5 months agoA mirage from the past that never was.
I just finished the second audio book from The Sandman today and the last story in there was “Ramadan”, which inspired me to create this entry.
Prompt and workflow
This image was created in two steps with SDXL in Fooocus. First step was a 21:11 (1344×704) image with the following prompt to get the mirage in the sky. I then flipped the image upside down and used outpaint on the bottom with a modified prompt
