@Epic-Illusionist It’s not boring all at, sir. In fact, would you mind if I did a little tribute to your work?

I’ve been wanting to try a few new workflows in ComfyUI and that render would be perfect.

Take it to the next level, sir !

Here you go, I sincerely hope you like it! I kept the overall vibe, maybe now he’s a bit less excited than her being at the beach Btw I don’t know if you are waiting for SD3 too, it’s almost June and no news that doesn’t sound good. I pray they don’t go private / closed-source.

Wow! That is exactly what i wanted to achieve with comfyui, but it takes a genius like yours to come up with the right workflow! thanks!

So glad you liked it! I can’t accept all the praise, I’ve had a very good initial render to work with! I love how cleanly separated each elements where so I could nicely isolate and inpaint them accordingly. My spaghetti workflow isn’t that complex, but it’s a mess of created from random tutorials, half-arsed technical documentation and stuff to work around the limitations/bugs.

That got me thinking that, seriously, if I took the time to learn 3D modelling like Blender that would save me soooo much time from prompting and working around the “no-fun-allowed” filters. Maybe then I could be accepted as a “real” digital artist, too.

Can’t wait for SD3. Do you have a DeviantArt, still? With your permission I would like to upload that piece, with full credit to you of course.

I can’t simply take it - maybe I could credit it to “EpicIllusionist” or another nick of yours? Maybe just “… someone ‘who’ wishes to remain anonymous?”

@Epic-Illusionist Not boring at all sir, this is amazing. Keep it up man.

And this is good

@foreverlurk Is this the original, or did you use magic to transform the render into a photorealistic image?

[foreverlurk]

@Reduce If I could really use magic, a lot of women on this board would be only a few inches tall right now

No, in this case I used an inpainting workflow that allows me to either get very creative from a source render, or try to stick as close as possible the original. I used the latter, which ended up being almost like a retexture. Also took a bit of tweaking to get the right position (limbs, head, etc), we can coax that using something called ControlNet.

Stable Diffusion is a very complex tool, and ComfyUI a messy, badly designed interface. But with patience you can get good results.

@foreverlurk Woah! So the render is actually the source? Technology never ceases to surprise me!
