This is my entry to II AI Art on Steem Contest - 🐟Under the Sea 🧜♀️- Prizes in Steem, if you want to participate click here
This past days, after the first contest I have been learning about stable diffusion and models, it´s changing my mind, maybe midjourney isn´t the best afterall. I also found out that you can use Google Colab to install stable diffusion and some models in the cloud as you have a virtual powerful, fast and free computer (you have to pay to use premium options and have better virtual computer)
Here is a good tutorial wich explains in 1 minute how to setup all of that, is easier than you think, try it <3
I was trying to generate images like "Gal Gadot as a mermaid", "bioshok rapture like landscape", "a sunken galleon with an antient treasure", "Jellyfish and seahorses", "marine dragon", etc, the images were cool, but I wanted something even better. So here are the options I used and the final result:

| Batch size | 2 |
| CFG Scale | 7 |
| Seed | -1 (Random) |
I wanted to add more things to the result, so I used inpainting, that is changing parts of the image to change them for other generated images, for example you can paint a rock and say you want a shark instead and it will erase the rock and put a shark there in the same style of the image with respect for the background, it blends so well. This process taked like an hour and a half to two hours:
