Welcome!
My name's Blue Tomato. I am a developer with most of my experience making games and game tools using Blender and the Unity game engine. I have been very interested in machine learning and generative AI for quite some time now, and when stable diffusion rolled around I quickly started playing with it.
Since then I have learned a ton, written several extensions for the AUTOMATIC1111 Web UI, and generated thousands of images (it's a problem).
I take great pleasure in generating a good image, and then editing it further to fix mistakes, manually paint in details, and add post-processing effects such as color grading. I had long intended to create a gallery for some of these cleaned up works, but... you know... *gestures wildly*
But here it finally is! Not all images in the gallery are touched up, but I am being picky about which unedited ones I put in there. If there's any interest, let me know and I might just add a mega dump of all my half-decent results as well.
Some of you may know me from other avenues, be it twitter, friends, or (former) coworkers. And some of you may object to generative AI, and that's totally fine! All I ask is that, if you are staunchly against generative AI, you are doing so for the right reasons. Here is my reasoning as to why I personally do feel comfortable creating and using generated art.

But Blue, don't you realize AI art is unethical?!
