Clear Theme +1 Total 1 points One of these days you’re going to have to share your prompt. I am curious what you use to get these results (though part of me thinks it might be better not to know :)
;)
Bing prompt was “A highly detailed face pretending to be a spooky mask. San rio style, cgi”
Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points That’s definitely a spooky mask. But it’s your prompt that makes it extra spooky, considering that this is supposed to be a face and not a mask.
I don’t know if it’s my connection, but your image isn’t showing. The image URL doesn’t seem to work either.
Edit: nevermind, it’s back again!Mander went hard down for the last day or so, likely from that.
It’s a while I haven’t partaken in a community challenge, so here is my contribution, Glad to see how active it became.
Prompt A mysterious mask, lying on an altar, ritual knife, fantasy
Seed: 5823057, Dimensions: 512x512, Sampler: euler, Inference Steps: 75, Guidance Scale: 7.5, Model: dreamshaper_8, Negative Prompt: low quality, Prompt Strength: 0
I haven’t switched to XL as my PC is too old for that version, so good old dreamshaper does the trick
It’s good to have you back, Ziggurat :)
I know it’s originally meant for Midjourney, but would still like to share this link for those of us looking for some inspiration.
The many masks of MidjourneyDalle using chatgpt:
Fine art black and white photograph focusing solely on the mask worn by the king of autumn. The emphasis is on the interplay of light and shadow across the mask’s organic materials. The twigs form a delicate lattice, while the moss and feathers add layers of complexity and texture.
Bing/DALLE3: “costume mask made out of water”
Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points That’s a great idea to make one out of water!
My first go at an AI image was the other day on the Your username is the prompt post which was great fun…I’ve only got access to the free webpage generators so this is my effort
‘vibrant tribal mask inspired by dinosaurs and adorned with feathers’
Done using Craiyon
Nice mask, and welcome to the community :)
Maybe it would be a good idea to have a post pinned with some information for those who want to get started with AI image generation.
Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points Thank you for the mask! It’s a good first effort and I hope you’ll continue to contribute!
I haven’t used it myself, but I think the Bing Image Creator is free as well and it has a much better quality. Maybe you can try it out and see if it works for you?Tried the Bing AI and BEHOLD!!!
What a bobby dazzler!
Like night and day :) That looks so much nicer.
Dalle using chatgpt:
Black and white close-up photo of the king of autumn’s mask. The moss, twigs, and feathers are displayed in intricate detail, revealing the texture and patterns. The mask’s elements seem to come alive, with every strand of moss and feather visible, giving a sense of depth and dimension.
You can only submit one image for the challenge. As much as I like both of them, could you please remove one?
You can post the removed one as a reply to your original comment if you still like to show it off, that’s fine. The original comment will be the one that counts for the challenge.Ah didn’t know! Thanks I’ll remove one!
Here’s an image of my own. Of course I’m excluded from being able to win. I just like to participate.
Prompt:cyberpunk style, illustration, panoramic shot, Cyberpunk traditional pagan mask, worn by shopkeeper, shopkeeper is leaning on the counter, in an antiquities store --stylize 75 --v 5.2 --ar 4:3
Made with DALL-E 3 and ChatGPT 4.
Prompt:
Photorealistic image of a porcelain mask representing a barn owl. The porcelain is glazed with a rich shade of purple, giving it a lustrous finish. Instead of traditional feathers, the mask boasts meticulously cut amethyst gemstones, each resembling the form of a feather. These gemstone feathers glisten in varying shades of purple, harmonizing with the glazed porcelain. The mask's facial details are accentuated with golden gilding, and the eyes emit a mesmerizing gold glow, standing out against the purple backdrop.
I decided to make a matching robe, similar to what @ricecake@sh.itjust.works did with their matching armor.
Prompt:
Photorealistic image of a wizard's robe in a captivating lavender hue. The robe's velvet fabric glimmers subtly, reminiscent of enchanted porcelain. Its trim is uniquely adorned with amethyst gemstones meticulously cut to resemble delicate feathers, each glowing with a variety of lavender shades, suggesting a mystical origin. The robe is richly embroidered with golden threads, creating patterns of arcane symbols and ancient lore across its surface. It features dramatically wide sleeves and a high, pointed collar, elements that are emblematic of a wizard's dignified attire.
Oh man, that robe is awesome! Fits the mask really well too. :)
I really love that robe and wish it was real
