This illustration is a BL concept art piece, modified by hand on top of an output generated by Stable Diffusion, which was trained on my own hand-drawn artworks. The base of this work began from an output produced by loading my previous work (https://twitter.com/weiss_kurosaki_/status/1743596011514413374) into Stable Diffusion's i2i feature and setting the denoising strength to 1. The result was a serendipitous rough draft, quite different from the original but turned out looking like a main visual of a BL game. Captivated by this surprise and excitement, I decided to complete it as a finished artwork.
While the spontaneously generated visual world and characters were attractive, their anatomy and objects' structure were far from accurate. Wanting to see how it would look in its correct form, I applied corrections in Clip Studio Paint and post-processing in Photoshop.
