    Tinkerbell and the Destroyers on the 2024 Bad Fingers World Tour

    Fingers are hard :(

    My prompt started with: tinkerbell death metal band

    It ended with: the band should have a dark, gothic appearance with black and silver attire, possibly adorned with spikes and chains. Their wings can have a more jagged, bat-like appearance, and the makeup can be heavy with black eyeliner and dark lipstick. The background can be a dark forest with a mystical, eerie atmosphere.

    This was the 2nd choice (and not an entry).

    Yes, I saw it said heavy metal in the prompt, but the heavy metal fairies just didn’t cut it.

          That it looks less like she is a lowly member of a group taking direction from someone offscreen to the left; and more that she herself is a boss. Just personal preference. I like powerful, confident people that are actively driving forward their own things.

            That’s interesting, I interpreted the first one more like she was making sure the rest of the band were following her lead.

      Of all cute things to metallize, you chose Tinkerbell. Great idea, and my favorite as well, which puts you in first place! Congrats! P.S. : You have no idea how hard it was to generate the metal horns with Midjourney! So it’s well deserved :)

    Raijin’s Wrath

    Prompt: Pikachu in the style of a Black Metal cover artwork, looking very angry and evil, screaming, with sharp teeth, wrinkled skin, corpse paint and a double viking axe guitar. There’s a cryptic thorny black metal band logo above its head. In the background there’s a Transylvanian medieval castle, dead trees, a crescent moon and some crows. The whole picture is in greyscales only.

      I tried to make a Pikachu too, but they all came out looking stuffed. I didn’t even think of making it like a comic book. Idky.

      Good job

      Congratulation my friend, you get the 3rd place for that very worthy verion of Pikachu. Shall I call it Pukachu? :) (You would have scored a “OP’s favorite” point with the second picture in the list of your alternatives). Good job!

          i had friends who were manowar fans. “other bands play, manowar kill” was a confusing statement for me

          Yea, that was the 80s metal kind of theme I was going for.

          Also, the codpiece on that bear was just too good to pass up on :)

    Anne of Black Gables

    copilot prompt

    Anne of Green gables, as a goth. she standing before a large summoning circle, with a small bloody ornate dagger, attempting to summon a demon. behind her are altars covered with candles and occult memorabilia. her expression is wild and dangerous. very dark background. intense atmosphere.

    I’ma be honest, the little I know of black metal fashion comes from Vegan Black Metal Chef, but as always, once I got an idea in my head I couldn’t let go of it.

          True, but it’s her home, and the criticism is unfounded. You might enjoy reading it someday.

            Wait, what criticism?
            I’ve never heard anything bad about it, I just never got around to reading it (it’s not really my jam).

              It’s mostly about the book’s popularity, not its content.

    Pretty simple. Hello kitty with the lyrics of a gruesome song. I also added human as a negative prompt.

    I finally took the time to re-install a local version of SD after changing PC in the spring, so I have now my own comfyUI rather than an online version (tbh, getimg.ai provides a good service for the price) So I tried something simple to test comfyUI, and here it is. !

      If it is, it’s unintentional. Kinda looks like a mix of Dani and Jesus.
