![[Community Challenge 29] Splintered Reality](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/4a5e2379-9e6e-4763-94dd-86a88be50147.webp){kind=link}
#Theme: A photograph displaying contrast that mirrors an aspect of reality that is splintered in a subtle way into an alternate reality.
#My Prompt in Dalle3: Create a photograph of a blossoming tree in a meadow surrounded by a forest that looks dark and gloomy. Make the photograph 16:9. The blossoming tree is secretly composed of pixels that are barely holding onto reality, splinter, broken, tortured, altered colors, surreal.

I had a feeling that Stable Diffusion wouldn’t be able to generate what I was looking for, and I was right. So I turned to Dalle, which gave me some okay, but bland images. Then I took ideas from those and went to MidJourney where I got some beautiful images, but just not quite right. But I got some more stylizing ideas from those. Back to Dalle and got a good, but still bland image. Now it’s SD to the rescue!
I started with inpainting the the surrounding cityscape bit by bit using one of my favorite realistic models Photon. Then with the Unstable Diffusers Nihilmania SDXL model, I proceeded to fix up the crack in the street. First the outline of the cracks, and then the inside with the Pixel Art XL lora.
Original Dalle prompt:
realistic digital art, a deserted city street at dusk, shimmering with the soft glow of street lamps, parts of the asphalt crack wide open, subtly revealing bright, pulsating binary code beneath, widescreen aspect ratioHoly crap that’s beautiful! I clearly still have so much to learn.
Thanks! Endless youtube videos and experimentation for a year help a bit
Am still early in that cycle then! I hope to be there soon.
Btw, I forgot to mention that the pixels of the tree being pulled away looks really cool.
Thank you!
this, with 9 votes, seems to be the 2nd most, after thelsim’s 10
Yeah for whatever reason I didn’t see it that way when I looked at it and still don’t. No idea what the deal is.

They’re both the same to me even when I use incognito. Clearly I don’t understand or am doing something wrong.
do you mean incognito mode in a browser or anonymous mode of an app?
In a browser.
