@Luna -- I don't mind you playing with John, it's Sherlock you gotta watch out for. Very possessive of his blogger, that one is. ;-) 

2nd of your tries is very close to what I was going for, actually almost had it to that point but thought chair back too off/narrow. Then again, was a slightly different styled chair. But it is very helpful in seeing where it needs to be, so thanks very much for that.

@gill -- Even your failures are good. But that last one ... perfect! Real ones would sell like hot cakes around here, especially in tourist season. And I'd likely be first in line to buy.

Have a few more ideas I want to try out in SD now, I refuse to be defeated by a chair. Even if it is a posh leather one. :-)

Never fails go away for a couple three days and get left in the dust, took me over an hour to go back to what I remember and the then catch up on everybody. Awesome work everyone.

Had to go and seek help with that Motor S&S hooked me up with their resident Maestro here in EP, nice guy not sure he even shaves yet but seems to know these Motors like the back of his hand...I feel old, Told him what was up damn thing won't start, explained my setup said that sounds fine it's the Brain and fuse box. Gave me a manual on the motor and the sensor system, there is a set of Dip Switches you need to set up for diff sensor arrays and there is one particular setting called Cold Start that enables only what you need to start  the Motor, well don't I feel stupid now. He fixed me up good with the knowledge I need to handle this Motor I think tried the Cold Start setting and that beast roared to life on the second hit on the starter. Roared being the operative word, it's a gas breathing Fire snorting Beast of a Motor I was grinning war to ear hearing it Roar, here we go time to start all the planning, sent that Red Jammer frame off this morning for an Acid bath, Anodizing and Powder Coating in Black, start looking at Front ends and Wheels. This is going to take a while got to do it right, I'm going to ride it it better be right.

Remember a few pages back I did those Jungle Recon scenes, well I used one of those images and did a "/description" on it, one of the choices it gave me was this "john cusack and jonah tucker in trolls, in the style of war photography, guatemalan art, detailed narrative compositions, chaotic environments, detail-oriented, cobra, photo taken with nikon d750" I said WTF, now I like John Cusack been in a lot of movies I like a lot but Trolls C'mon so I just had to see. Weird I don't know

That ... is so darned wrong it's actually good. Twisted, weird and wonderful, the AI makes 'em all. :-)

@ Darkglass thanks for that prompt a few days back first chance I've had to experiment with it, never used niji before just thought it's not me but it could be me. First thing I noticed was --s 899 choice and Style expressive. Didn't think that would work or one would negate the other but take one or the other out and the whole thing changes, curious. The other thing I noticed niji seems more susceptible to subtle changes in (what I call) Style points and chaos factor than other versions of Mid-J, even more curious. Thanks man for turning me into a niji fan gotta do more playing with this...

Porcupine Tree - Chimera's Wreck

OK man I'm convinced niji mode is cool, added some stuffs took away some stuffs, liked what I saw in all cases. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of niji is included in v 6, I find it more acceptable of major changes without affecting the over all image in a way you don't want, I like it S%& it is me.

Playing around with the prompt I think next experiment will be to make the ladies into a Hakujin josei...look at me even speaking Japanese now, yeah??

Yes: Heart of the Sunrise

Still playing with niji...changed type of Camera lens and focal settings, didn't change as much as I thought it might. Then I added a white chick that just overpowered everything and it appears the white chick doesn't like Spacesuits...

Heart of the Sunrise: YES

Lunaseas.... Super setting...for Eeyore and a great take on the character...!

Rhol...very cool looking Tales from the loop.. image...hard believe there has only ever been one season of the show.. 

Gill...Great set of images fail or not....

Len...john Cusack with trolls....well i never would have thought of it in a million years...!...your welcome good to see you enjoying the anime world, very cool looking characters and many possibilities to explore...

Cool stuff Len!  I'm still mess'n with it too, sometimes for the better and sometimes way off the mark, lol.  Still fun to see the different outfits and you can remove the niji from the prompt for a different style.  Going through a bunch of different punk styles at the moment.  No doubt Darkglass will always be a step ahead, ha, but that's ok, something to strive for.  Here's an example with and without the niji, just cut the prompt after the --s899...

Lovely looking characters and setting rhol.... always got to be a little step ahead...LOL

Thanks guys, gonna have some dinner now but plan on doing some more exps a little later this evening.

1 off's pulled from other sets....Simply logically impossible to show ever complete set..

Pirates Cove....

Distant Worlds...

Good work guys, all the women are beautiful.

Darkglass, I will never get tired of pirate ships, yours look great!

Underhill? Bilbo Baggins.....and under hills and over hills my paths lead. And through the air! I am he who walks unseen!

"My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, .I am fire and my breath death"

Some drippy sparkles and black backgrounds...

Wombo

More experiments, like how easy it is to change from the illustrated anime style to more photo realistic just by style points alone

Steven Wilson - Drive Home

Gill - Great job on the ship in a jar, (previous page) but even the fails look good, gotta like it when that happens, lol..  :)

Darkglass - Space marine and gal with the nice 'cough' jacket, what can I say.  You also have some excellent sci fi lands, we should do a landscape challenge some time.  I was also hoping for a season 2 of Tales from the loop, no news yet, but keep fingers crossed...

Excellent stuff Darkglass...those Dragons look as nasty as My new Motor sounds

Bakapo - Always enjoy your Wombo!  I'm trying a few drippy sparkles myself now, I'll post up if I find anything cool...  ;)

DG - Awesome dragons, lik'n all the sharp details!

Len - Ya, playing with the style points does change things up.  You've given me an idea to try one of the original Star Trek crew girls.  They always had them in short skirts... 

I didn't know he was also a paranormal investigator and medium who can speak with spirits...

Sorry Byrdie, Lunaseas made me do it, ha ha...  :)

Strange worlds...

Tom Clancy does some good stuff Len, read some of the books and I have Jack Ryan on the to watch list...

Another fav Yes song Len, also been listening to Topographic Oceans, gotta luv a twenty minute song eh...

Yes - Heart Of The Sunrise

Yeah man gotta love long Prog-Rock songs...one of my favorite tee shorts says Your song is 3 minuets then a big Prog-Rock then it says 3 mins is just my Lead-in

Niji Dragons

Riverside - Ultimate Trip

@rhol -- Yikes! Who did you mix him with? Nice character blend, whoever it is, even if he does look a bit young. As for speaking with the spirits and investigating paranormal mysteries, Archive of Our Own (a.k.a. AO3) has all kinds of Sherlockian fanfic with those themes. Only fitting, given Sir Arthur's interest in the occult. 

Adobe Express has free beta access to Firefly, so I tried it out a little this afternoon. Some things not bad, it gave me a couple chairs to try sitting Watson on. Unfortunately it mucked up the coloring I'd used on the walls by totally ignoring my curves and hue/sat layers. Worse, it would not let me download my edits as a .psd file, only a .png. With no layers and everything merged. But, it is helpful as a guide to where to place that blasted chair and I'm certain I can find a workaround for the things I don't like about it. Oh well, that's why they call it a beta. Anyway, here's what I got. Do feel free to mark it up, point & laugh, etc. Just no rotten tomatoes, the stains are a right b**ch to get out. ;-)

Colour sucks and will be fixed. No, I don't mean the sweater, rather attached to that pattern and it suits the story. Would be ever so much easier if I could just transfer it to any of the other renders from the same prompt that need less work but have unfortunately plain or even ugly purple jumpers. So far I have not figured out how to make that design again. A couple of times came a little close but no joy. In Daz or Poser I could pull that trick off with shaders, too bad there is no material room equivalent for Stable Diffusion. 

See? This one needs minimum fixing and I like the room and pose and the chair and ... well, everything except that dirty pink it made the jumper. In spite of my specifying the same three colours as before in the very same order. Might still do something with it, though. Too good to waste.

This is some cool sh*t Len, unleashing the inner beast!  Or DG has created a monster, lol...

Good to hear about the bike adventure and that you're mending up well from the bathroom brawl, ha.  Hi's to Lou and woof to the Zo...

I have your report ready Captain...

Well Star Trek was an early tv show to a mostly male audience, lol.  Now I need to find the green skin Orion girls that Kirk liked..  ;)

Billy Squire - lonely is the night

Thanks DG for the digital fun, always an adventure!

Surreal Spaceships:

Ok, so I'm a Magpie! Sparklies get me going! LOL!

LeonardoAI: Sparklie Iridescent D&D Figures on black backgrounds.

Super stuff @everyone!

I probably won't be around much over the weekend.  Although I'm still recovering from my recent "trip", we have a few things planned....out and about.   Tomorrow, I will have reached THAT age that the Beatles sang about when I was a kid ;)

Stained glass table lamps

@gill  Stop that. Please. Stop making so many lovely things I want to buy but can't! It is so not fair these don't exist in real life. 

Nah, keep it up. I'll just have to live with my disappointment while admiring the pretty pictures. :-)

Here we go - as if by magic, the ad  popped up on FB again :)

Ah, nuts. That store is gone out of business ever since April. Closed 4 days early in fact and their website also appears to be gone. Pity. :-(

Well that's very odd as they're advertising on Facebook.  Unless they paid for a 1 year plan or something!!   But, the positive news is if they sold them, others may just do the same....ya never know :)

Yep, Google "stained glass animal lamps" or "tiffany animal lamps" 

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out, might get lucky on Amazon or some such. Also possible that only the Bed & Bath stores in Canada went up the spout. That happened with Sears, all ok on the US side though I think they did close some American branches & restructure the company, but out of business elsewhere. Was a big loss both in jobs and for customers, particularly in areas where it was the best or often the only way to get goods. Especially those of us who needed specialty sizes at a time when those were nearly impossible to find locally.

rhol would say, "you can't have too many dragons".  Hope that includes surreal ones.  ;-)

Nice stuff everyone!  Have fun on your day Gill...  :)

I had a quick look on Amazon (UK) and there are a few, including some cats so yes, you may get lucky :D

Bakapo....lovely drippy sparkles..!.. super contrast and light...

Len...Nice experiments with the style points, also great set of Niji Dragons...

Rhol... cool....Strange worlds, Star Trek girls nailed it on them...plenty to pick from in the star trek universe...! Great dragon too..

Ladylake cool looking Surreal Spaceships and dragons...

Steve....sparkly Iridescent D&D Figures, there's a first for everything....

Gill...very stylish and colorful stained glass table lamps, 

Byrdie.. I have no doubt you will get there in the end...your last image posted is the best at this point,

Blue Yonder...

....always up for a challenge rhol....!!...landscape challenge....whatever takes your fancy..

I'm still in the moody dark gothic medieval atmosphere...vibe...in pretty much everything i have recently done...

Dark and moody...Run with the Pack.....

Final revision on the minimalist black and white, white and black....
