Description
"Am lost. Position assistance?" Little Bit inquired of the creature that stood silently in front of it.
The rabbit sniffed the little automaton unable to provide it with assistance.
Molly's art notes: Little Bit and Anniemation's bunny were set up and rendered with Poser 12.0.1029. The background was rendered by Darkglass using Midjourney AI software. It was all composited together with Photoshop. I did a better picture using Darkglass' background to be found here:

This picture is my original idea which I thought might be worth sharing. I think the robot is an inferior choice as a character but it was the first place my crazy mind went so I went ahead and finished the picture. I believe the first post with Chull is definitely a better choice. I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about this, my dear colleagues! =)

another magical gem.
Thanks for commenting, ED. I don't think it's as good as my other use of the background from Darkglass, but it was the first idea for using it that crossed my mind and I thought I'd see how well I could execute the idea. =)

Very cute!
Thank you. I think this version of my effort to use the AI image by Darkglass is a bit less effective than the first one I shared but I really wanted to try my idea of a little lost robot in this beautiful fairy forest scene. =)

Funny looking image, I think your work is getting better and better, keep it up. Have a nice Sunday and a good start into the new week!
Thank you, Ute. I really owe a lot to Anniemation and Circle_Man for the cute characters (not to mention Darkglass for the lovely AI image I used as a background). =)

Très jolie image, belle ambiance, vraiment charmant.
Merci, mon cher Roger ! Charmant est un mot parfait pour le sentiment que j'espérais que cette image générerait.
Molly
That's fantastic! Love it!
Thanks, Annie. I really enjoyed adding the rabbit. I love your critters and hope to be using them in more of my images. <3

A splendid idea that worked out very nicely! I like the descriptive which explains it all and sets it up for the characters interactions. Very fine use of Darkglass's background. Bravo, Molly! A most delightful work!
Thank you, my dear. I feel like the other pictures using the background with Chull as the main character was better but I REALLY had to see if I could make this idea work! XD
Molly
SUPER cute!!!
Thank you! I wasn't quite sure that this would work. =)

So ya did the robot after all :)
He is a cutie and he won't east the rabbit...
Thanks, JD. I decided to try (as a challenge to myself) to do the image that I had rejected as not the best use of Darkglass' lovely background. I am so pleased that you think it came out well! <3

Really nice work. I'll be honest, I like this version better. This one feels like it has more of a way to draw one into the world. The extreme dichotomy of the two characters makes it that much more poignant. This one eludes to or tells a story. The other one with Chull, is very good and the character definitely matches the environment. To me it is a well done work, but this one hints at a story, at least to me it does. Also, the vulnerability of the robot, which is conveyed in the stance and the choice of words you use, creates something that people can relate to. It has all the characteristics for a good fiction story. So, I like this one more. :)
Why thank you! As mentioned in my "art notes" this was my initial idea of how to use the background. It pleases me that it spoke to you a bit; it certainly speaks to me. In the back of my mind I was maybe responding to an enjoyable science fiction story I finished a few months ago: "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers. If you enjoy science fiction/fantasy it's worth a read. =)

Thank you for the information on a sci/fi work. I'm always interested in seeing what other sci/fi is out there. I have added it to my want to read list.
You're most welcome! I hope you will enjoy the book should you have the chance to read it! =)
