Bakapo - That is great!  I don't want to move a finger in fear of stirring it up, lol.  Taking dust to another level, ahh choooo...  ;) 

Dust bunnies a la Giger style... 

:sigh: SD is barfing crud that may or may not be real logos & sigs all over several batches of renders that had absolutely no mention of any particular artist, living or dead, in my prompts. I could probably clean it up in Photoshop because it's bloody distracting, not to mention ugly, but should I? Because if they're genuine tags that'd be cheating. Here's some specimens, anybody recognize 'em?

Too much coffee, or medication...  

Mid-J giger dust bunny

Bydrie - SD seems to do that more than other ai apps.  My guess is that the people who helped train it were just lazy and included a buch of stuff that also contained signatures.  You see it very rarely in midjourney and almost never in Wombo.  I haven't used Night Cafe enough to see any there. Not sure if there is a prompt for 'no signatures stupid ai', lol.  The ai is just adding it in as part of the image, so go ahead and photoshop to you hearts content, your furry kitties will thank you...  ;)

Lenord - You need to be about fifty years younger to ride that super bike eh. Still a cool looking machine and tune... 

I have a few lyric images on the go, but first here is one of the dragon/giger combos i like, thanks for some fun inspiration...  ;)

rhol: Giger dust bunnies are fascinating; part cute and part demonic.

That Dragon reminded me I had been working on one earlier today but I couldn't get what I wanted. This is one of the attempts.

Just happened to flash on this today on YT looking for something else and really liked the tune

Journey through the Milky Way

Budgie

In Bronze

Ha ha, I was looking for a cool giger dragon figure too, steel is a fun material.  Still tweaking to find the best one, will post when I do...  ;)

A lyric to image with midjourney, well one variation that is...  U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain,

See it driving nails,

Into the souls on the tree of pain.

From the firefly, a red orange glow,

See the face of fear,

Running scared in the valley below.

Now I have to try a dust bunny or two laughing. Main prompt was ornate makeup, fantasy realism... that's all I can remember :) I must  type them up. 

Can't wait to see your dust bunnies K...  :)

That tree has been SLIMED...and the road and the road side, note to self stay away from Nickelodeon road.

Yeah, I think we're gonna need to call Ghostbusters on that one. Love the dragons, they'd make terrific sculptures if you could only 3D print them; maybe there'll be an AI program for that too some day soon, who knows? Thanks for the advice on the kitties, I did indeed use the correct negative prompts to tell SD "don't do that signature/logo/watermark nonsense" but this time it merrily ignored them.  

I know a couple of Fractalists that have full lines of stuff, 3d printed fractal rings, bracelets, D&D Dice really cool stuff. But to get Full Mesh for any fractal to be a 3D mesh you have to jump through all kinds other apps to produce a viable mesh, too much for me. Been waiting for a one click add-on to MB3D and Bulber for years...Budhi say's he has one for Bulber but it's not, J-Wild fire guy say's he has one for Jwild but since it's a flame fractal (2.5D) it's hard to make a 3D mesh out of a 2D render,

Those dragons are fractals? Wow!

only solution and its crashy and can take a whole day, is to Zremesh and UV that then use Zprojection from the original to transfer the vertex colours

Meshlab loads them vertex coloured too, the real problem is neither program converts vertex colours to Ptex which is the format DAZ studio needs for textured meshes without UVs, 3Dcoat uses Ptex but the free print version at least cannot import those big ply files, DAZ studio easily loads the huge exported obj from all just has no UV or textures

Loving the dragons !!

For those who've seen the "Universe" pic in the gallery - this was the original upscale before remaster.  I love how remaster alters things (except last week it changed 2 men into women!!)

The prompt: the universe in a glass bauble, Eagle Nebula, magical, fantasy,

the 1000x1000x1000 Mandelbulber3D PLY exports load vertex coloured into Zbrush but they are a billion polys and almost impossible to UV map,

We were walking the canal towpath with the hounds this morning .... I love looking at the names on the narrowboats.  Some are so creative/funny/strange.

One this morning was "The Land of Green Ginger".  I just HAD to give that a go in MidJ :)

... and the remaster gives us this :)

I like that, super stuff...and yeah mother natures fractals 😁

Bullet The Blue Sky - first verse... wombo

Cool I didn't recognize the title at first, geeze one of my fav songs off my fav U2 album

Bullet the Blue Sky 

I think the dust bunnies are planning a counter attack...

Wombo

the dust bunnies have moved outside... no place is safe now. :) 

A couple of fractal experiments with the new V4 on MJ

The "outside" dust bunnies are awesome.  

Gill, the MJ and V4 are super.  

That 2nd one make me think of Quixicotal the  Aztec God

wow, Gill, those V4 in MJ are fabulous!

They are indeed. :sigh: Midjourney is sooo tempting. Alas, not in my budget right now. Maybe someday. Right now I am trying to fix Maple Kitty's eye. The original ain't bad, but it's also not quite right. Then again, I am blind and got the evidence to prove it. Which one looks best to all you sighted folks around here?

Upscale > Beta Upscale Redo > Detailed Upscale Redo > Remaster

Only downside is currently V4 doesn't support custom ar or iw

Thanks, that's the version I've been painting all afternoon to get the eye sorted. Which direction? Feel free to mark it up so I can see what you mean.

Liquify, huh? Hadn't thought of that, must see if I can find it and if it works the same for me. My Photoshop is good ol' CS2, did not buy into the subscription racket. It ain't supposed to run on any Windows past XP, afaik, but on Win 11 it's running even better than my old 7 box. :fingers crossed:

Well, I found Liquify, now to figure it out. It's insanely tiny and there's no undo. If I screw it up,  gotta start all over again. Have to use a LOT of magnifier to see what's going on, a whole bunch of settings I'm not sure of. Last and only time I used it was maybe 20 years ago, in Photoshop 7 if I recall, and that was a trial copy I had. So I'm very not sure what the heck I'm doing. What settings did you use?

Ok, think I've got it. This better?

f_c=z^2+c the mandelbrot set this a variation

Second Life Syndrome

BioMech Dragon statue

Byrdie - Your kitty looks purrfect!

Gill - Such cool renditions of V4, gonna have to look through my old Daz files

Bakapo - That Wombo version of the U2 song turned out super nice!

Len - BioMech, that's one I hadn't thought of, cool dragon!

I like the way the field turned out in this one...  ;)

Gill - Thought you ment Victoria 4, lol, my bad...  

rhol_figament:  that field is incredible.  I am awestruck.

Oh, and I use CS3.  I have CS6 but prefer 3.  No interest in the new subscription stuff

Oh Dragon San You know what I was thinking looking at that field...CROP CIRCLES, could be interesting

The King called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the Minarets
Down the Casbah way

used these lyrics from

Rock the Casbah

Tried all kinds of variations of this but for some reason MidJ don't like doing Jet fighters or I don't know how to describe them (I was in the Army not the Air Force) so I Shoped up some Bird Brushes touched some to make them look like Jets...Oh  well it is what it is
