Hey!

So the story behind this image is that I play a lot of Victoria 3, and i got rather interested in the short-lived country of Rio De La Plata (today's Argentina, Urugay, and some more in South America). I got the idea of trying to create an image that represents something of that, and after some work, i ended up with this image i liked. The flat scenery with the wide river is very representative of the region, and the oncoming storm i think is pretty on brand for the short lived country.

Sadly, if you zoom in, the woman washing her clothes in the focus of the image is very ai-esque in her face and hands, so it's not flawless, but i hope you guys will like it non-the-less.

Theme

The trope normally goes like this: a detective peers at a grainy CCTV still, mutters “enhance”, and the computer obediently sharpens the blur until you can clearly read a number plate reflected in someone’s sunglasses.

This week’s challenge is all about taking a basic little image like a logo or an icon and turning it into a proper, detailed, lifelike picture. It’s a cracking chance to play about and see how far you can push something simple into something brilliant.

Theme

This week's theme is all about blatant cheap knockoffs. The kind of product that rips off the original without any shame.
*ahem* To get ahead of the AI haters. Yes, I am aware of the irony :)

Prompt: A terrible knock-off of a yellow and black rat-like look-a-like doll, with large muscles and weapon accessories, in plastic packaging, the label of the packaging reads "Pokemen" in bold letters, lying in a tray at a flea market --ar 3:4
