Thought I’d try to make a map.
It’s a lot more work than I anticipated :)

Oh dear, take care! Hope you get better soon!

You can always resubmit later on if you like, I’m not closing this challenge until Saturday.

[–] thelsim 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There’s a difference? My submission yesterday was just a drawing with black ink and some shading and it was ok. And I’m nowhere near as good as you.

You could ask what’s accepted. But I’d say don’t overthink it, just join along :)

[–] thelsim 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

First of all, that’s an awesome hand drawing! I love it :)

There’s an [email protected] community if you’re interested. The list of daily prompts is posted there as well.

I don't have a lot of time, or skill.
So unfortunately this is as good as you can expect from me :)

But I'll try to stick with it.

Pff, that's clearly a frog 🙄

Though a frog is called a kikker, which is kind of funny I suppose :)

Something I like about the language is the homonyms.
Like pad means both toad and path, but then you have a voetpad (foot path/ foot toad), fietspad(cycling path/ bicycle toad) or a zebrapad (zebra crossing/ zebra toad).

The latter ones don’t exist, just to be clear :)

Thanks for putting that behind a spoiler. It’s very well done, but definitely a bit disturbing.

[–] thelsim 6 points 6 days ago

My partner stresses too much with work and I wish I could help more. But all I can do is give comfort and urge to at least let things go when at home.
Any practical advice is always brushed off, which I can understand. Sometimes you just need to vent and I don’t mind listening about what happened this time. I just hate seeing them like this, it does make me worry a bit about their health.

 

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 :)

Format

This challenge will follow a slightly different format. Everyone can submit their image to this post. At the end of the week all images will be collected and shared in a new voting post wherein people can vote on their favorite image. This will be up for at least 24 hours before a winner is made.
There are no extra points to be earned, OP will decide on a winner in case of a tie.

I hope this format will give everyone the opportunity to take their time and have an equal chance at earning votes.
It can be a one-off if this turns out to be too time consuming or impractical.

Rules

  • Follow the community’s rules above all else
  • One comment and image per user
  • Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
  • Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged but not required (we’re all here for fun and learning)
  • OP will declare winner in case of a tie
  • The challenge runs for at least 7 days from now on
  • Down votes will not be counted
  • Voting and final scoring will be done in a separate post.

Scores

At the end of the challenge the image with the most votes, wins!
It's that simple this time :)

The winner gets to pick the next theme. As always, have fun everyone!

Thanks for sharing! It's really interesting to see how you go through all these different steps and I can definitely understand not wanting to write half an essay whenever you share an image.

If anyone ever has questions again, you can always point them to this post.

[–] thelsim 3 points 1 week ago

I'm such an idiot, I thought the PSA was posted in the challenge itself. Don't know why I thought that :)

I really wish Lemmy would offer a better way to link to individual posts across different instances.

[–] thelsim 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You make a good point, and I'm fine with dropping that one.
It was originally included to encourage sharing of workflows and prompts. Some of us are new at this, or appreciate a peek in the kitchen (sorry, bad Dutch expression :) to get some inspiration.
But I agree that it doesn't mean that people should be penalized for having complex workflows.

I wanted to ask what you think of a possible change to the scoring of the weekly challenges.
Right now most of the scoring is based on who gets the most upvotes. It works well for keeping things impartial, but those who post early will get more views and more chances at being upvoted than those who post later.
We already try to make things fairer by awarding bonus points to the last two images and a penalty for posting within the first 24 hours.
That last one got some feedback with some valid points, so I would like to suggest something different.

I want to see if having a separate submission and scoring post might work for the next challenge. Everyone can submit their images for at least 7 days and then I put them all together in a new post with separate replies to let people vote for at least 24 hours. Maybe even wait with posting until the weekend to get the most out of it?
I'd be happy to hear your input on this. It's a bit more work, but I don't mind doing it if it makes things more fair. And I hope I can automate the tedious stuff.

Nothing much changes on your end, but it might make the whole experience more fun and less of a race :)

edit

Thank you so much for your input and appreciation. I've heard some great arguments and will keep these in mind.
I'm going to give this a try for the coming challenge. But to whoever wins next, feel free to ignore all of this and try something different for the challenge after this.
Just know I'm always happy to help out in whatever way possible.

Theme

It's time to forget all you've learned on how to make believable images and go back to the jankiness of older AI images.
We have all seen it, the weirdness AI can create when you least want to.
But for this week's theme, try to create an image with the AI mistake (extra fingers, weird posture, you name it) as it's main attraction.

Embrace the jank and turn it into something beautiful! :)

A bonus point can be earned by anyone who can make their image without explicitly describing the weirdness they want to see in the prompt. Just like when you don't want to see these kinds of fails.
For example: If you try to create a man with multiple legs, then a man with three legs wouldn't count, but a man running really fast with his legs would.
Consider it an extra challenge to see how well you know your model and if you can push it exactly to the desired breaking point :)

As before, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and I've noticed that the early bird usually catches the worm. So for this challenge I'm subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours.

Rules

  • Follow the community’s rules above all else
  • One comment and image per user
  • Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
  • Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)
  • Posts that are tied will both get the points
  • The challenge runs for 7 days from now on
  • Down votes will not be counted

Scores

At the end of the challenge each post will be scored:

Prize Points
Most upvoted +3 points
Second most upvoted +2 point
Third most upvoted +1 point
Most original +1 point
AI jank present +1 point
No explicit AI jank instructions in prompt +1 point
Last two entries (to compensate for less time to vote) +1 point
Prompt and workflow included +1 point
Post within 24 hours -1 point

It's a bit of a different challenge, but I hope you'll enjoy it!

The winner gets to pick the next theme. As always, have fun everyone!
