Introducing the Civitai Failed Generations Contest!
Civitai is launching a new Artist in Residence program: Air.civitai! This will be open for submission in a couple of weeks but for now, we are building out the homepage for this new program.
Get your image featured on the homepage of Air.civitai by submitting your failed generations. We're looking for the images (or videos) that have broken the system, the prompts that should've worked but didn't, and the meticulous combination of resources that could've produced something marvelous, but instead failed spectacularly. We want works that push the limits of what our systems can do by revealing where they fail.

What we're looking for:
Entries should capture the moment when the system breaks down. We want mistakes, blunders, blow-ups, confusions, chaos, artifacts, anarchy, or simple pandemonium. Pick the prettiest ones, the most grotesque, the shocking (abide by the rules) - comedy is accepted and even encouraged.
Pull from happy accidents, or intentionally induce breakage. Stack as many resources as you can in the on-site generator, rip prompts out of context, use poems or newspaper articles, chopped and screwed. Animate rejection, breathe life into monsters and embrace the chaos. Peel back the bits, show us the edges of the tools we know and love, or build new ones intentionally designed to fail. All bets are off.

Random waifus, unrelated content, or images that don’t immediately make you think “Oh, that's remarkably insane".
