Len - I watched some of that hot wheels show, gave me the idea to try some in mid-j.  Like you there were a few I liked and a few that were crappy...  

More weirdness...Flowerheads?

Set 2

That's it for tonight

Len - That's some cool stuff!  I think you and Brent 2000 are smoking the same stuff, lol...  

This is a fav, v5.2 seems to give better color and contrast with good dof and detailed backgrounds...

Thought I'd try a few date night ideas...

Cool images Len and Rhol!

Rhol, maybe you should add the words “stood up” to your date night prompt to see what emotions that will evoke :)

Y'all been busy being weird! Real life has intruded on my creative time.

Brent2000 - That's a good idea, lol,  I will add 'stood up' to the prompt and see what happens.  I'm guessing some angry looks, ha ha...  ;)

One word prompt if anyone wants to try.  It can go off into many directions I'm sure...

Shenanigans

3:2

7:4

This is what mid-j gave me on the first roll, I actually like number three...

Here’s some shenanigans…

the First set is just shenanigans

The rest are “turbulent shenanigans”

And one zoom 2…

Now that's some turbulent shenanigans all right...  ;)

Is she sad because she got stood up, or is she mad...

Ya, she's mad...

My contribution to Chloe's Wall of Weird!

turbulent shenanigans --ar 7:4

turbulent shenanigans, cinematic --ar 7:4

turbulent shenanigans, cinematic --s 500 --ar 7:4

Adding some stylize points kicks it into warp gear...  ;)

Don Felder - Heavy Metal

Steve Co - I would say those are a perfect addition to the weird...  ;)

Funny how we all find shrooms and fungus things in all the ai apps...

Had to try another one with that last setting...

turbulent shenanigans, cinematic --s 500 --ar 7:4

Fun stuff...  :)

And for WendyLovesCats, so she doesn't get HR on my azz again, ha ha.  Equal rep and all that.  So don't get mad at the guy ladies, maybe he feels just as bad.  It was just a glitch and they each went to a different place.  Hope they get another chance...

Alannah Myles - Black Velvet

Waiting for her date ... (Deep Dream)

Cool and creative image's and idea's Len and rhol.. Great stuff..!! 

Ya''ll is just up to all kinds of shenanigans ain't ya'll...well lets see what I can get up to

Midjourney has come up with a new one just for you lot !!

Experimental --weird command

This command makes your images look more weird / edgy

Do not consider this a stable feature, what's weird may change over time

It goes from --weird 0 to --weird 1000 (actually 3000 but idk if you need it that weird)

The strength of this command is dynamic with the prompt (you may need to adjust it prompt-to-prompt)

We recommend starting with smaller values such as 250 or 500 and then go up/down from there

If you want it to look weird AND pretty you should try using --stylize along with your weird

If you use --stylize with weird we recommend using a equal value for both parameters

Combining --weird with --seed is a bit messed up right now, make sure you set --weird 0 if you want to do comparisons

Comparisons.  Used same seed for consistency.  Maybe not the best subject, but it was the first thing I thought of

shenanigans 

WOW, everyone!!! Cool Stuff. I must try weird and shenanigans and weird shenanigans, now.

Right now, all I have is one wombo horror. I don't do horror very well. Lol

Made with phone app.

I tried all the combos of the Stood Up Idea with a Biker gets stood up, dumped and the cold shoulder and Zip. My conclusions Bikers don't get Stood Up or Bikers don't date...

or if they do get stood up a good Ride and the shenanigans that ensue is a cure all...see next set

The Ride after

Tried the weird thing

the lord of the rings character is smiling, in the style of distorted and grotesque, cottagepunk --ar 16:9 --v 5.2

the lord of the rings character is smiling, in the style of distorted and grotesque, cottagepunk --ar 16:9 --v 5.2 --weird 399

started with a weird LOTR dude just see how weird works with weird

Two birds with one stone....shenanigans and --weird, that's my quota of the strange and weird, was super fun...one word prompts are, 

...And a couple that are not so strange and weird.. but still very cool...!

Hot and humid out today.  This looks like a good way to cool down -- if only I'd learned how to swim.

Superheroes or supervillains but with a few twists and modern look...

#1 Modern take on Wolverine but with the original 1974 suit design...

#2 Modern take on Cat woman..

#3 Modern take on Poison Ivy..

#4 Modern take on Punisher..

#5 Shuri, Black Panther... wakanda forever...

#6 Classic Hulk...!!

#7 Modern take on Firestorm ( female version )

#8 Modern take on Captain America ( iron cap )..done in the style of ironman suit...

I think I mentioned a while ago that I've teamed up with an author - he's doing the writing, I'm doing the piccies.

Well, his writings have rubbed off on me hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!   Never been much of a storytellier in the word stakes, but I'd been doing a few with the help of ChatGPT.

Today, however, I did a little storyette all on my own.

Obviously couldn't leave out.. Harley Quinn V5.2....batter up HQ...!

Contemplation....

One idea leads to another...So we have,

#1 Hello old friend..

# 2 #3 and #4 Traveling Companion..

# 5 and #6...Myths and Legends..

Discombobulated shenanigans.

Leonardo AI.

Discombobulated Weird shenanigans.

Leonardo AI.

Pulled from a multitude of sets....Last ones from me...i'm out indefinitely..

I'm beginning to wonder just how sane I am.

So many excellent pics here, very creative and inspiring. Love the superhero tuff and the date night series and those fantastic shenanigans, to name just a few. Gill, that naughty sock puppet doggo tale is adorable. Would go over really well with the tiny munchkins, I'll bet.

And just to show it ain't only the young folk out looking for fun on a hot summer's day:

What? out indefinitely what exactly does that mean Darkglas....Tired of AI or art period, need a break man don't go forever Brother many of us need new heights to strive for and you're one of the reasons for that, trying to be as good as DG. 

Wha-? Out? Indefinitely? Please tell me that just means vacation or some such, nothing bad I hope. You're an inspiration, new Darkglass posts are one of the highlights of my day in this place. Not to mention all the helpful advice and suggestions you give -- oh dear, did we burn out your batteries? Recharge, yes, but please don't stay gone if at all possible. ::hugs::

Well, I just got back and DG is out?   Tell me it ain't so.   You guys have done a ton of amazing stuff while I have been gone....each and every one of you.  No way I can catch up on all the pages I missed, so will just start from day forward again.  lol  

Good luck to those working on their computers.  I know how frustrating that can be.  Helping my daughter on a project she started so my time will be more limited.  But I will be checking in often.  

Darkglass,  I hope you are coming back, your images are  truly amazing. 

ladylake, welcome back.

Gill, the story of Breeze is very cute.

Don't be gone too long Darkglass, I'll have withdrawals if I don't get my DG fix...  ;)

The heat must be getting to my computer. Only way to explain this:

No, that was NOT in the least bit intentional. Prompt was: John Watson, in a red swimsuit at the beach, happy little smile, sexy, dynamic pose, highly detailed skin, finely detailed, dramatic, action, cinematic, volumetric sunlight, high quality, digital painting, artstation, concept art, smooth, sharp focus, illustration -- and of course the usual negatives. None of my other beach boys turned up in such outfits, the only change made here is the name "John Watson" replacing "good looking male model". It did throw one female in the batch, and no, she couldn't pass for his twin sister. The SD model used is my preferred one for these particular characters, so I was not expecting that from it. Weird or what?

I hope my grumps didn't send DG packin'! Ya'll are driving me heat crazy with those hot guys!
