Walking endlessly through your “Somewhere”, you begin to notice a variety of patterns and shapes. Everything was new, yet made so much sense in your mind. You looked up at the sky, that was no longer blank. You felt as light as a feather as you mindlessly reached up towards the shape in the sky.
“Why is it only me?” your words escaped your lips.
“Only you?” a voice questioned you back.
The Somewhere you had once built began to melt around you, being replaced with an endless field of radiant flowers. You watched from afar as two children ran freely through the petals, giggling merrily without a care in the world. You watched as a stray cat slept peacefully under a tree. You watched as your surroundings became gentle. Nostalgic. Beautiful.
Suddenly, your hand was tugged lightly. You turned around to face Someone. They were radiant.
“You made it!” Someone said excitedly. “I’m so glad.”
“Made it...to where?” I asked in awe, unable to soak in the figure before me.
Someone rushed in to hug me.
“Home.”
My arms made it around Someone’s back, as I looked up to the sky once more.
Yeah, this shape... it was the sun, right? This warmth–this feeling.
It was the sun.
Your journey has reached its conclusion, Traveler…
”Someone” is the one who reaches out to you when you feel abandoned, overwhelmed, and lost. “Someone” pulls you out of “Something” and “Somewhere”. “Someone” brings you back to reality.
How would your mind represent your “Someone”, express the feelings they evoke through your art
Show us who brings you into “Now”, giving you purpose with their presence and finding “Everything”
This week's example photos were made with love by @andrekerygma and I! We hope they spark some of the warmth of this Finale'!
Ending Note from Fruit, to You: It’s hard to navigate journeys all on your own. Sometimes we even think there is no one alongside us. Though these POWS are abstracted to appeal to many backgrounds and stories– you all have opened up and shared parts of yourselves. It’s important to know these stories, so that we can welcome in our own Someone, and even become our own Someone. For as long as there is a sun in the sky, we’re never truly alone. Maybe it doesn't look like the sun just yet. Some day it will. Let’s all continue on doing our best. Thank you all ! Have fun!
Model description
This is a model related to the "Picture of the Week" contest on Stable Diffusion discord.
I try to make a model out of all the submission for people to continue enjoy the theme after the even, 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 total dataset is made of 42 pictures. It was trained on Stable diffusion 1.5. I used EveryDream to do the training, 100 total repeat per picture. The pictures were tagged using the token "SDArt", and an arbitrary token I choose. The dataset is provided below, as well as a list of usernames and their corresponding token.
The recommended sampling is k_Euler_a or DPM++ 2M Karras on 20 steps, CFGS 7.5 .
