Delavestra's Background, Journey, and Basic Workflow:
I've always had a passion for digital beautiful art. Video game character creation screens have always had more playtime for me from an early age, and as technology and now AI advance, the ability to make what I wanted to see became more accessible.
With a BS and MS in engineering, I started playing with Stable Diffusion models in 2023. Fascinated by the technology and its capabilities, and the fact that it got better literally weekly, I became a hobbyist/student of the craft, and paid attention to all the tools and techniques.
After a year of playing with my own creations, I was noticing my work was consistently better than the average creator. I was encouraged to share my work and started posting in mid 2024. The response was overwhelmingly positive, so I've continued my process and endless learning and experimentation.
I enjoy the endless progression of visual eyecandy that's ever better and more refined. My initial work vs what I produce today is quite different, and the future will only get better.
I'm always experimenting and testing the latest models and capabilities, so stick around and watch the latest and greatest in AI Image and Animation generation unfold right here.
Regarding HOW I make my work:
I use the FORGEUI and COMFYUI to run stable diffusion models (combinations of SDXL, PONY (which is a spinoff of sdxl), FLUX, and any new models that pop up like HIDREAM and the ones that will release in the coming weeks/months). I use blends of Models, LORAs, extensions, prompting techniques, and other workflows to produce my final images. The entire workflow is quite complex, so I produce content and image/animations sets with a staggered workflow.
If you want to learn this craft, simply youtube 'stable diffusion' or how to use stable diffusion and watch any and all tutorials. I don't make tutorials myself as there's already a HUGE amount of content out there on how to produce AI ART. Making the best AI Images and animations is where I spend my time!
