The brief combined the medieval architecture of Northern Europe with the lush charm of a Mediterranean-style city. I wanted to use an offline bespoke model, directly controlling the rendering style and lighting through crafted prompts. Additionally, I incorporated an extra lora model, various layout ControlNet images and enhanced the detail using upscaling passes.

​

The results were partially successful. The style captured the concept's essence, especially its mood, creating attractive scenes. But on closer inspection these unedited images struggle to maintain correct object scaling in the distance, leading to illogical scenery. Due to the lack of accurate real world fantasy data, such styles may always have a small degree of design 'confusion', and will strongly benefit from human direction.

​

Ultimately, while these over detailed images serve more as a benchmark test than accurate production art, they provide valuable insights into AI's current capabilities and limitations.
