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.

Worrying what other people think of me.
I know I shouldn’t care, but it’s hard not to.

Walking home at night after your day is over, carrying some last minute groceries for a quick dinner.
The streets are already deserted and the cool summer night’s air adds that special scent that makes you feel so at peace…

Prompt: A woman walking down a tree-lined boulevard along a canal, carrying a plastic white grocery bag, at a summer night, artificial lighting, peaceful atmosphere, shot on disposable camera --ar 3:2 --style raw

This is such a nice challenge, I love the idea.

You’re welcome and thank you as well :)

I wanted to go for a realistic touch because I can really relate with what you were describing. I love that Night Feeling.

Oh, thanks for the cross-post @tal! :)

And again, congrats on a great first year to everyone of us who contributed in making this instance what it is today.
And of course a special thanks to the admins!

I love passion fruit! The inside looks like a bunch of alien eyes, but it tastes so good.
I just wish they had more filling

Prompt: Versus, close-up view of an astronaut, with a large insect-like alien in the background, hanging upside down on a ceiling, in a derelict space ship corridor, dark atmosphere, low angle --ar 4:3 --stylize 70

Upside down, inverted or other kinds of viewpoints are really hard to make! Anyway, here’s my attempt, it barely fits within the theme but I hope you’ll like it anyway :)

So for this I made use of the character reference and combined the images of Marcus Smelvy, from one of my older posts, with a normal Sailor Moon. The results were really good and combined aspects of both. All that was left was to create a scene that works well for this new Sailor Moon.

Thanks! My problem is that I take the theme too literally :)
I really wanted to try and create a sailor moon that’s “just left of normal”. Anyway, I really like what I managed to create and I had fun in the process, and that’s what matters the most.

Yawn. If you pronounce it while sleepy, you actually yawn. And the yawn will sound like the word yawn.

Maybe I’m just sleepy, but I like the word :)

Not just in Italy. Pipo the clown is a very old Dutch children’s TV character.

I’m a bit too young to have watched it, but I still know the first lines of the theme song by heart. It’s that pervasive.

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...

thelsim,
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

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.

thelsim,
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s ok, you’ve earned your spot in the limelight :)
I’ll get my chance again in the future, so don’t worry about me.

thelsim,
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’d leave it up to the host to come up with a creative solution.
It’s all in good fun, I doubt anyone would feel offended if they lost in a tie.

@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

Since thelsim got to choose the theme fairly recently, I’ll make an executive decision and grant next week’s theme to M0oP0o! Good luck, I hope you can choose better than I did 😜

That’s fine. I’d most likely would have done the same. @M0oP0o, enjoy hosting the next challenge. I’ll happily participate again :)

thelsim,
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, I’m sorry. I wish I could help but I’m a bit out of my depth with this one. You might try a local career counselor, but that really depends on where you live and who’s available.

I wish you the best of luck though, I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for.
