Similar to The Gaze, this is a parody of Caleb Worcester's once-steadfast affinity with his formulaic art style that was designed to maximize revenue. Somewhat ironically, it seems that this art style is driving some traffic to this community here on Lemmy. I'm not saying I hate this art style, but I do think it's funny that even the first major public release of Stable Diffusion could nail it without much trouble. I think it goes to show you how unoriginal Caleb's stuff used to be. Heck, I even made a post ages ago on Reddit detailing how he had even failed to properly credit people when he used their CC-BY 3D assets. From what I can tell, though, he's straightened up his act and is really starting to produce some unique stuff, all in Blender.
In any case, this piece was one of a few initial tests I did with Stable Diffusion, even before the weights were made publicly available. I've since grown to love how it integrated tightly with my existing Photoshop workflow, and it's allowed me to amplify the kinds of public-domain-licensed artwork I'm able to create.
