Species

This model is mostly an experiment to see if I could add various concepts that I wanted into the base model. I think it worked well enough so I'm sharing in case anyone else also wants those things

trained at 768x768 using EveryDream2

concepts included:

  • "Centaur" and "x taur" (where x is some animal, "deer", "cat", etc), both of these work really well across multiple styles and characters, although you will occasionally get a horse or a mutant

  • "slime girl" (or "boy", "woman", etc.) also works very consistently

  • "Klingon" works very well, "bat'leth" is in there but sucks.

  • "Twi'lek" works well, but messes up the head tails about as often as it does arms

  • "Trill" works okay, but tends to add spots in the wrong places, probably needed more training

  • "genie" works okay, but sometimes just gives a middle eastern person, which is cringe

  • "Ferengi", gets the head shape good, but faces are a bit weird

  • "Asari" works really well, does men fine even though there were none in training data

  • "Dryad" was something the model kinda knew already, but I think it's better now

  • "Satyr" works pretty well, occasionally it thinks "centaur" for no reason I understand

  • "Cardassian" works nicely

  • "Drider" works, but tends to render far away to show the spider's body, so faces need fixing

  • "Tortle" is good, "ninja tortle" does too ;)

  • it's silly but I added "foodfolk" in

  • "Myconid" generally works, although it wants to just do people with mushroom hats a lot

  • "gorgon" is alright. sometimes it even gets the snake heads kinda okay. wants them to be screaming, so I should have labeled facial expressions better. added a bit of "naga" as well, and the two mix well

  • "ghost" was already in there, but is a bit better trained now

  • "harpy" works sometimes, although I'm not super happy with it, same for "sphinx"

  • "giant x" works pretty well given context, like "walking in a tiny city" or "in the mountains"

  • "tiny x" works sometimes, but is inconsistent. definitely needs context. "trapped in a jar" or "on a giant table" work fairly well

  • "transformation sequence" I added on a lark, and wasn't expecting it to work well. It doesn't exactly work well, but it's better than I expected. "transformation sequence, man into woman" works the best, but "transformation sequence, x into y" is the format and sometimes works for whatever. "3-part" likewise works most consistently, but you can make it a long image and do a larger "x-part" too. you'll almost definitely need to fix some details (especially faces)

feedback welcome! I'll be doing more versions with more species I think, so let me know which ones you want the most

What is Species?

Species is a highly specialized Image generation AI Model of type Safetensors / Checkpoint AI Model created by AI community user Erin_Hopes. Derived from the powerful Stable Diffusion (SD 1.5) model, Species has undergone an extensive fine-tuning process, leveraging the power of a dataset consisting of images generated by other AI models or user-contributed data. This fine-tuning process ensures that Species is capable of generating images that are highly relevant to the specific use-cases it was designed for, such as character, general purpose, woman.

With a rating of 5 and over 3 ratings, Species is a popular choice among users for generating high-quality images from text prompts.

Can I download Species?

Yes! You can download the latest version of Species from here.

How to use Species?

To use Species, download the model checkpoint file and set up an UI for running Stable Diffusion models (for example, AUTOMATIC1111). Then, provide the model with a detailed text prompt to generate an image. Experiment with different prompts and settings to achieve the desired results. If this sounds a bit complicated, check out our initial guide to Stable Diffusion – it might be of help. And if you really want to dive deep into AI image generation and understand how set up AUTOMATIC1111 to use Safetensors / Checkpoint AI Models like Species, check out our crash course in AI image generation.

About this version: v0.5

still based on deliberate. version 0.4 was based off of 1.5 but I wasn't happy with my results, so I didn't bother publishing. will try again probably

took out the overwatch characters, those will probably get their own model at some point

  • "Ferengi", gets the head shape good, but faces are a bit weird

  • "Asari" works really well, does men fine even though there were none in training data
