In the beginning, sometimes I would use a freeware engine, Perchance AI, which is free, and without a login. But I have found over time, that I wasn't satisfied with most of the results that I was getting, so I only use it for things that are not that important. There was another engine that I used to use in the beginning, but I seem to have forgotten the name of it. Might have been NightCafe, or it might have been something else. Most of the time, I have been using Leonardo AI. 

Here's an example of something I came up with on Leonardo, something unreleased. Suburban California. 

Bump.

Where is everybody?  Seems to me that there ought to be more interest!     

Here's a couple I've done.     I'm using a local Stable Diffusion Forge install.

This is what I was looking for. Something local. I had to go and make my hockey mascot for the LA Kings riding a surfboard at the beach

Glad you found it, SD.  

Wow, sorry for the delay in finishing my post.   I live in a rural area and we lost internet as I was entering my post above.

Anyway, I've tried a great number of "online" generator services, and always grew frustrated with the limitations to Model / Lora / Prompt complexity, etc, so started using a local install solution.    Forge seems to be the best combination of ease of use, and depth of features to explore.   ComfUI looks to be the top of the heap as far as "the most you can do with it", but has a steep learning curve.
