Tinkerbell and the Destroyers on the 2024 Bad Fingers World Tour

Fingers are hard :(

My prompt started with: tinkerbell death metal band

It ended with: the band should have a dark, gothic appearance with black and silver attire, possibly adorned with spikes and chains. Their wings can have a more jagged, bat-like appearance, and the makeup can be heavy with black eyeliner and dark lipstick. The background can be a dark forest with a mystical, eerie atmosphere.

This was the 2nd choice (and not an entry).

Yes, I saw it said heavy metal in the prompt, but the heavy metal fairies just didn’t cut it.

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

How do we vote for the 2nd choice?

[-] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It was a tough call! What do you like about it?

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

That it looks less like she is a lowly member of a group taking direction from someone offscreen to the left; and more that she herself is a boss. Just personal preference. I like powerful, confident people that are actively driving forward their own things.

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

That's interesting, I interpreted the first one more like she was making sure the rest of the band were following her lead.

[-] allo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Interesting interpretation. It's like: is the glass half full or half full in a different way

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

Feels more black than death, but that's cool.

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Of all cute things to metallize, you chose Tinkerbell. Great idea, and my favorite as well, which puts you in first place! Congrats! P.S. : You have no idea how hard it was to generate the metal horns with Midjourney! So it's well deserved :)

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)


Prompt: airbrush drawing, heavy metal style, of a pink Care Bear with a heart on its belly, pointing his sword high towards the sky and shouting, looking up at the dark sky, wearing a chainmail loincloth, on a mountain in hell, red flames in the background, highly detailed, symmetrical composition, dramatic lighting --ar 3:4 --stylize 75

On a side note, to whomever wins this challenge, I would love to see a reverse to this theme as well :)

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

You get the second place, along with the "Most original" mention. Congrats! The strong reference to Manowar made it happen :)

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Awesome! 🤘

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

This makes me think of the VR game no more rainbows! It looks cool! Care bear gone berserk!

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

First thing I thought was "Manowar, Manowar, living on the road!" - Kings of Metal.

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

same :)

i had friends who were manowar fans. "other bands play, manowar kill" was a confusing statement for me

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

Yea, that was the 80s metal kind of theme I was going for.

Also, the codpiece on that bear was just too good to pass up on :)

Raijin's Wrath

Prompt: Pikachu in the style of a Black Metal cover artwork, looking very angry and evil, screaming, with sharp teeth, wrinkled skin, corpse paint and a double viking axe guitar. There's a cryptic thorny black metal band logo above its head. In the background there's a Transylvanian medieval castle, dead trees, a crescent moon and some crows. The whole picture is in greyscales only.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I tried to make a Pikachu too, but they all came out looking stuffed. I didn't even think of making it like a comic book. Idky.

Good job

[-] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I really had difficulty to decide which picture I was going to upload here, I got many different results that were great. Here some others:

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

The first to are so good omg

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Congratulation my friend, you get the 3rd place for that very worthy verion of Pikachu. Shall I call it Pukachu? :) (You would have scored a "OP's favorite" point with the second picture in the list of your alternatives). Good job!

Anne of Black Gables

copilot promptAnne of Green gables, as a goth. she standing before a large summoning circle, with a small bloody ornate dagger, attempting to summon a demon. behind her are altars covered with candles and occult memorabilia. her expression is wild and dangerous. very dark background. intense atmosphere.

I'ma be honest, the little I know of black metal fashion comes from Vegan Black Metal Chef, but as always, once I got an idea in my head I couldn't let go of it.

[-] LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I remember reading 'Anne of Green Gables'—she was just a girl looking for peace, often misunderstood, much like her first encounter with Rachel Lynde. Anne wasn’t the villain; she was often the victim of harsh judgments. I’m glad they became friends in the end.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I don't think I've ever read it, tbh... But growing up in Atlantic Canada, she is inescapable.

[-] LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

True, but it’s her home, and the criticism is unfounded. You might enjoy reading it someday.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Wait, what criticism?
I've never heard anything bad about it, I just never got around to reading it (it's not really my jam).

[-] LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

It’s mostly about the book's popularity, not its content.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

PS: I don't mind making this overview for the next challenge as well.
I made a python script and some SQL to generate this result which removes a lot of the tedium.

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So this really, really helped! Thanks for othis intiative. Was in a rush this morning but was still able to give the prizes within a few minutes.

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

You're welcome! :)

Glad to see it helped, I know how tedious it can be to collect all that data.

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you I'll take care of it this afternoon.

Prompt: A metal rock band with pomeranian performers playing instruments with their paws (Copilot)

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

[-] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Pretty simple. Hello kitty with the lyrics of a gruesome song. I also added human as a negative prompt.

I finally took the time to re-install a local version of SD after changing PC in the spring, so I have now my own comfyUI rather than an online version (tbh, getimg.ai provides a good service for the price) So I tried something simple to test comfyUI, and here it is. !

Is that Dani Filth in the background?

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If it is, it's unintentional. Kinda looks like a mix of Dani and Jesus.
