SDArt : Cosmic Horrors - base 1.5

Model presentation

This is a model related to the "Challenge of the WeekEnd" contest on Stable Diffusion discord.

You can find this dataset in a more complete model, SDArt : Complete Edition.

This present version is trained on dedicated tokens per user, and doesn't work like you may be used to.

I try to make a model out of all the submissions, for people to continue enjoy the theme after the event, and see a little of their designs in other people's creations. The token stays "SDArt" and I balance the learning on the low side, so that it doesn't just replicate creations.

The pictures were tagged using the token "SDArt", and an arbitrary token given to the user that submitted it.

The dataset is available below and is composed of 39 pictures.

This week's theme

It was a stupid idea, I know that now. I thought I was brave, daring, that I could handle anything. But nothing could have prepared me for what I found on the other side of the veil. I had always been fascinated by the unknown and the supernatural, and finally, found a ritual that would grant me passage.

As I recited the incantation, my mind was wrenched apart, tearing at the senses as I felt an indescribable sense of disorientation. The world was drained of color, shrouded in a thick, eerie mist that clung to my skin. I couldn't see anything moving but there was a strange silence that hung in the air. It was eerie.. unsettling.. like walking through a graveyard.

And then, I saw it.

Beyond the veil was a terror beyond anything I had ever imagined. A mass of writhing tendrils, some thick and muscular, others thin and sinuous that moved with a strange, fluid grace. Its eyes were pure black within a world of gray - drawing me in like a magnet.

I tried to flee, but my feet seemed to be rooted to the spot. It was like the entity had some kind of hold over me. I could feel its presence in my mind, trying to rend it apart. It whispered to me the secrets of the universe, knowledge meant for no human to possess.

And then, I saw black.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in my own world. But the memory of the gray world and the creature haunted me. I had looked into the abyss of the unknown, and it had looked back.
