Description

AI Models are capable of so many different styles, and it'd be great to see genners use a wider variety. This month I'm going to try to demonstrate various different styles.

The styles here are "vaporwave" and "synthwave." Although they're related, synthwave is more retro-futurism with a 1980s aesthetic while vaporwave is like future nostalgia looking back to the 80s with a dreamlike digital aesthetic.

Since they're both more modern art movements, modern models seem to understand them quite well. The left image used "vaporwave" and the right image used "synthwave" and they really didn't need any supporting tags to capture the styles decently.

Both of these art movements have musical movements of the same names associated with them as well, so you can even have appropriate soundtracks to listen to well genning! Personally when I think of vaporwave I'll always think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoBIyxWEiOw

The model used was StableMond, which you can get at: https://huggingface.co/Xeno443 . I'd highly recommend any of the Mond models, they're all some of the best furry SDXL models available. StableMond is the most anime influenced so it's best suited for cartoony looks like this, while 3WolfMond-LastSDG is the most realistic and the others are in between.

Getting multiple characters in a gen like this is much easier with Regional Prompter: https://github.com/hako-mikan/sd-webui-regional-prompter . That lets you divide an image into regions and prompt each region separately, so you can create different characters and give them different traits. Another way to do it is to gen a background and then inpaint the characters in, that gives you more control but it's more effort.

The characters were randomized by using Dynamic Prompts: https://github.com/adieyal/sd-dynamic-prompts . That lets you randomize parts of prompts either by using { | } in the prompt or by creating wildcard files that it pulls randomly from (like in this case a file with a list of characters so it randomly selected from the list).

Hope something there is helpful to somebody!
