I wanted to test the abilities of what NovelAI can do in terms of reproducing Art Styles and Art Movements. Anything from old techniques as well as modern and fad ones. In this experiment I tried out a total of 204 different styles with the exact same prompt and the exact same settings in terms of seed, scale, steps, options and output size. I’ve used a multitude of sources to gather the different techniques; Wikipedia articles, “top ten” lists from all around the web. I will willingly confess that I’m not very well versed in most of these styles.
I generated all of these in one big batch over the course of a few hours. I chose the prompt based on what would yield a picture that was exact enough to be repeatable, but still not influence the effects too much.
Panting of a beautiful woman, small breasts, intricate dress, soft smile, long hair, eyes, Painted in the style of {{{{______}}}}
Model used is NAI Diffusion Anime (Full), Steps 28, Scale 11, Quality Tags On, Seed 2239508625, Undesired Content Low Quality + Bad Anatomy.
Many of the techniques and effects yielded no particular effect, so in the end I ended up with 172 images out of the 204 prompts. The images that didn’t make the cut were either all almost exactly the same as the ground truth image or didn’t represent the technique at all.
I've recieved additional input from other people in the r/NovelAI subreddit, I've marked those with an 🛈. Hovering the 🛈 will show the name of the person who supplied the image. These are genereated using the exact same settings as I've used.
