Keep It Simple, Stupid
Follow the rule of KISS, try to create something simplistic, minimalistic, and reductionistic.
They do not have to be line drawings like the example image, but they can be if you want.

Final prompt In the Bingilator: "Sailor moon drawn in a an etch-a-sketch the drawing is done with only one continuous line. one line that does not stop. Bing, THE LINE MUST NOT STOP OR LIFT OFF AS THAT IS HOW AN ETCH-A-SKETCH WORKS!" So many tries, so many.
Bonus not in the running (I think the bingilator was making fun of me a bit):
Congrats on 3rd place! Seeing your prompts in the third image was very funny :)
I'm split on that one. It's amazing, and I really like the idea, but on the other hand you didn't kept it simple, neither in term of artwork nor in term of prompt. Take my upvote anyway :)
I swear it started simple! I just wanted a little sketch, but I got upset...
Couldn't get it to not do shading. Dall-e
Prompt:A simple black and white line drawing of 'Kilroy was here', featuring the iconic long-nosed, bald-headed character peeking over a wall with just the fingers of his hands visible over the edge. The drawing should capture the essence of this World War II graffiti symbol in a minimalist style, focusing on clean lines and clear depiction of the character's peeking gesture. The background should be plain to keep the attention on Kilroy.
My actual prompt: Make me a Kilroy was here black and white line drawing. Keep it simple
Sorry you didn't win this time. The Kilroy was an unexpected but fitting touch.
Thanks🙂
Ninja bunny.
Made with chat gpt 4.
Process: ask gpt 4 if it understands the kiss concept with reference to the Wikipedia page. After getting sure that gpt 4 is on the same page, ask gpt for pictures under the defined principle. I was not able to write "KISS" principle in the prompt as KISS seems to be censored.
Sorry you didn't win this time. The samurai/ninja bunny was very interesting however!
Single line Kiss
Prompt: draw a picture of a kissing lips symbol in the style of Picasso's single line drawings. it should illustrate the KISS design principles (KISS = "Keep it simple, stupid"). the picture should follow the kiss principles itself and therefore should be very simple and straightforward.
Sorry you didn't win this time. But I loved this piece a lot, looks super professional.
Add on: something funny from the prompt history
During the creation process, I went through several attempts, because in the beginning, the Image Creator did not really produce minimalist graphics.
In one of the iterations, instead of creating another picture as prompted, Bing came up with a pun about "one-line drawing" which I screenshotted. I found it quite clever:
💋 KISS 💋
minimalist style of pouty puckered lipsSorry you didn't win this time, but this piece was one of my favourites for what its worth.
Oh well, better luck next time.
I’m just happy to hear you enjoyed it! :)
I tried Chinese paintings of smiling face:
Prompt: A super-abstract condensed Chinese ink painting on beige rice paper about a toddler's smiling face, with empty margins around the face, symbolized, minimalist, (faint few strokes)1.5, (childish)1.5
Negative Prompt: (signature)1.5, (text)1.5, watermark, ugly, uncanny, border, frame, desk, wall, pen, red, photo, oil paint, large-area coloring
GUI: EasyDiffusion
Model: A SDXL 1.0 model merged myself, is complex in terms of source and weight
Other results:
That second last one encapsulates trying to take a photo of a child so well.
Congrats, you came second! I enjoyed the originality of this piece, along with the super detailed prompt explanation.
These are all so joyful! I love them all.
Not really sure what we're supposed to here, so I went simple minimalist
Prompt : A red circle over a gradient background, a filled half-circle represents a smile Model RealVisXL V3.0
Sorry you didn't win this time, and also sorry if I made the theme challenging for you. You did get the execution of the concept perfectly though!
DALL-E: simple, peaceful, zen, quiet, water, wave
Sorry you didn't win this time, but your picture was very peaceful - feels like it would be a perfect fit for a relaxing calendar.
Keeping it KISS:
Created in Bing (I even kept the prompt minimalistic): a minimalist black and white photo of the band Kiss
Sorry you didn't win this time. I like your literal interpretation of the theme however, and the bnw fits well with the band and the theme.
Went back and forth with Bing experimenting with different styles and landed with something I liked.
A pop art image done with lines only, depicting a serene moonlit night with auroras and permeating lines, with more surreal and minimalist style, more evocative than literal details
Runner ups
Sorry you didn't win this time. I like how your final version feels like one of those scratchy-paper sheets that have the colour underneath, interesting style.
That's a very apt comparison. It didn't occur to me while working on this but I do love those so that's porbbaly why this was the one I selected.
Sorry you didn't win this time, but eye I enjoyed how despite being a detailed image the concept itself was simplistic and worked well. (If you shared your prompt you'd be able to a free point)
Niji Journey: midjourney V6 model
Prompt: A minimalist line drawing of a woman in a string bikini full body view, holding a tame pangolin, in the style of Aleksandra Gruszczyk
A couple Bonus
Sorry you didn't win this time, but it was certainly one of the most unique pieces around
Copilot
Prompt: create a sketchbook drawing of the great pyramid of giza. make it lightly drawn with black pencil only with short steady strokes of the pencil. make it look like a drawing on a notepad.
minimalistic representation of a face smiling in the style of monochrome minimalism --v 6.0
Congrats on coming third. I feel like it must have taken a fair few generations to get the dual imagery to work well.
Not as simplistic as I wanted. I tried loads of prompts and my instructions for simplistic, crude drawings, even stick figure drawings were all ignored. Here we go anyway.
Here's the prompt that generated this particular image.
A charcoal cartoonish drawing of a tree holding a brush and a color palette in a forest. Next to the tree, there is an easel and a canvas with a portrait of Bob Ross.
Sorry you didn't win this time, keep trying though as this was a very different take on a classic theme and got a chuckle out of me :)
Mission accomplished
Instructions unclear, stick figures were harmed in the making of this image...
Made in Stable Diffusion using the latest Juggernaut model.
Prompt: Stick figures, pencil drawn, murdering each other, blood, guns, violence
Other versions:
Kinda reminds me of the old stick fight videos.
Haha yes! That's exactly what I was thinking when I prompted for these!!
Congrats you are the winner!
(It's your turn to pick next weeks theme!)
