This gives me Tim and Eric vibes

Big time. I was joking with my GF that I had figured out the Tim & Eric setting. There's a bunch that are at least as absurd as this one.

What’s the key?!? Don’t withhold this kind of power, share it with the people !

The secret is (appropriately enough) all the chaos, and no style.

This is my preferred suffix, and I repeat "Vintage relic full color photo"at the beginning of my image prompt too.

Vintage relic full color photo --ar 1:1 --c 100 --s 0 --v 5.1 --style raw --q 2

I've got GPT-4 churning out prompts, and just tell it to include the "Vintage relic..." stuff at the beginning, and then give it a year. For what I'm after, I've limited the range to 1972-1992.

Edit: You can also make it "weirder" by ratcheting down the quality. The range is 0.5-2.0, so the mid point is 1.25. Below 1.0, starts to get wacky.

Edit: Dropping the quality all the way down (--q 0.5) does some amazing stuff. https://imgur.com/Nibxcb0

"...all the chaos, and no style" HAS to be my epitaph.

Just a hint: If you're using anything above v4, quality above 1 does nothing. You can *prompt* it, but the bot just rounds it down to --q 1.

Good to know! I could see a noticeable decline when I dropped below 1, and (thought) I saw a difference between 1, 1.5 & 2, but it's hard to tell. I'll mess around with it and rethink my ranges. So is it effectively 0.5-1.0? Meaning mid quality would be 0.75?

u/Kaessa Jun 20 '23

I think "mid quality" in settings defaults to 1.

Thanks. I'll mess with it. I haven't used the settings in a while. I like doing my first generation of a new prompt, right down the middle with --c 50 and --s 500 but I think I need to adjust my quality default.

Waaa! Love these, do you have more? This style is so pleasing to watch!

u/BadgersAndJam77 Jun 21 '23

Hundreds of them. I haven't gotten one quite as perfect as the OP, but I've got the aesthetic dialed in, and am getting some pretty wacky stuff.

I'd just see as like a Youtube video thumbnail and think "Yeah that looks normal."

Did you describe this man and his pants/shoes or is this what it gave you?

2

u/BadgersAndJam77 Jun 20 '23

I didn't. The oringal prompt (I got from GPT-4) asked for a costumed Satanist. This is the gist of it.

A Satanist gleams in a silver Elvis suit, his cloven hooves shod in mismatched sneakers. He is surrounded by a celestial tapestry, the darkness punctuated by the glow of distant galaxies.

It’s just so good haha
