So, i bought an airpods 3 almost two years ago. I was pretty happy with them right up until the warranty was about to expire, when half of the earbuds stopped reliably charging in the case. I brought it into the apple shop, and eventually they exchanged the whole thing, case and airpods. Now, after around half a year later, the issue happened to me twice in a few days. Am i just unlucky, or does the airpods have some fairly significant design fault?

So I decided to start trying landscapes. I was trying to go for an oppressive feel, closed in dark, but as i was trying this and that, switched towards a colder color pallet, and i really liked this. Chatgpt decided to surprise me with a white haired lady with a scythe as a bonus, and i can't complain really. Hope you guys like this one :)

I'm still on the hand - skin - lighting train. Not a whole lot of really good image came out, sadly. It seems the ai can't do tattoos and jewelry very well, and i had a lot of trouble with composition and keeping the tone of the images where i wanted.

I tried my darnest to remove the markings on her clothes but it either showed way too much skin on her chest for my taste, or screwed her face up. I usually try to keep her neck clean but i let that go this time around because the tattoos turned out extra spooky, which i liked.

I think i will stop posting her for a while now though, I'm not sure there is a whole lot more that would be different enough to post in such a short succession. I hope you guys will enjoy this last one though :)

So my creative juices really got flowing with the tattoo idea, and pursued it a little further.

Now, back in the day a reason why I stopped generating images was that it all felt a little hollow and meaningless. This time around i am trying my best to incorporate some kind of a storytelling within the images themselves, or at least the option of them. I'm currently experimenting with using ai to generate some writing as well, and while I can't yet tell why Celeste is holding this glass sphere, i can tell you that there is going to be a reason that is tied into her abilities as a necromancer.

A fun fact, I tried my best originally to generate an image where the back of her hand faces the viewer, but it seems to be impossible unless you include a face in the image as well. I tried pose references and all and it just wouldn't happen.

Thanks for upvoting my last post and showing interest :)

Someone asked how i got the image posted yesterday of Celeste, so here it goes.

I used chatgpt, and originally started iterating on a female necromancer type character. When i got this image, it really stuck with me and i started thinking about what is next.

"intricate, mystical tattoos on her back, arms, or sides. Symbols should feel old, esoteric—think celestial diagrams, runes, delicate linework."

"The space should feel sacred and strange, more like a sanctuary than a home"

I think was this was the two lines that did most of the heavy lifting in the previous image, with explicitly stating that i didn't want any eroticism or lady-bits in the image.

I have a few more of her that turned out great i think, if people are interested, but i don't want to flood the sub so let me know if you are interested.

I started playing around with chatgpt after not generating anything for two years. I thought this turned out haunting as heck
