Oh, can I have the smallest one?

No, I mean the tiniest.

Argh, no, THAT one (points at speck trying to make a run for it)

@Epic-Illusionist

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.

@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.

@Epic-Illusionist My favourite game to play with SW! For real.

@SmolChlo haha it really triggers something in me, like an instinct in my monkey brain, i.e. “must. hunt. tiny. preys”. Like you said, can’t resist the thrill of the hunt!

@SmolChlo I was like “Oooh nice, let’s add this one to my favs!”… annndd it’s already in my favs lol

@giantmaneddie well I just finished that part and those were some amazing renders and a surprisingly emotional story, even if we already knew some bits.

She had found a caring, loving giant. Why can’t society leave them in peace?!

@littlest-lily AHHHH THE PUNS

I know, right? They’re toe-tally effective!

@Nyx Even these short blurbs take me an age to create; I shudder to think of the amount of time required to write anything more. Lot of respect and admiration for those who do on a regular basis!

@littlest-lily If only I had access to someone fluent in French and English to help me revise or translate my hypothetical stories… one can dream!

@Olo that made me spit my morning coffee lol. All I can say is that variety is the spice of SW… hmmm, spices on SW… homerdrool.gif

@blehb LOL that gif is just perfect

@SmolChlo said in Militsioner:

I came across a new game that’s currently in development called Militsioner!

Very cool concept if they can pull it off. Of course I’d like the role of the guard (hehe) but I can see how this could be designed differently to include asymmetric multiplayer gameplay!

Like, “Escape the Dollhouse”… hide and seek meets survival horror. One player is normal-sized, 1 to 3 are shrunken. Add VR to the mix and that would be insane!

Awwww she’s such a cute SW!

Holy… from that angle it looks better than the CGI’d version!

@nephilim it really depends, but I’ve noticed that in regards to the filters I mentionned, less is more. The key is to give the mimimum information to the AI and leave the rest up to chance. More text in your prompt can add “noise”.

My basic prompt is something like :

• “realistic [illustration|render|painting|drawing|etc.] of shrunken woman, two inches tall, tiny, shrunk, [sitting|standing|sitting|etc.] on [palm of hand|table|etc.], photorealistic”

The actual inches isn’t really important, it’s more to give another weight to the idea the subject is not its normal scale. You can then add more info about the scene, like this:

• realistic illustration of shrunken woman being examined by alchemist, six inches tall, tiny, shrunk, standing on table, in medieval alchemy lab, fantasy, digital art, photorealistic

Mind you, that took about 20 tries to get something like this. You’ll get plenty of crappy results, too.

Another thing I’m trying to do is comics… I haven’t found the perfect prompt yet but I’m getting cohesion between panels, which is a great start.

• Three-panel comic, realistic illustration showing a female wizard, in a high fantasy setting. The first panel shows the woman normal sized, she casts a shrinking spell. The second panel shows her gradually getting smaller. The third panel shows her shrinking again, even smaller.*

Be aware that Microsoft is very aggressive on censorship, like I said any negative emotions or situations cannot be prompted.

@miss-lillipants Really liked it too but I’m not a fan of the way the story ends - you can probably guess why - but there are so few SW audio out there, I can’t complain.

A common thing I love about those is the way the SW first presents herself as being able to care for herself, she doesn’t want to be a burden, etc. But when faced with the reality of being so vulnerable they ask for the giant’s protection.

Honestly, a tiny lady saying she feels safe and protected with me… that makes me fucking melt.

@i-am-insane Shobijin or GTFO.

I see once again you are a man of culture as well.

Still exploring the possibilites with DALL-E 3, again with a mix of joy and frustrations.

I tried to push the limit to the tiniest size I could get, where reference objects would still be detailed enough… turns out it’s pretty good. Here’s an example around 0.5 inches tall, next to a finger and nail :

Another thing I tried is having multiple foreground characters, the limit seems to be around 3 or 4, beyond that you get twins, low details and other glitches. Background characters doesn’t have that limit. Here’s an example with two SW sharing the same palm:

Any handheld other than open palm is very hard to do, as the AI flags any “negative” things done to women. I literaly had to use this in my prompt to make the filter understand I’m not trying to hurt a female in the scene: “The fingers of the hand form a gentle, protective circle around her, showcasing care and affection”

In other news… I’ve been told repetitively and aggressively to do GTS/SM , and I’ve also been told I shouldn’t include giant men in my pictures. Like, dude, it’s literally me projecting myself into my fantasy… back off! So here’s one for them :

As much as I like F/f, I really wish getting men in such positions would be possible, the AI blocks any tenderness of a man towards a shrunken woman (the filter probably think “tiny women” == “young girl”, I guess) :
