  • Prompt: photograph of A yeti, dressed as a ski instructor, wearing a red coat, teaching little kids how to ski, natural lighting, shot with dslr camera --ar 4:3 --v 6.1

    Mr. Yeti has a rather successful career as a ski instructor. The kids are crazy about him :)

  • Nah, that’s fine. I wanted to write out the workflow anyway.

    I wasn’t sure why you put in the URLs, so I figured I’d add some context. And yes, in typical me fashion, I tend to go overboard once I get into something :)

    Oh and Centibus is a much better name, I love it.

  • Yes, those were the input images I've used.

    So what I did was first I created this drawing of the centipede bus, using the codex seraphinianus prompt:

    Next I used that as input, together with a style reference from one of my earlier posts, the snail knight, because I wanted to create something in the same mood:

    That ended up with an in-between kind of image that I reused as extra input to steer it further away from the drawn aspect of the original image:

  • No, not really. You can feature the new challenge when you see it coming up, maybe deal with reports if they come up, but that’s about it.

    It’s quite relaxed.

  • Congrats, you got the job! :)

  • Oh I love raspberries as well, it’s just that mangoes are more chewy when frozen.
    Raspberries tend to be very hard and not as nice to bite down on when they’re straight from the freezer. But the flavor is great, no argument here :)

  • Frozen mango pieces. I love eating those whenever I’m in the mood for something to snack.

    Not sure if it counts as junk food, but it’s something I always try to keep at home. Though lately they’ve been sold out at the supermarket. So I’m forced to fall back on my 2nd choice, frozen raspberries.

  • Hmmm, to be honest I’m not sure. For this one it might have been the location, but I don’t think it has ever stopped people from posting whatever they feel comfortable with before though.

    Maybe the challenge is too specific? Like it pushes people into making a pumpkin and therefore limits the possibilities? Personally I like the challenges most when it’s a theme that feels a bit open ended. Like in this case maybe if you phrased it like “Halloween but in a different part of the world” it might give people more room to think of a unique angle for them to create their image?

  • I was surprised about that as well, it’s not like a lot has changed. Maybe it’s just a slow week?

    I’ve been quite busy myself lately.

  • The voting page is up! Feel free to head over and vote for your favorite image.

    A place called Turtle Island... until the Europeans came; hence a juxtaposition of Native American and Technology~ together in harmony.

    I’m not a fan of patriotism and I don’t like to expose my personal background on Lemmy. Here is a pumpkin representing Mordor.

    Prompt: Photograph, of a Halloween pumpkin, made of delft blue porcelain, dark, dramatic lighting --ar 4:3 --v 6.1

  • I guess an Australian timezone would work as well, you're pretty much on the other side of the world from me :)

  • Ok, I'm going to lock this down now. I can recount everything that happened in the past but I'll keep it short.

    • Downvotes happen, some people just like to do drive-by downvoting without ever leaving a comment. In the end no harm comes from it, it doesn't affect the challenge and everyone who matters will appreciate your content regardless of what some random downvoter thinks.
    • Merde did not downvote, and you have no proof otherwise. Feel free to see if you can convince an admin to give an overview of the downvotes but we both know they have better things to do than to deal with this.
    • Everything that followed after is a result of your accusation, the deleted comments are in the modlog if you want to revisit that past.

    I really don't want to do this, Allo. In general you are a welcome member to this community and I appreciate your contributions. But digging this up again is just not helping.

  • I did make one with a candle inside and with some local food, but in the end I felt the added food was thematically bit too much like trollivier's poutine pumpkin.

    I'm sure that if Halloween were a bigger thing here, you'd find this in every souvenir shop. This stuff is so pervasive :)

  • It's.. bellows in best matron voice Richaaaard!

  • I appreciate your enthusiasm :)

    Seriously, this mostly just entails featuring and unfeaturing the challenge post. Maybe deal with some reports, but they're quite rare and our lovely admins are very quick to deal with them. So please don't make too much out of it.

    I spoke with M0oP0o and he's interested in getting more active from next month onward, so that's also nice.

    I'll put up a post this weekend to ask if anyone else is interested and we can make a choice then for one more mod.
