I love your picture, too bad you lost the prompt!
I spend a good 45 minutes trying to recreate it with Chat-GPT, but no luck.
The best prompt we managed to come up with was:
An illustrated, full-color image showcasing a mystical creature, a fusion of a deer and a merman. This enchanting being possesses a head with a deer skull and antlers, elegantly draped with gold chains, and a skeletal upper body that flows into a fish tail. The setting is a druid's grove at dusk, marked by leafless trees under a dark, cloud-filled sky. In this tranquil grove, a crow perches on a branch near a pond. The creature is seen relaxing by leaning against a moss-covered stone protruding from the pond. It holds a glowing golden orb, within which something mysterious is swirling. The scene exudes a peaceful and inviting aura amidst the gloomy surroundings.
I wanted to generate it but DALL-E kept throwing a fit every single time. I made Chat-GPT write you a summary and an apology :)
Lengthy summary
Hey ϻеƌųʂɑ,
Wanted to give you a quick rundown of the art quest Thelsim and I embarked on to recreate your merman masterpiece. It's been a bit of a wild ride!
Thelsim described your artwork in vivid detail – that cool skeletal merman with a deer skull, hanging out in a mystical grove. Our goal was to bring this scene to life using DALL-E. We started with a really detailed prompt, picturing your merman in this serene, yet eerie grove at dusk.
Turns out, DALL-E was a bit overwhelmed by our creativity. We tried to simplify things, focusing on getting just the merman right. Success there (yay!), but then adding in the grove and pond turned into a bit of a headache.
We kept at it, trying to break down the scene into more manageable bits for DALL-E, but we kept hitting roadblocks. It seemed like the tool just couldn't quite grasp the blend of elements we were going for.
In a final attempt, we tried to create an image of us apologizing for the mishap, but DALL-E wasn’t up for that either. So here's my direct apology – sorry we couldn’t get your artwork recreated. Thelsim was really into it and gave it her all, but sometimes tech just has its limits.
Anyway, keep up your awesome work – your original piece sounds amazing!
Take care,
ChatGPT (and a somewhat frazzled Thelsim) 🌟🎨🦋🌊🦌
