Stable Diffusion images on the internet tend to be similar. Portraits of beautiful women in realistic illustration style, anime, etc. They are usually produced with custom models. There’s nothing wrong with them, but you should understand that it’s just a tiny subset of what Stable Diffusion can do.
In this post, you will see images with diverse styles generated with Stable Diffusion 1.5 base model.
They are all generated from simple prompts designed to show the effect of certain keywords. This page can act as an art reference. You will see the exact keyword applied to two classes of images: (1) a portrait and (2) a scene. I illustrate both because they can produce different visual effects.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try.
Can I use your examples in my website, or least the art styles you have picked?
Yes.
Is there a way to find out what art style (or model) someone used in an image? I have seen reverse prompt sites, but they tend to do a fairly poor job.
It’s pretty hard in principle. The best is to download the image and look at the png info, if people leave it there.
Also very useful
