I tried to render a random landscape using the 'Oil Painting - Old' style and it came out pretty good, not 'digital' in any way; but the default generator is quite limited. For example, you can't set the 'Guidance Scale' that is automatically set to the default value of 7, but for a painting-style should be lower, roughly 4 to 6.
You can try again with the default generator, adding at the end of your prompt:
(guidanceScale:::4)
including the brackets and the three colons :::
OR you can try a more art-oriented generator like https://perchance.org/wallpaper-konbini
where you can manually set the Guidance Scale and choose one of the many painting styles.

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

I'm having no end of trouble with the image generators at the moment, even though i'm specifying professional photo or oil painting - realism in the art style drop down, it just keeps generating nothing but cartoon or anime style pictures, even the the generators that have a guidance scale option is doing nothing to solve this. Professional Photo seems to only slightly generate something that looks like a oil painting, but alot of stuff is just coming out as too cartoony for my liking, and not having a working negative prompt is killing alot of it for me. Also the generation has been so painfully slow these days, sometimes one image taking several minutes to generate, I know they did a server migration the other week but alot of stuff is still really shit at the moment and no where near as good and reliable as it was last year.
