He knows what you've been thinking, he knows when you're alone,
he knows if you've been bad or good, and he might just take your bones.

Yule: Pagan celebration of the winter solstice

Dall-E Prompt: A young woman secretly celebrates winter solctice festivities together with small forest animals: a squirrel, a marmot and a rabbit are sitting around a small spruce tree that is decorated with natural materials found in the woods: nuts, pears, mushrooms. It is a snowy fullmoon winter night, stars twinkle in the sky and snow is on the mossy ground. The image style is acrylic painting.

steaming hot spiced lemon tea on wood table in front of lit fireplace, in the style of luminous reflections, uhd image, rtx on, lively tavern scenes. warm, cheerful, comfortable, serene, toasty --s 750

[-] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Someone appreciates lighting in their prompts. I'm a big fan of adding 'subsurface scattering', 'x colour highlights'/midtones/shadows, for precise lighting control, brown and tan are wonderful lighting colours.

Going back to the pagan winter festival of Yule!

When people would decorate their dwellings with evergreens like holly, ivy, pine branches and mistletoe....and how the traditions of old have been absorbed into 'modern' day Christmas

Prompt-

3 pagan winter creatures, one made out of mistletoe, another made out of holly and ivy, and another made out of pine branches and pine needles, sat around a burning yule log, photo realistic style, ratio 16.9

(I did ask for 3 creatures and ended up with an extra one)

Happy New Year!

Happy new year!
Prompt: photograph of happy little kids holding sparklers at night during new year's eve, in a suburb with fireworks exploding in the background, panoramic view, 18mm, Disposable Camera --ar 4:3 --s 75

A memory of when I was little, we'd go out and light sparklers together before the "real" fireworks were set off at midnight. It felt so special to be out in the dark and getting to hold those sparklers.

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Oh come on! (Excitement expressed as false exasperation)

I really thought this was a real picture taken by a cheap camera somewhere in the late 90s.

The clothes are right, the slightly out of focus kid on the right is spot on, the ... Everything is there!

I see that you have disposable camera in the prompt, the generator sure nailed that look.

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

I was quite surprised with how well it came out myself! Though I had to retry a few times to get the sparkler in their hand :)
Choosing a camera type in Midjourney can really make a difference if you want to go for realistic photos. Here's a few of my runner-ups (behind a spoiler to keep the thread a bit clean):

Amazing! There must be millions of pictures in this style that have beens scanned over the years and ended up getting scooped up for training data. Any one of these could be mistaken for a real photo.

The prompt was "Xmas dinner, Norman Rockwell painting style. The dinner is enjoyed by sentient Xmas ornaments, they are eating presents." And on the first try I got this happy accident:

Yikes, can't unsee the dog child hybrid in the lower left

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 8 points 11 months ago

The best part is that no where in my prompt did I type dog or anything dog like. That's all the Bingers baby.

[-] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

I'm wondering what the hell is being served for dinner....are they going to be eating roast dog????

A Christmas everyone will definitely remember lol

Inspired by the ABC Article "North Korea was floundering under sanctions. Now it's making billions from stolen cryptocurrency" I thought it would be nice to cast Santa and Kim Jong Un as friends. My biggest worry about this picture is that it portrays crypto in a positive light, that's probably not as light hearted as I intended.

Bing Dall-E. Prompt: "Santa Claus has a manic smile as he helps the Supreme Leader of North Korea count their bitcoin." Bing blacklists the words "Jim Jong Un" but this synonym seems to work.

Generated this on Artbreeder back in late October/early November. If that's too old to use, then I'll withdraw it. Source image was a random red and green picture with skulls and test tubes that I found on the site. I was rolling a lot of goth ladies at the time so I put some Christmas themed words into the prompt I'd been using in order to see what would happen. Prompt is below, and link will be provided if requested.

"Kentaro Miura, stanley artgerm, Yusuke Murata. christmas elf goth girl, albino, full body. epic, cinematic, intricate lace, stunning, mystical, gothic, goth,occult, mystic, hd, hq, cinematic, highly detailed digital art, very realistic, beautiful, fantasy, surreal, dream, many small details, concept art, illustration"
