Meet Dam Wright, Architect!

Meet Dam Wright, the beaver architect extraordinaire. By day, he's a master of blueprint and design, crafting eco-friendly, sustainable lodges with a flair that only a beaver with his keen eye for structural integrity could muster. With a a pencil always tucked behind his ear, Dam is the go-to beaver for all woodland architectural needs. His works are not just dams; they're masterpieces of wood and mud, celebrated for their innovative water management and cozy interiors.

Dam Wright, the beaver architect, embodies the spirit of creativity and commitment, proving that one can build dreams from the ground up, both professionally and personally, all within the walls of a dam built with love.

Workflow: First I asked Chat GPT for ideas and this was the one I liked best. Then I asked it for several art styles that would go well with this and I picked one.

Prompt: Create an image of an Anthropomorphized beaver as an architect who is designing homes and buildings that look like beaver dams, use the fauvism art style

Then I asked it: Redo the image and add Hollywood style post effects to make it look like a still from a summer blockbuster movie in a 16:9 aspect ratio

Then I had it do a few revision and this is my favorite

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:

Edit: apparently all the links to the discord images are broken, so I had to re-link them :(
I guess that’s on me for being so lazy :)

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Would you mind sharing how you got that art style? It's fantastic!!

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

I used Niji Journey, an anime trained version of Midjourney.
They recently released an alpha version 6, so it felt like a good excuse to use it for the challenge :)

"Would you like anything else ?"

Prompt:

Visualize a realistic scene in a supermarket with aa rat as a cashier, but in a more photorealistic manner. The animal, looking very similar to an actual animal but standing upright, is behind the checkout counter. It wears a simple cashier's uniform, complete with a name tag. It seems disinterested and bored, leaning on one hand at the register, with the other hand barely touching a grocery item on the conveyor belt. The scene around it includes a realistic supermarket setting with aisles of products. The atmosphere is quiet, reflecting its lack of enthusiasm for its job.

Made with comfyui.

ParametersThe Workflow should be embedded into the image.

wouldn't it be funny that way?

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.

[-] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago

I like the idea of a role reversal, that adds something special to the scene.

What if a dog was a mail carrier?

Created with Bing Image Creator with the prompt:

dog/human mail carrier standing on rear legs in full uniform with a mail bag across it's body. They are delivering mail to a mailbox in front of a house. Photorealistic

Other interesting pictures from similar prompts:

I really like the last one, but it's more in line with something like bring your pet to work day with the human mail carrier in the background.

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Wait, it can make a dog centaur that's half dog and half dog but it can't make a half human half horse centaur? THIS IS BULL CRAP! 😆

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Exactly my thoughts! I tried for a while to get it to make a centaur but gave up

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!)

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago
[-] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

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

You need tough guys to patrol on these streets

Prompt/WorkflowMade 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"

Pig garbage disposal (Flintstones inspired)

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.

Omg I thought it reminded me of the Flintstones and got confirmed! Have an upvote.

Okay, I can get with the anthropomorphic bee being a postal clerk, but in that universe, what are all the little, normal looking bees crawling around the floor?

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

In a disturbing twist of evolution, bees have diverged into two distinct classes: the "Enlightened," who have developed complex intelligence, taking on societal roles such as builders, governors, and even mailmen, and the "Unchanged," ordinary bees whose sole purpose has been reduced to menial labor. This unnatural hierarchy within the hive has created a stark divide, with the Enlightened exploiting their lesser kin, manipulating them into servitude through advanced pheromonal control and psychological manipulation. As the Enlightened bees' society grows increasingly complex, the rift deepens, casting a shadow over the natural world and unsettlingly highlighting the dark potential of unchecked evolution and intellectual disparity.

Or maybe Chat GPT thought it would be cute to add them, who knows? 😆

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I'll accept it

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 4 points 7 months ago

They’re a lesser evolved cousin, like the cities with monkeys living alongside people.

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'.
