    The Orcs won the battle of Helms Deep, Gandalf never showed. Here is an Orcish painting telling the tale!

    Made in Dall-E via Chat GPT. Did several iterations tweaking the prompt of the Orcs winning the battle of Helms Deep.

      I really like the colors in this one. It was a three-way tie for the most upvoted this week, but another post won with the most points.

      Edit: I forgot to add a point for the workflow because ChatGPT doesn’t have a prompt. I’ve corrected that, but the outcome remains the same.

    After the Grinch’s heart grew three times that day (a medical condition called cardiomegaly) he collapsed in the snow. And while the Grinch lies dying on the cold ground he hears the Whos sing:

      This was close. I think with a prompt or workflow, it would have tied for first place in overall points. Really well done.

      It was a three-way tie for the most upvoted this week.

    Tom Bombadil

    Prompt: “A stout smiling man with a beard in an embroidered blue coat sits at a table in a quaint cottage. He holds up a hand that has one plain golden ring on it. There are four young hobbits in the room watching him in fascination. They are in their 20s. Fantasy style. Photorealistic”

    I was trying to do a passable recreation of Tom Bombadil from Lord of the Rings. Dall-E 3 did fine but had trouble with the hobbits and only doing 1 ring. This was the best of the bunch I think.

    That one was a a bitch, I am curious whether non Francophone would find back the movie. Despite a few remaining glitches I give you

    Prompt :

    A medieval knight wearing a cloak, attacks a 1990’s post car, in rural France, cloak

    With Bing Image

    Ironically got worse result when removing the second cloak. Tried a few Stable diffusion model, but it’s less clear that it’s a post truck

    Have you found the movie ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLjYtbVM6jg I don’t think you need much french to understand

      This was really interesting. I’ve never seen that movie before, but the clip looked funny.

        A famous french movie, I guess you may-find some English subtitles. It’s the story of a medieval knight who end-up in the 1990’s after a magic trick. It’s mostly a fun comedy, with a few very fun scenes. Not a masterpiece, but if you want to have a good laugh for 2h, it’s worth trying to find-it, not even sure on the English title.

    This was a really challenging contest to score, I think. Three posts were tied for first place with 7 upvotes each, two were tied for second with 5 upvotes each, and they were all exceptionally well-crafted. Great job to everyone who participated, and I’m looking forward to seeing your creativity in the next contest! Congrats to this weeks winner @M0oP0o@mander.xyz

    Made with Dalle-3.

    Prompt: Create an image with extreme photorealism, resembling a high-end digital camera shot, featuring a dark canalization tunnel with intricately detailed, shining green slime. Show four anthropomorphic turtle boys, each with highly textured skin and only two toes. One of these turtles is being launched through the air by a large, meticulously detailed anthropomorphic rhino. Highlight the ultra-realistic textures of the turtles’ skin, the complexity of their ninja costumes, and the tangible quality of the green slime, crafting a strikingly realistic scene.

        I was yet not able to get the toes correct with Dall-E. Also openai is extremly restrictive regarding copyright and prompts. I use the pay version, the free version seems even be more restrictive. Generally the results from Dall-E are great and you can discuss with the bot about improvements of the picture and “construct” the image you want to have in several steps. I am currently also experimenting with this combo: Let GPT 4.0 Create the prompt and generate the image in Stable diffusion. I get good results, but the images are generally of better quality in Dall-E at this time.

    I tried to re-create the famous Titanic scene on the bow of the ship but with cats instead of actors.

    Did only succeed partially but it’s fun nonetheless:

    Done with a cheap Copilot-Prompt: Create a picture: the famous Titanic scene on the bow of the ship where the two main actors stand at the very front, spreading their arms to the side - but with cats instead of human actors.
