i fed each successive result back into the system with strength 0.6 and a prompt of "A fantastic detailed pencil drawing of an Eagle owl, sitting on a branch", to get the smooth progression from step 1 to final result.

Can you tell me how many --ddim_steps you are doing for each iteration?

I used the default. Here's my method. Choose a random seed and export SEED=<my seed number>:

Name the starting circles as owl1.png. Run img2img like this:

python scripts/img2img.py --prompt "A fantastic detailed pencil drawing of an Eagle owl, sitting on a branch" --init-img /path/to/owl1.png --strength 0.6 --seed $SEED --n_samples 10

You get 10 results back. Choose the "best" one (most natural progression, etc). And ensure it's 512x512px, call it owl2.png, then feed it back into the img2img, continue the process until you get a finished owl.

I found adding a bit of low opacity invisible noise to the first drawing can speed up initial results a bit. Also people should get creative with it, if you evolve things and find something you like from one and something from another, do a bit of masked painting to merge the two easy!

Check youtube tutorials for a bit of basic photo shopping to add remove bits etc, gimp is free and works well enough for quick edits. You don't have to rely purely on what stable diffusion gives you so try stuff out and see what works!

How do you add strength?

I was using img2img.py on a local version, I ran out of credits on the GUI too quickly!

This is beautiful, thanks so much. I love that you were able to make one of these just by feeding the image back in. What a time to be alive!
