@Katiew552 I've been in this place with a teenage ex. Which went into our 20's, yielding nights is saying "life's too short" , the yolo of olde, to each other before we do something stupid. It's beautiful as a writer, the storied romance of it. As a person it feels shitty .

Happiest #TEZOSTUESDAY to all. Today I have a new collection of something Ive deeply loved. The collection is called Hëdz and its an exploration I did after getting a client job for a logo. I found some beautiful things generating these simple two color images.

Had to do my classic prompt in svd 1.1. love the way it generates the image first then uses it as an init been my workflow for a while but great to have it integrated with the tool. Filmmakers familiar with previs will totally get it

Made this for my wife. Ran images til I found an init I liked then ran an animation off that while fiddling with noise schedules in deforum. Took me 4 hours of generating/curating, about an hour of editing. Would do it all again for love. She's not on twitter, wanted to share
