[Old Workflow] Create art with AI using InvokeAI Unified Canvas

In this video I show how to make art with AI by creating two new images from sketch (digital painting) to final render using InvokeAI's new Unified Canvas and Stable Diffusion.

Model Used:

Prompt:
red panda knight holding pole axe, Banner Saga and Artgerm, 8k, highly detailed, exquisite [grainy out bad+ poor low basic amateur+ blurry haze worst juvenile unprofessional+ failure crayon beginner] [oil thousand hands dance car bird plane city house sports text watermark]

This is amazing. Shows the sheer potential of these open source tools. So glad everyone has access to these tools and the ability to train their own models.

THIS is a BEAUTIFUL example of an Artist using AI as.a. TOOL! 💡

[albertbozesan]

Incredible. I love how close you were able to keep it to your original sketch. You had a very clear plan from the start, enough artistic skill to put it on the page, and then used the AI as the tool it was meant to be. Can't wait to try this out!

[RamiJames]

I can't describe how excited I am by this tech

[milestrombley]

Proof artists and ai can work together.

Fantastic tool for artists who have the technical and artistic fundamentals- because they can paint over, refine, fix, adjust.
I think AI assisted artists will be a great thing for the first while.

If there was ever any argument for AI being art this would be it. You started out with a panda and you ended up with, what most of us would agree looks like a very distinguished fox.
If that doesn't underscore the creativity that it takes, let's not forget that you having to go through and manually manipulate the image time and again time, adding the gauntlet, the background fire and smoke elements, and going into Photoshop and making mask to make certain elements come forward. If that doesn't underscore creativity I don't know what does.

I test the image prompt on an empty canvas first. It saved me a lot of time with img2img, when the prompt resembles the input image well (small details, perspective, …).

Yes this is exactly what i was looking for, thankyou for putting the video out for it

3min into the video and already sub'ed ! great tutorial - thank you !

Real artists needs to watch this video. As amazing as this tech is I'm pretty sure a good artist can paint something like this manually in the same amount or less time. This is the type of production workflow ai would be adopted and ai isn't perfect as this video shows. It's a very helpful tool indeed but its not going to kill all the artist jobs.

[googleyoutubechannel]

Good to see what the state of the art workflow for cutting edge AI is like for a professional artist. As an amateur this is kind of what I expected.... SD is basically a fast, enthusiastic, but shoddy, colorist with poor sense of depth (amazing it gets any at all from only raster understanding of world)

Hey patrick, killin it as usual in this one

[dissonancE..]

This has been my workflow from the beginning. This and using it to generate stocks (say a cave or textures) for photobashing without needing to spend hours collecting the right stocks. I also love passing my old art through as well to give it a fresh ai update and see what I can get. Another great video Patrick 👍

Have you checked out the noise painting technique by Lynn Cole?

[gaetanoisgro]

Having this working with AMD GPUs would be amazing, such a funny tool

[wizards-themagicalconcert]

Great content mate, well done, subbed !

[gohan]

I've been trying this with photo realistic portraits. I'm no where near as comfortable as you are here but I'm learning slowly. Your video will certainly help. Please consider doing a video on non cartoony images such as photo realistic.

[nuvotion-live]

Great tutorial. Now that photoshop has some of these image synthesis features do you find yourself using Invoke less?

[loremipsumexe]

a wide angle shot with foreshortening may be easier to produce by first overshooting the margins so as not to mess with the silhouette of the subject during the iteration process, and then cropping for a final result.

[gogidolim]

This is exactly what I want. But I want to create something like busy wet market scene without any central characters.
