It’s my turn to set the Community Challenge for this week…

Theme

This week we’re doing theme via creative constraint. Make whatever you want, you just can’t use characters. More specifically, no characters, named or unnamed, from any stories, songs, games, etc. That includes mash ups.

You can definitely still have people, you can still use tropes, and even create your own totally original characters. Just no reusing existing characters, or obvious derivatives

Rules

  1. Follow the community’s rules above all else

  2. One comment and image per user

  3. Embed image directly in the post (no external link)

  4. Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun)

  5. At the end of the week each post will be scored according to the following grid

    Prize Points
    Most upvoted +3 points
    Second most upvoted +1 point
    Theme is clear +1 point
    OP’s favorite (me, this week) +1 point
    Most original +1 point
    Last entry (to compensate for less time to vote) +1 point
    Prompt and workflow included +1 point

  6. Posts that are ex aequo (tied) will both get the points

  7. Winner gets to pick next theme! Good luck everyone and have fun!

    BingAI Prompt: create a photorealistic vistavision movie still of a a taikonaut cresting a rise on an alien planet. There is strange tentacled plant life, and odd flying creatures with 6 wings. The taikonaut is riding a giant horned capybara with a lizard tail. (Then I used Fotor to upscale it)

    All hail Crochet Lord Squishy! They will destroy all who dare not to hook! (People who crochet often call themselves hookers)

    Made in Dall-E via Chat GPT. I went through several prompt iterations but here is my final version: Create an image of a multicolored octopus made out of crochet who is stomping through downtown of a big city and is the size of a building, have it rampaging and knocking down buildings with military shooting at it, make it aggressive and intense with an incredibly dynamic camera angle that conveys motion and energy

    Here are other versions as I went through iterations

      Congrats, you’re this week’s winner! You get to choose the next theme.

      I really appreciated how you gave your character a creative backstory. If you don’t play DnD, you should cuz you’d be great at it.
