Zombie Silhouettes (Generative AI Experiments)

TL;DR // I used Stable Diffusion (SDXL 1.0) to generate silhouette zombie images as assets for use in a Fallout-themed poster.

Background

I was creating a Fallout Vault-Tec themed "Public Service Announcement" poster. The theme was zombies (or 'ghouls') and I wanted some background silhouettes that were zombie-like.

Once again, I reached for Stable Diffusion to go about generating a series of images that I could process and use in the final poster.

If you saw my previous page about People Silhouettes // (Generative AI Experiments) then you'll recognize this as a similar approach.

This is the final image:

Fallout Ghouls Public Service Announcement poster: A pistol each day keeps the ghouls away

The images: originals and silhouettes

For each figure below, the first is the image generated by Stable Diffusion and the second is the mask (silhouette) I created in Affinity Photo. Click any item to see the full resolution image.
