    Made with DALL-E 3 and ChatGPT 4.

    Prompt:

    Photorealistic image of a porcelain mask representing a barn owl. The porcelain is glazed with a rich shade of purple, giving it a lustrous finish. Instead of traditional feathers, the mask boasts meticulously cut amethyst gemstones, each resembling the form of a feather. These gemstone feathers glisten in varying shades of purple, harmonizing with the glazed porcelain. The mask's facial details are accentuated with golden gilding, and the eyes emit a mesmerizing gold glow, standing out against the purple backdrop.

      I decided to make a matching robe, similar to what @[email protected] did with their matching armor.

      Prompt:

      Photorealistic image of a wizard's robe in a captivating lavender hue. The robe's velvet fabric glimmers subtly, reminiscent of enchanted porcelain. Its trim is uniquely adorned with amethyst gemstones meticulously cut to resemble delicate feathers, each glowing with a variety of lavender shades, suggesting a mystical origin. The robe is richly embroidered with golden threads, creating patterns of arcane symbols and ancient lore across its surface. It features dramatically wide sleeves and a high, pointed collar, elements that are emblematic of a wizard's dignified attire.

      I said it before, but I really wish there was a zoom-in button in Lemmy (using the website). The details really make your mask shine.
      Also, I really really love the matching robe. Too bad it wasn’t part of the challenge.
