phaninc

Phaninc is a model based on my cyberpunk tumblr blog phantasyinc. One thing that has frustrated me with AI art is the generic quality of prompting for cyberpunk imagery, so I went through my blog and curated a dataset for 25 new keywords to get the results I desire. I have been heavily inspired by the work of nousr on robodiffusion whose model gave me a lot of results I love.

I have utilised the new FAST dreambooth method, and run it at 20000 steps on 684 images (around 800 steps per concept). At the time of writing the model is still training but I thought I would use my training time to summarise my intent with each keyword. I expect there to be problems and some of my experiments to not pan out so well, but I thought I would share. Post training update: the entire model is contaminated, most prompts are gonna churn out cyberpunk work, but the keywords are still good against one another and work as desired, and the base model has had some interesting lessons taught to it.

phanborg This set was the first to be tested, it is a combination of portraits of cyborgs much like phancyborg and phandroid. The difference between the three is that phanborg uses a combination of images with the face covered and uncovered by machinery, while phancyborg uses only uncovered cyborgs and phandroid only covered cyborgs. The images used in all three are entirely different so that I can play with a diversity of trained features with my keywords.

phanbrutal Images I consider a combination of cyberpunk and brutalism.

phanbw This one is one of my more experimental keywords, utilising monochrome cyberpunk images I find quite striking in black and white. However apart from sticking to a cyberpunk theme, there is no consistent subject matter and may just end up being a generic monochrome keyword.

phancircle another experimental keyword, this keyword utilises a selection of architectural, textural and 3d design images with circles and spheres as a recurring motif. My hope is this keyword will help provide a cyberpunk texture to other prompts with a circular motif.

phancity Bleak futuristic cityscapes, but like phanbw this experiment may fail due to being too varied subject matter.

phanconcrete concrete, images of architecture with mostly concrete finishes, might be overkill with phanbrutal above, but I like that there will still be nuanced differences to play with.

phanconsole A command centre needs buttons to beep and switches to boop, this keyword is all about screens and buttons.

phancorridor images of spaceship corridors and facilities to provide a more futuristic interior design.

phancyborg phancyborg is an image selection of cyborgs with some or all of a human face uncovered.

phandraw a selection focused on drawn cyberpunk artwork with bright neon colors and defined linework

phandroid this is where I pay most homage to nousrs robodiffusion, using only cyborgs with their faces concealed or just plain humanoid robots

phandustrial futuristic ndustrial imagery of pipes wires and messes of cables.

phanfashion trying to get that urbanwear hoodie look but with some variations.

phanfem a series of cyberpunk women

phanglitch Glitch art I had reblogged on the blog with a cyberpunk feel. Quite colorful.

phangrunge Dilapidated dens for the scum of the city. Hopefully will add a good dose of urban decay to your prompt.

phanlogo Sleek graphic design, typography and logos.

phanmachine Built with unclear subject matter, phanmachine focuses on the details of futuristic shiny machinery in hopes of it coming out as a style or texture that can be applied in prompts.

phanmecha The three cyborg keywords are sleek and humanoid, phanmecha focuses more on creating unique robot bodytypes.

phanmilitary Future soldiers, man and machine. Likely to attach a gun to your prompt's character.

phanneon Bright neon lights taking over the scene, this feature is what annoyed me with a lot of cyberpunk prompts in ai models. Overall I have it pretty isolated to this keyword, if you want those futuristic glowies.

phanrooms Totally seperate to the rest of the theming, phanrooms is trained on backrooms and liminal space imagery. Which like cyberpunk is of high visual interest to me, and something the base model can sometimes struggle with.

phansterile This is like cyberpunk cleancore, lots of white, very clean, clinical theming.

phantex I don't know why latex outfits are cyberpunk but they just are, these images were selected for the accessorising on top of just the latex outfits.

phanture Abstract textures that were cyberpunk enough for me to put on my blog.
