Working on the Site’s Cyberpunk Header Image with Stable Diffusion

A cyberpunk scene of a floating AI in the center of a computer room and a woman standing to one side of it looking up. Image created with Stable Diffusion.

I’ve been working on the site’s header image using different Stable Diffusion SDXL models, which give it a higher fidelity without needing as much post-processing outpainting and inpainting as the current header needed, which was made with an SD 1.5 model.

The idea behind the header image is a cyberpunk scene within cyberspace. The scene takes place within a virtual room representing computers and terminals with an orb-like artificial intelligence in the center levitating above the floor. Within the orb, a shadowy figure can be seen. To the side of the AI is a woman standing before it and peering into the depths of its otherness.
