I'd like to thank everyone whom I have met here on mastodon, for your support, encouragement, and friendship. It's been a fun journey.

Tonight will be my last post (9pm MST). I'll monitor my feed for the two weeks it takes for that last post to auto-delete. Then I'll be turning off the lights.

If your ever on BSky, say hello! I'm using the same handle there.

G'night everyone. Best to you all.

I decided to do some modern abstract kind of stuff tonight and was getting really poor results.

At first, I thought it was the model, but changing models didn't really help. My images continued to be too "normal".

I finally figured out it was one of my "go-to" LoRAs: xl_more_art-full_v1. It does exactly what it says, but but in a traditional sense of composition and style -- not what you want for modern art.

I will no longer be using/following the hashtags "midjourney", "stablediffusion", nor "sdxl"

Also, I've rethought my stance on artistic nudity and have decided to remove content I've posted that contains it.

Lastly, please note that I will simply ban anyone attacking the use of generative AI art.
