Artificial Intelligence has seen an explosion in research and development this past year, and many tech companies are attempting to outcompete one another in a variety of industries.


I run Stable Diffusion and other programs locally on my PC. Checkpoints such as SDXL are able to produce impossible stills, video, and recently, even 3D models.



I made these images using my first Stable Diffusion 2.1 model, which, in various ways, is considerably more advanced than the 1.5 base.

Photon is one of my all-time favorite and most used 1.5 models. I feel it is more than capable at handling most text prompts and modifications.

I made this at a lonely time, and it radiates the same emotion.

I made these for a friend to use in an RPG - my first real success at consistent character features across angles and poses in SDXL.

This work holds heavy inspiration from Alex Garland and others in the genre, and I grouped these becuase they all have the same eerieness.
