Ok this is my favorite lol. "What did the prairie dogs just say?? Did you see anything, dude?"

Just craning their necks to max like they can do something like, you know, FLY and go look haha

I need to see these guys in real life. In the post these pics came from, I think they said there were about 20 in the group. It'd be fun to see them running and chasing bugs and all that.

It's been a while since I had a good pic for one, but I knew this one required it. The little dude just looks so serene.

Now that's an owl that needs a top hat and waistcoat to complete a most dapper look. He already has the gaze down. Give him a little walking cane too.

Couldn't decide which one came out better.

I like the one without the creepy little wing-hand haha

I usually get that wherever I try to generate an owl holding something. It doesn't look too bad here but I'd rather it was like the other pic with just the wing.

The outfit overall I think is better in the hand pic though.

I use ArtBot for this kind of thing.

AI images seemed too complicated and I didnt want to register to websites and learn all kinds of programming just to make silly, one-off images.

But someone on Lemmy recommended ArtBot and I tried it with really simple prompts, and it's really easy and no sign up or anything needed. It can do a ton of stuff, but I get pretty good results with just a regular sentence or 2. Anyone thinking about image generation should give it a look.

Couldn't agree more! This bunch just looks so regal and dignified!
