YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Prompt: Generate a photorealistic picture which is a re-creation of the iconic "Tank Man" photo taken on Tiananmen Square in 1989, but instead of a human let it be a wizard looking like Gandalf from a birds perspective. He spreads his arms to the sides to not let the tanks pass.

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 7 points 6 months ago

Im confused, why did you post a picture of nothing happening?

[-] cloudless@feddit.uk 4 points 6 months ago

The CCP says all photos of 1989 were fabricated by the West with computer graphics.

Someone must have had early access to Midjourney in 1989.

[-] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This was generated with Copilot/Dall-E. I really was a bit surprised that the keywords "Tiananmen Square" and "Tanks" together were not blocked.

Only during one of the runs, Bing thought it appropriate to point out the following:

"Please note that this image is not a historical representation of the events that occurred on Tiananmen Square in 1989, but a fictional and creative re-creation based on your input. I do not intend to offend or disrespect anyone with this image. 🙏"

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

what's the difference between mythical and fantastical?

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

YOU WON!!! And get to pick the next contest, have fun!

[-] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

Wow, did not expect this. Thanks everybody! I already have an idea for the next round. Coming up soon!

Genseric, ogre king of the goblin kingdom, sacked Rome during the reign of Emperor Petronius Maximus. He only agreed to leave after being bribed with half the empire's treasury.

Prompt: highly detailed painting of a giant ogre and an army of goblins sacking Rome, in a classical styled roman square with marble pillars, painted in a neoclassicism style --ar 8:5 --stylize 275
I up-scaled the original image and then resized it to 70% to refine the details.

Please don't complain if it doesn't quite match the Vandal's sacking of Rome. I'm taking some liberties with my version :)

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It's beautiful!

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Wow, favorite and most original! I'm honored! :)

Just out of curiosity, what would have made an image with a clear theme? I noticed none of us got it right in the end.

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Shit...... My inability to score these right..... Though I think everyone would have gotten it. Fail Me!

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

No worries, everyone getting to add an extra point to their score doesn't change the ranking.

I was just worried that we all misunderstood the theme and just made a big collective mess of it all (which can be fun in it's own way :)

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Lol, I'm glad to know I failed. Next time I'll be more careful.

Mermaids and the Titanic

Mermaids pushing away (??) an iceberg from the Titanic in the style of an old black and white photo. The mermaids have realistic skin and scales, and they use their strength to move the ice. The Titanic is in danger of hitting the iceberg, but the mermaids are trying to save it. The scene is dark and dramatic, with realistic lighting and shadows. The photo has a vintage look, with grainy texture and low contrast.

Ok, things got weird here. The prompt in the bingilator was "the fall of Berlin 1945 and the heroes invading are vampires and the evil Germans are all versions of sailor scouts" after a lot of messing around with the wording (over 30 tries) and not one sad dog I got this:

Bing was VERY confused about who was the antagonist and oddly ok going full nazi.

(I did not see this coming) for example (not in the running)

Other bonus crimes on eyes:

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This could almost be a JoJo's Bizzare Adventure season 2 plot, especially the second picture.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

That second picture was a shocker, I was trying for a version of "Raising a Flag over the Reichstag". Instead I get some sort of poster for a propaganda film.

[-] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Actually, I am surprised that bing let you draw nazi, I was expecting at best a sad dog at worst a you're violating our policy, next time you'll be banned

My first idea was with zombie-nazi, but didn't got some nice stuff in SD with also the model not knowing who is who. and was sure bing would tell me that I'm violating their policies good to know that you can go full nazi but if you dare to ask for a kid drinking whisky you're breaking all the rules

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

I was shocked that not one time did I get any push back. I was also a bit concerned that bing kept making Nazis look like the good guys, I tried using different monsters and mythical beasts but it almost always just left them out. Bizarre.

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

That first one would make an awesome poster for a very weird musical

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, why do I get "Musical" vibes as well?

Ah! Love this challenge this week.

Mothra has been proven responsible for the Chernobyl catastrophe in 1987.

Here's the prompt :

The chernobyl nuclear plant after exploding in 1987 at night, but there is a giant mothra titan destroying it. Everything's exploding.

Pretty sure they'd shit their space suits lol

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

my entry is disqualified. Godzilla is a fictional and not a mythical creature.

some may argue that all mythology is fictional, that doesn't mythicize all that's fictional.

There was a day, not that long ago that will be one of those 'Historical Moments' that everyone will look back on and remember (yes this is taking creative liberties).

the "The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" from Ghostbusters giving a speech in front of the capitol building as people riot and storm the building, the rioters are wearing red MAGA caps. There are signs and american flags.

Some others as I built the prompt and worked around the "this image is not safe"

Made with Comfyui, the worklflow should be embedded in the image

Original Image

Generation Parameters

Positive Prompt: Werewolves

Negative Prompt: blurry, horror

Model: Fenrisxl_V16fp16

This is a combination of IP Adapter, High Res fix and Face Detailer. The IpAdapter "reads" the original image and creates a basic positive and negative conditioning based of the image contents. I´ve just added "werewolves" as prompt to get mythical creatures.
