VQgan+Clip fantasy sketches

Painting practice with Disco diffusion.
Tools used: Disco diffusion Colab and Photoshop.
I generated a bunch of images with the Disco diffusion model, enlarged them, and painted on top of them. Each image is roughly 1,5 hours of painting. Getting the images from the Disco diffusion model took significantly longer, trying out different prompts until I had something decent.

I wrote a small blogpost about how to make these images here: https://www.artstation.com/blogs/stijn/B276/ai-sketches-with-vqgan-and-clip-for-concept-art
