Though I always feel like vertical cities like these need more sky bridges on different levels.
You would need so many elevators just to get from one place to the next. Unless you're into some serious stair walking :)
Yea I like making movie shots, especially fantasy movies. I have a lot of great memories of those 80s and 90s fantasy movies and it’s fun to imagine new ones :)
The 35mm thing adds a graininess to the image and removes some of that AI sheen.
In general I always try to add some kind of medium description, like 35mm movie, oil painting, shot with dslr camera, etc.
It makes the image more believable.
I’m blocking a couple of bots but no actual people.
Though I guess I would block someone if they were being persistently trying to harass me. I can take offensive internet behavior, but not if you’re coming after me as a person.
Traffic lights were hand operated.
The small town where I grew up had one pedestrian traffic light for crossing the main road. There was a small brick shed next to that traffic light with no windows and a little door. When I was little I was convinced that was an operation's center where someone worked to turn the lights red or green.
In reality it was a power substation for the neighborhood, but I was seriously convinced that behind that door was a man looking at a TV screen and operating the traffic light at the right moment.
When we went to a larger town nearby, where there were traffic lights without a convenient mysterious building nearby, I told myself that the traffic light people were most likely working under ground, peeping through the drains.
I.. was good at making up answers for myself instead of just asking my parents.
Prompt:high-angle, sci-fi movie, a cluster of colossal aerostats, drifting above menacing purple lighting clouds in a violent alien atmosphere, a spacecraft is on approach to land at the aerostat, dramatic lighting, shot on 35mm film --ar 3:2 --v 6.1
In the violent upper atmosphere of a gas giant, aerostat research outposts allow scientists to observe weather patterns up close and collect gas samples. Supply runs are a lethal endeavor and can only be performed when lightning activity is at its lowest.
I have two ways of explaining. The first one is just saying “I work with data” followed by some hand waving and shrugging.
The other is where I really go into detail and explain everything. Going gaga over some minute aspect that I find awesome but couldn’t even interest one of my coworkers.
Neither seems to really work, but I don’t get follow up questions which suits me just fine :)
Maps and compass. I like the reliability of finding my way no matter where I am. Plus it’s fun!
Especially the trick of using two landmarks to pinpoint my location on a map makes me feel like an old-fashioned navigator :)
So nice to hear that someone used it as a wallpaper! :)
I made it in Midjourney so thankfully it's still around. I think it's this one, right? I've upscaled it for you.
Oh and here's the original, if the upscale is not to your liking. I just noticed that it makes it a little too clear and neat.
Prompt:colossal scale, godzilla wearing a pink suit with lots of bling and fur trimming, strutting through a destroyed city with a fancy cane, ultra low angle shot --ar 3:4 --v 6.1
Somewhere on Skull Island sits a miserable shaved giant ape :)
This really creepy Czech Alice in Wonderland movie. It used stop motion with animal skeletons, fish heads, and tons of other things.
My mom put it on when I was little in an attempt to keep me occupied.
“Would you like to watch Alice in Wonderland, Thelsim?” She’d ask.
“Yea!” I would shout enthusiastically, thinking she meant the Disney movie.
Half an hour later I’m crying and hiding under the blankets.
I never did watch that movie again. Maybe it’s not so bad now, but the screenshots still make feel very queasy.
That’s a super cute little bus.
