Sci-fi Rice Paddies Get Wet
While taking stock of my grass tufts this morning, it was evident that I only had enough to sparsely plant the paddies, and one unit would have to be done with mixed colours. Oh well, I suppose the mixed tufts could represent plants of varying age, or some that have already been harvested. I mixed

Sci-fi Rice Paddies
For years, I’ve seen the complaint online that hard sci-fi wargaming is just “Vietnam in space.” Pffft, whatever. I like “Vietnam in space.” Of course, the bog standard Terran rice paddy won’t do for my war torn colony world. Instead, I’ve designed and printed a sci-fi garden bed, or aquatic planter, or… Rice paddy :p

PAU Infantry Test
Having recently based a platoon of PAU Infantry from Ground Zero Games, I figured I should do something productive and carry out a couple paint tests to determine what the force will look like. I was initially thinking I’d do something akin to a (very) simplified DPM. The end result was the bloke on the

I’m going to call this a “b-roll” gallery. With a liquid cooled 3090ti, I can easily pump out a few hundred pics within a couple hours if I only stop to inpaint the most promising candidates. Consequently, the pictures I have shared are only a tiny fraction of what is produced. Below are a selection

I combined a bunch of anime models into one super anime shitmix model. I used Best Girl and a bunch of springtime related prompts for testing, since everybody likes cherry/sakura blossoms. For fun, I cranked up the watercolour effects on a handful. Unfortunately, one of the constituent models in this mix really wants to put

Stable Diffusion #2 03 Mar 23
I spent some time this afternoon testing the effects that a couple additional embeddings (and Loras) have on my normal prompt setup. For the most part, I kept the weights of the new additions pretty low so as to not stray too far from my normal “style.” Still, I think most of these are just

Forest Bases- Home Stretch!
The excess flock has been removed and each base soaked with watered down PVA to help hold everything in place. Once they’re dry, I’ll glue on a few tufts and then it’s varnish time.

I tried for GOTHSUKA. For the most part, I got TARTSUKA. Her looks of disgust are well deserved.

Progress on Forest Bases
The bases have been drybrushed and flocking/turf applied. I’ll give them a day for the PVA to dry and then shake off the excess. After that, it’ll be a round of flocking touch-ups followed by a matte varnish to seal everything in.

Some more messing around with best girl-alikes. First up, ROCKSUKA Not enough? Fine. How about some MAIDSUKA? Aside from the odd pic of her holding a duster or some other implement, my best prompting efforts couldn’t her to do any actual cleaning, which is probably the most realistic outcome 😉 But wait, there’s more! Some

Bonus bonus round. I had Stable open to install controlnet, and ended up Asuka’ing for an hour or two. Oops. The power of the controlnet extension is illustrated in the last handful of pics; All the outfits were generated using the nude base picture and either the depth or pose models.
