I love rugged terrain so I thought I’d try generating a castle built into a towering mountain, going for an angle looking down from high elevation. I figured Stable Diffusion<\/a> would struggle with the concept of both the castle and<\/em> the mountain and<\/em> the angle so I started with generating a number of images of looking down from a high mountain. I selected this picture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I opened the image in GIMP<\/a> and drew in some crude designs for castle battlements that could follow the shape of the mountain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran a number of inpainting generations. I found that it helped to use “snow” in the negative prompt to discourage the light colour becoming snow. I settled on this variation and increased the contrast some:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was good enough for the low-resolution version so I upscaled at this point. That way I could work on inpainting specific areas to clean up or add more detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did a bunch of inpainting for the castle, in sections, with some editing with the GIMP in between inpaints to clean up and guide the direction better. I also inpainted the separate mountain to make it a little more striking. Here’s the end result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
