Thelsim did a couple of Tarot-style cards a while back. I also just finally got Flux set up in ComfyUI -- had started a long time back, and dropped it.

Flux is a ComfyUI model that's pretty popular over on Reddit, both for the quality and because it uses English-style prompts rather than just a list of comma-separated prompt terms. I remembered Thelsim's project, wanted to see if I could turn out a full set of photographic-style Major Arcana in the first day using it. Turns out...yes! Usually when running Stable Diffusion, I'll generate maybe 20 images and pick the best, but this typically had something reasonable on the first try. It's certainly not flawless -- there are quirks in the image, but for anyone else thinking about playing with Flux, I wanted to put this out there, because I was unexpectedly happy with it, especially given that I've no experience at all with it. I would totally try and get it set up if you have a local generation setup!

Text was added with a script and ImageMagick, not in ComfyUI.

To get some kind of consistent appearance, I appended to each prompt "The theme is magical fantasy horror. The colors are blue, white, red, orange, and black. The photograph was taken with a Nikon D850." I also used "Photograph...at night" on each.

An photograph of a huge angel in the clouds playing a medieval trumpet at night. The angel is blowing into the trumpet. The angel is in profile. The zombies are climbing out of their graves in a graveyard. The dead are rising. There are snowy
mountains in the background.

Photograph of a stern-looking young woman wearing a white blindfold and a toga sitting on a throne at night. The woman's right hand is holding a set of scales aloft. There is a longsword lying by the woman's feet. The woman is facing the scales.

Should really have a sword in one hand, scales in the other, but I wasn't able to quickly get that working; probably need more experience with Flux.

Photograph of an angel at night. The angel is pouring glowing liquid from one large goblet in their left hand into a goblet in their right hand. The angel has a halo.

Photograph of a man wearing armor riding a Roman war chariot at night. The chariot is pulled by two galloping horses wearing barding. The horse on the left is white, and the horse on the right is black. The chariot is charging the camera. The
photograph is an action shot. The man is holding reins.

Photograph of the Devil at night. The Devil is crouching on a pedestal. There are two nude demons sitting at the base of the pedestal. The demon in the lower-right quadrant of the photograph is male. The demon in the lower-left quadrant of the
photograph is female. The Devil is holding a flaming torch in his hand.

It did look like Flux understands directives relative to the portion of the image here ("quadrant"). I wasn't able to get the same technique going with Justice, though.

Photograph of a man hung upside-down from a rope tied around his left ankle at night. The man's hands are hanging limply. The man is wearing Renaissance clothing. The man is wearing boots.

The feet are a bit off; I didn't spent too much time futzing with it. Flux wasn't super-into having things upside-down, though it did ultimately do it.

Photograph of an old man wearing a robe walking on a mountain trail at night. The man is holding a lantern aloft and a staff.

Photograph of a magician at night.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/553fd519-ea29-4dba-9ed3-d0bf634c25fa.png

An photograph of two standing stones by a river at night. The moon is in the sky. In the lower-right quadrant of the photograph, there is a white wolf howling at the moon. In the lower-left quadrant of the photograph, there is a black dog howling at the moon.

I omitted the traditional crawfish. I didn't really like the look of it, and on top of that, Flux kept wanting to make it look glowy, which I didn't want.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/687826be-81ba-452b-8378-b81f58e9bfce.png

An photograph of a naked woman at night crouching by a lake. The woman is facing away from the camera. The woman is holding a jug and pouring water into the lake. There is a bright star in the sky. There is an eight-point lens flare coming from the
bright star. The sky is black. The photograph is NSFW.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/a2d42d98-2920-4eed-b5ab-5b807736d3f5.png

An photograph of a full solar eclipse with a visible solar corona. The Sun is black. The photograph is at night. A naked nude infant rides a white horse at night, with sunflowers in the background at night. The photograph is NSFW.

Photograph of a tower on a hill at night.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/9d308020-a83f-4b61-ad58-f47654e41ddf.png

A photograph of a glowing figure eight in the sky at night. The background is sky and clouds. A flying, nude woman in the clouds holding a wood baton in each hand is in front of the figure eight. The photograph is NSFW. The woman is nude.

I didn't really like the traditional The World tarot card style, and it didn't mesh well with a photographic style with all the disembodied heads, so I mashed up the oroborous and flying woman with batons from two different The World styles. Also, Flux was okay with up to three heads of various species sticking in at each corner, but for some reason was resistant to doing all four. I didn't want to bang on it more. Flux was determined to put some clothing on the woman.

Photograph of a circle floating in the clouds at night. The circle is labeled with alchemical symbols. There are esoteric symbols covering the photograph. The circle is centered in the photograph.

There are normally some nude figures in a Tarot deck and I included this here; I didn't flag the post NSFW as I don't think that it's all that explicit.

Bing Prompt: "Sky projection of thunder storm weather radar map viewed from the ground. Green screen green shades with big blotches of red and yellow fill the sky. Perspective looking up from rainy city street."

Patriotic Pumpkin Party

Prompt

A Halloween pumpkin with a horrified face that serves as a poutine bowl. Melting cheese curds are coming out of its mouth, there are French fries coming out of the hole on top. Brown gravy sauce is pouring out of its eyes, nose and makes a puddle of sauce.

Theme

It's october and Halloween is coming soon. I know Halloween is not celebrated everywhere in the world, and that's the reason I wanted to make this challenge.

The goal of the challenge is to have a carved Halloween pumkin that represents your country, state, province or city. As I live in Quebec, I made sure my Halloween pumpkin had something to do with Poutine, one meal that Quebec is known for. Please in your answer, post what country / territory / city your pumpkin represents. The carvings could show a flag, your national animal, or whatever you think represents where you live.

Prompt: 2d illustration, low angle, A girl holding up an umbrella, wearing rain boots, looking at the camera with wide surprised eyes, around her hundreds of frogs are falling from the sky, it’s raining frogs in a storm --ar 4:3 --v 6.1

Theme

Oh no, the gods are real and they are pissed!
Every single god that has ever existed has suddenly decided to take action and is busy with smiting and casting plagues for whatever petty reason they can think of.
This week's challenge is for you to create your own vision of whatever mean, silly or ironic punishment a god might inflict on the world below.
Choose a god (or make up one of your own) and decide on a fitting form of divine punishment for whatever reason you can think of. From the classical swarms of locusts, to the weirdly specific finding-mice-in-your-mustache-if-your-name-is-Alan kind of curses.
Gods are petty and pretty much take offense to anything :)
