you mean something else? Did you mean you want more lewd?I would appreciate gens that aren't shit, to be perfectly honest. Its not difficult.
>>7331>>7333Give me a brief overview of img2img. Are you the workflowlad?
>>4858 >>7333Yea, some of the cutie marks and backgrounds need touch ups. And I take the time to do it on some. Not all but I am slowly building up my techniques and effort. I don't do to much raw i2i but I do some inpainting.
>>7338Noted. And I happen to be the workflowlad, wassup?
>>7337Why are you so defensive about getting constructive criticism? If you aren't actually trying to derail the thread, then it should be no issue to try what others suggest, it's not like you have to post what you don't want to.
>>7342Anon more then one person is in the thread. Stop assuming I am everypony and essentially the boogieman in your mind. It's a little sad.
>>7342You hurt others and that's not acceptable. We can't have a decent AI art thread anymore without the safeties we had against trolls and shitposters, thread is already hitting it's bump limit and it makes me sad. I should not even have that I'm autistic and it's making it harder for me not to flip.
I'm sad about all this.
>>7338>Give me a brief overview of img2img.No workflow, I just use reForge which is just better optimized Automatic1111. I usually start at a low resolution and then increase the size to a larger resolution that shares the same aspect ratio. So if I generated a bunch of 512x512 images, I would increase them to say 1024x1024 in img2img. I find eeping the denoising strength around 0.5/0.6 is usually good for not ruining the image while removing a lot of the flaws. Then for me, I can't stand when the cutie mark is messed up so I would remove the original one in an image editor and copy and past a .svg of the cutie mark onto where the old one was. Stuff like this helps bumps the quality a lot and helps develop some useful skills.
>>7344>Stop assuming I am everypony and essentially the boogieman in your mindProjecting much? I'm not assuming anything, don't freak out when people give feedback.
>>7348Okay...
Can anyone understood a word of what that anon just posted?
>>7341Might I ask that you reread the last line of the post? Specifically the first sentence
>>7342Given the recent discovery of image scrapers, and new nVidia drivers assisting in law enforcement its no wonder that people are apprehensive about sharing their gens, Me? I gen wholesome pone stuff.
>>7348>eeping the denoising strength I'm sorry. What? I get the math bit, but what are those terms and processes?
>svg [painting]Got that bit, do you reset the canvas prior to cutiemarking?
>rest of itYou jewish?
>>7351See above.

>make a bunch of small images in txt2img until you get something you like>make the small image bigger in img2img >in webUi there's a slider that says denoising strength, the bigger the value, the more dissimilar from the original image the larger image will be.

There are disgruntled and quickminded poners ahoof, Chill,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJWsDpA909c [Embed]>>7354>>profitMeme, certainly. Bit there was a gentlleman earlier somewhat disgruntled that his ... art was republished without his permission nor acknowledgement.
Never wanked to my gens before, but I am honestly tempted.
>>7352>do you reset the canvas prior to cutiemarking?I forgot to answer this, not really sure what you mean exactly but I just use an image editor and manually fix little details instead of using AI to do them. I'm terrible at figuring out how to mask things in image editors so I've been just manualling drawing in things and eyeballing it. As for adding the cutie mark itself, I just brush out the original one and place the downloaded one over the spot.
>>7356>Bit there was a gentlleman earlier somewhat disgruntled that his ... art was republished without his permission nor acknowledgement.This must be some newfangled idea I'm too old to understand, but is it common for people uploading digital files with no copy protection, drm, or encryption of any kind to feel entitled to control how what they uploaded is used by others?
>>7345>>7357Do it! Hot poners await! Also if you use images that you don't share it feels even more personal.
My take on Equestrian Gothic came out pretty well.
>>7131the "spammer" ironically have more talent and vibe in his gen than your slop.
