My latest project; I'm thinking of creating scenes that I can imagine, snapshots of people in history. Moments of change, of contemplation, of "life happening".
This uses PixArt Sigma, SDXL refiner, Face Restore, and LDSR Upscaling. LDSR is very slow, but gives amazing results. I'll likely add a preview-chooser early in the workflow so I can get just the right image before sending it into the upscaler. I've attached a split-screen image showing the before and after from the LDSR process, which sharpens and actually intelligently adds additional detail.
The prompt was given some leeway; it only was set to maybe 60% accuracy, giving it some creative freedom.
The final image is 4608x3584 (quite large); this one I've uploaded has been downsized.
The prompt for this is:
40yo man, full shot, cinematic wide angle (ancient city of jerusalem), an old beggar woman in the distance, in the foreground a (roman guard) wearing leather and chainmail (centurion:1.2) armor and tunic, sweaty hair, roman nose, brown eyes and swarthy skin, standing in near the gate, looking down with sadness and weariness, a belted roman shortsword, leather Caligae sandals, nikon photograph, depth of field, soft lighting
