Howdy. It's been a while since I've written an article, and this isn't the one I'd be making next. My next article will be about the Visual Novel I've been making with AI. It's not for profit, it's purely for fun, and when the article comes out, anyone will be able to download and play it for free.
I was messing around in forge today, I've been seeing a lot of great images coming from hyphoria, so I thought I'd do some images with it. I got to doing this raven picture - and to give a bit of context for this, while I'm proud of what I post (most of the time), I felt my overall quality wasn't satisfactory and wondering what I could do to fix it.
I throw together a prompt for this raven pic:
Used a couple or loras, no raven lora though just prompt. Looks fine as is, but I wanted to see if I could make it look better, I took it to img-to-img with these settings:
but instead of using my prompt, I used a "interrogate clip" prompt "a woman with purple hair and a black dress in a city at night with a full moon in the background, Aya Goda, anime key visual, cyberpunk art, rayonism" to which I added character tags. This was the result:
I was impressed, the background got a lot better, as well as the moon. But I decided to experiment some more. I added back my original tags, as well as a raven character lora at veeery low strength (I didn't want to change it too much), I actually shrank it down to 1080p (I don't have a lot of Vram and I didn't want to try to render a 2k pic) and got this:
Awesome, the gem in her chest is the correct color now, skin tone is more accurate and the writing on the buildings is a lot clearer, clouds are looking more realistic as well. Only one thing to do from here, crank up the raven lora a little and upscale it again. From which we get the final result:
Very nice picture if I do say so myself! I'm going to play around with this a little more.
Just curious, if any of you guys do more than click generate on webui forge, I'd love to hear about the tools and techniques that go into making what you do something to appreciate. Drop a comment down below.
Till next time.
