Greetings, artists from all worlds and all realities!
Today, I'll share the last creature I made (last week) before starting to work more on landscapes, buildings, basically environmental artworks to visualize the world I'm writing about more. I hope you like it!
The following images were made using my custom build of Disco Diffusion, photo-manipulation and digital drawing through Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.

Would you believe it if I tell you this is the SAME 3D bust I modeled on Blender, that I usually use for different pieces?
Except, there's a twist.
This image was ran first in Stable Diffusion, to bring some mood, details, overall structure and coherency (the bust being completely empty), but THEN I ran it through my newly trained model CreatureDiffusion, in Disco Diffusion, to add some mechanical madness.
But I haven't stopped there! I sliced it into 9 slices, edited all of them, drew in some colors (all the reds and oranges basically), changed the overall tint, then ran these 9 slices back in Disco Diffusion. But then I didnt stop there either!
After stitching those 9 slices together into this following image:
Not bad, would you say? But it was not enough, not enough mechanical clickety things, not enough details, not enough... madness.
So I cut this image in 4 quarters, and each quarter I cut into 4 more quarters. And ran this whole happy family of 16 different slices back into Disco Diffusion with the same prompt!!!
The final stitch took longer, of course, as well as the editing (the image being naturally 4K at that point, without upscaler), but LOOK AT THE DEPTH OF THOSE DETAILS! (and yes of course I did the composition in darktable.
