Stable Diffusion General Guides
Welcome
Here will be an overview of all the guides made for SDG, but this page is still ⚠️WIP⚠️.
Introduction
This whole generative AI thing is so much fun and I learned a lot about it in these past months that I decided to write it down and collect this information in these guides so that they may support others going on the same journey.
The SDG moniker is related to a fine thread on 4chans trash board which initially made me want to try this stuff myself, but these guides are useful for anybody. While they are obviously centred around cute anthropomorphic cartoon animals the technology and techniques are largely the same no matter what type of subjects you want to generate. I also kept them as sfw as possible so that you can show them to your grandma too if you like.
Who knows how long these will stay current with new base models like Flux and Qwen looming on the horizon, but as of this writing the majority of local generation is still using a SDXL v1.0 based model one way or the other. I will try to maintain and expand these guides as new stuff apperas and time permits. If you want to chat with me you can message me on Discord or Civitai if you like.
