Stable Diffusion has taken the world by storm as one of the hottest new AI image generation models. With the addition of ControlNet, Stable Diffusion can be guided to create artwork that blurs the line between real and imaginary. In this post, I’ll show you how to use these tools to make your own surreal AI art.

• Stable Diffusion is an open source AI model that creates images from text prompts. It can generate anything from landscapes to portraits, but lacks control over composition.
• ControlNet was developed to guide Stable Diffusion, giving more precise control over image generation.
• By combining these two models, you can create imaginative artwork with custom templates.

This technique works best with a template image to guide the AI. I’ll be using a chessboard, but you can also try spiral patterns or a 9-frame grid.

#1. Input Your Prompt and Settings

Simply enter a text prompt describing what you want to generate, adjust the strength of your template image, and let the AI do the rest!

#2. Generate Surreal Artwork

In just seconds you’ll have unique AI generated artwork that combines your template with the imagined scene described in your prompt. Feel free to keep experimenting with new prompts and settings.
