Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)

Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.

I couldn’t resist and had to try your prompt in Midjourney :)
https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/a1ee7a43-3f68-400e-ad49-db021ef4f5e7.jpeg

My experience with Dall-e and chatgpt is that chat gpt takes your request and generates a prompt for dall-e to use. You can actually ask chat-gpt why it was blocked and if it can find away to rephrase the prompt to get around the block.
It might not always work, but it might be worth a try.

Evil has awakened [Midjourney] (sh.itjust.works)

Prompt: EGA pixel drawing, of a medieval wanderer standing on a wooded hill, in the background below can be seen rolling forest hills with a wizard’s tower in the distance, a fierce vertical pillar of evil green energy erupts from the tower and pierces the cloudy night’s sky, causing stark contrast with the peaceful...

Yea, it’s not actually EGA but it does seem to come closer to the early 90’s in terms of style and design.
I have no idea how effective it really is, I just added it on a whim.

Prompt: sci-fi movie still, of a scared lego astronaut aiming a pistol, at a huge normal cat, on a dining table, cinematic lighting --ar 4:3

Thank you for the compliment!
I really don’t know, it’s a bit of an organic process. I usually start with a style or gimmick I’d like to use and go from there.

For this one I wanted to do a lego one because it seemed like fun and astronauts are very doable in lego.
At first I wanted to do a space madness kind of thing, where a human astronaut was slowly transforming into a lego character, but that was a bit too much to ask. So I figured let’s put a lego astronaut in a normal setting but make it an adventure. The cat was a logical next step :)

And I make a LOT of tries and variations with the prompt. But seeing all the weird and wonderful failed images is half the fun :)

Oh my god, now I remember Flickr! I’ve totally forgotten about them for years. I think I had an account there about… 20 years ago?
Urgh, time just keeps marching on doesn’t it?

You can already see some of this in the new style reference and character reference parameters being used in Midjourney. Basically they allow you to maintain consistency between different images for characters and overall style.
It’s not perfect, but I can imagine it being very useful when they manage to improve on it.

They’ll have a nice chat about their day, it washes his back. He washes… the back of it’s eyeball.
And anything that might follow is completely consensual.
It says so in the title, bath buddies :)

I’ve added a link to an upscaled version should anyone want to print or do anything else with it.
I’d be happy to have it printed as a couple of stickers, but I think the postage would be killing :)

Because she’s a bug, not a feature.
It’s a bad pun, I know :)

thelsim,
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yea, a helpful little gremlin, but still… a gremlin. You’re having trouble with your computer, open it up, and there’s that bug again “helping” in all the wrong ways.

Originally I just wanted to make an image of a computer full of ants and with a title like “My computer is full of bugs”. But then I kind of switched to the cute little ant, and I lost track of what I was trying to do :)

That’s not very nice, poor Groknak was cursed with a small head ever since he pranked his tribe’s witch doctor. Feeling bad about the whole affair, the chief treated him to this fashion shoot to help him improve his self-image.
And you just had to focus the attention to his head, tsk tsk, for shame. shakes head

You do your thing @Groknak, don’t let the haters pull you down.
