    You’re not getting past this bouncer

    Prompt

    ChatGPT came up with the punny name on its own:

    A large, heavy animal, resembling a buffalo, dressed as a bouncer at a cyberpunk-themed nightclub in an all-animal world. The club, named ‘Byte the Dust’, showcases a grungy, cyberpunk aesthetic, with a neon sign that’s bold and futuristic. The buffalo bouncer is wearing high-tech, neon-lit glasses and a distinctive cyberpunk mohawk. The outfit is a rugged, cybernetic ensemble with metallic accents. It stands imposingly at the club entrance, which features rough textures, rusted metal, and dimly lit neon lights. The buffalo’s expression is tough and unwavering, in harmony with the gritty cyberpunk theme. The artwork should be in a realistic style, highlighting the formidable presence of the buffalo and the intense, neon-tinged atmosphere of ‘Byte the Dust’.

    Prompt: 1000s of monkeys sitting at typewriters, orderly rows, dystopian, digital art, ultra HD, 4k, close up, bokeh, depth of field

    Workflow: Low effort. I was on my phone when I came up with the idea so I just used Bing/Copilot/DALL-E, iterated on prompts until I finally got a good image with the typewriters facing the correct direction… Though having them face the wrong way did have a level of humour to it.

    (first time here, so hopefully I don’t break any rules!)

      Not only did you not break any rules (That I can think of) but you did a great job. Effort does not always equate to quality, but repetition often does.

      Pretty smart idea, feel like the 1000 monkey typing hypothesis has been discussed quite often, so I guess we needed one in that contest. Also somehow a great metaphor of AI generating images and texts

        I had that same thought about AI generating images and text. I almost called it “Generative Pre-trained Monkeys”…

    Here’s my submission.

    The prompt : an ape wearing a zoo guardian’s costume and cap, walking in an outside zoo enclosure with grass on the ground. The ape is holding a box that says “Human food”. Around him, some humans are kneeling on all four, in their underwear only, waiting to get food from the ape. Realistic photo.

    You need tough guys to patrol on these streets

    Prompt/Workflow

    Made with Stable Diffusion XL in Fooocus.

    Initial image was redered with these settings:

    {
    "Prompt": "a gorilla (dressed as police:1.3), Rim Lighting, (empty street:1.5), neon signs, raining, digital art, sign that says NIGHT CLUB, cyberpunk city background",
    "Negative Prompt": "police in background",
    "Fooocus V2 Expansion": "a gorilla (dressed as police:1.3), Rim Lighting, (empty street:1.5), neon signs, raining, digital art, sign that says NIGHT CLUB, cyberpunk city background, intricate, elegant, highly detailed, sharp focus, perfect dynamic light, professional composition, dramatic, cinematic, breathtaking, new bright colors, inspired, designed, rich",
    "Styles": "['Futuristic Cyberpunk Cityscape', 'Fooocus V2']",
    "Performance": "Quality",
    "Resolution": "(1024, 1024)",
    "Sharpness": 2,
    "Guidance Scale": 4,
    "ADM Guidance": "(1.5, 0.8, 0.3)",
    "Base Model": "bluePencilXL_v050.safetensors",
    "Refiner Model": "None",
    "Refiner Switch": 0.5,
    "Sampler": "dpmpp_2m_sde_gpu",
    "Scheduler": "karras",
    "Seed": 3644486667727718124,
    "LoRA 1": "sd_xl_offset_example-lora_1.0.safetensors : 0.1",
    "LoRA 2": "texta.safetensors : 1.0",
    "Version": "v2.1.864"
}

    Then I outpaint left/right twice and a third time for top and bottom with a sligtly changed prompt that asked for neon signs in kanji, as it would only generate variations of “police” or “club” on the signs otherwise:

    "Prompt": "a gorilla (dressed as police:1.3), Rim Lighting, (empty street:1.5), neon signs in kanji, raining, digital art, sign that says NIGHT CLUB, cyberpunk city background"

    Empty Latent 1216 x 832, clip_scale 2.0

    Overall a pretty vanilla generation.

    Bing: started with draw a picture of a pig being a garbage disposal underneath a kitchen sink and got these:

    I had to give a bit more detail for what i wanted. Mostly making the pig smaller and also not actually part of the sink.

      Image comment posts from Kbin won’t show up for Lemmy users, so I’m reposting this here so other people can see your image.

      Please upvote wagesj45’s comment above and not this one.

      Love the colour palette in here btw, very calming and relaxing.

    Geese have been used as guardian animals for hundreds of years.
    Therefore, Security Goose!


    Niji prompt: a cute goose wearing a security guard uniform and holding a flashlight, peering alertly around with narrowed eyes, the goose is on the lookout for intruders, night scene --ar 4:3 --niji 6

    I wanted to make an anthropomorphic goose at first. But this one is just too cute in his little jacket, hat and… flashlight holder? Don’t think too hard about that last one please :)

    A few extras:
