Dalle using chatgpt:
Black and white close-up photo of the king of autumn’s mask. The moss, twigs, and feathers are displayed in intricate detail, revealing the texture and patterns. The mask’s elements seem to come alive, with every strand of moss and feather visible, giving a sense of depth and dimension.
You can only submit one image for the challenge. As much as I like both of them, could you please remove one?
You can post the removed one as a reply to your original comment if you still like to show it off, that’s fine. The original comment will be the one that counts for the challenge.Ah didn’t know! Thanks I’ll remove one!
Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points Thank you for your image! It’s a very nice design and I love the detail.
Here’s an image of my own. Of course I’m excluded from being able to win. I just like to participate.
Prompt:cyberpunk style, illustration, panoramic shot, Cyberpunk traditional pagan mask, worn by shopkeeper, shopkeeper is leaning on the counter, in an antiquities store --stylize 75 --v 5.2 --ar 4:3Bing prompt: post apocalyptic world setting, steam punk mask made with bronze and silver trimming, a worn out top hat with a mouse coming out of a door near the top
Hard choice between two it made, but I’m going with this one.
Too bad the mouse didn’t come out the door, that would’ve been cute to see.
Though I shouldn’t complain, this one is very cute as well :)Here’s the one it got right. The mice are weirdly cute. Funny enough this was also the other one I was conflicted about starting with.
Aww, there he is! Mice are cute in general, as long as they don’t invade your house :)
I can see why you chose the first one though, it looks more like an actual mask.
Last entry +1 Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 3 points Thank you for your mask and super cute mouse :)
The mouse makes it so cool !

Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points Thank you for the mask! It looks like it could be cursed. I like the idea of an ancient mask that’s just been lying forgotten in a temple.
Bing/DALLE3: “costume mask made out of water”
Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points That’s a great idea to make one out of water!
It’s a while I haven’t partaken in a community challenge, so here is my contribution, Glad to see how active it became.

Seed: 5823057, Dimensions: 512x512, Sampler: euler, Inference Steps: 75, Guidance Scale: 7.5, Model: dreamshaper_8, Negative Prompt: low quality, Prompt Strength: 0
I haven’t switched to XL as my PC is too old for that version, so good old dreamshaper does the trick
It’s good to have you back, Ziggurat :)
Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points That’s a nice looking mask. I really like the altar setup, very mysterious indeed. Looks like dreamshaper is still up to the task :)

It’s quite beautiful, I love the details in the gold and the glowing eyes.
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 @ricecake@sh.itjust.works 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.Oh man, that robe is awesome! Fits the mask really well too. :)
I really love that robe and wish it was real
Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points 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.
Bing prompt was “A highly detailed face pretending to be a spooky mask. San rio style, cgi”
Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points That’s definitely a spooky mask. But it’s your prompt that makes it extra spooky, considering that this is supposed to be a face and not a mask.
I don’t know if it’s my connection, but your image isn’t showing. The image URL doesn’t seem to work either.
Edit: nevermind, it’s back again!Mander went hard down for the last day or so, likely from that.
