And a couple of runner-ups:


I'm really bad these kinds of technical challenges, but it was fun to try.
Ever dipped your hand into a pot of heated mozzarella?
not THAT hot!
I mean.. erm... no.. never..
Beautiful and disgusting at the same time. I don't want to look at it but I can't look away.
Yea, sorry about that.. It wasn't my intention to turn to body horror, but I do love the end result.
Like happy trees, no accidents, just happy terrifying visages!

I had a feeling that Stable Diffusion wouldn't be able to generate what I was looking for, and I was right. So I turned to Dalle, which gave me some okay, but bland images. Then I took ideas from those and went to MidJourney where I got some beautiful images, but just not quite right. But I got some more stylizing ideas from those. Back to Dalle and got a good, but still bland image. Now it's SD to the rescue!
I started with inpainting the the surrounding cityscape bit by bit using one of my favorite realistic models Photon. Then with the Unstable Diffusers Nihilmania SDXL model, I proceeded to fix up the crack in the street. First the outline of the cracks, and then the inside with the Pixel Art XL lora.
Original Dalle prompt:
realistic digital art, a deserted city street at dusk, shimmering with the soft glow of street lamps, parts of the asphalt crack wide open, subtly revealing bright, pulsating binary code beneath, widescreen aspect ratio
Digimon vibes
Holy crap that's beautiful! I clearly still have so much to learn.
Thanks! Endless youtube videos and experimentation for a year help a bit
Am still early in that cycle then! I hope to be there soon.
Btw, I forgot to mention that the pixels of the tree being pulled away looks really cool.

The colors are fantastic!!

Considering the syncing problems with lemmy.world, I've recalculated the scores. Taking @BallShapedMan@lemmy.world's scores for workflow, most original and favorite into account.

@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world, can you see if these scores are correct with the upvotes I've provided?

I remembered an article about False Vacuum (Wikipedia) when i thought about this challenge. We see the remains of an alternate reality, condensed to this little "Stone" by the pressure of our reality.
Made with comfyui, using outpainting. The workflow should be embedded in this picture (Catbox).

Prompt:
Model
The generation Process of the Base Image needs only 6 Steps at a CFG of 3 Thanks to the turbo Model.
The Outpainting needs 60 Steps and a CFG of 8.
workflow should be embedded into the picture
Unfortunately, I think lemmy strips the metadata as a safety precaution so people don't accidentally share their GPS coordinates when posting photos from their phones. A third party file sharing host is often used for sharing images with workflows intact, such as Google Drive, Catbox, etc.
Thank you for this valuable info. I did not realize this and should have tested this. I will put the original image in the post.
Edit: I´ve added the original image via Catbox in the top Post.
voilà, I've joined the evil forces of moo & poo!

chosen over

no "alternate reality" in this one :/
Nooooooo! Now there's two of them! :)

just a cute little entry. Let's see what happens! :)

prompt: mythic superwitch that eternally curses the entire area if downvoted for the third week in a row, (fracturing reality), (((absolutely beautiful))), ((ripping apart reality to get her way)), (crushing insignificant humans), (((haunting))), (((chilling))), (((foreboding))), Illustration, ((escalating vengeance)), (spreading decay)
Wow, this was tricky to find since it’s not stickied!
Here is the outcome of a lot of tweaks that started with the prompt in Dalle: “create an ultra detailed image of New York City with a glitch in the matrix”.

I'm guessing there is a problem with federation to lemmy.world. Another user from that instance is having the same problem. Check the home instance of this community at https://sh.itjust.works/c/imageai. It also shows as pinned on the sopuli.xyz instance.

The matrix like effect with the moon and the city is chefs kiss!
Not subtle, but I like it.

Prompt in the bingilator (first try but did 9 overall): A half harvest moon sailor moon. one half is a old black and white picture, the other a cartoon.
a double exposure photo of shops in Times Square, New York. The main image is modern day, but the faint double exposure is from around 1900
Great concept idea!
We're interconnected - good chemistry

Prompt @ Dall-E:
A photorealistic portrait of a woman and a man standing front to front at the edge of a forest, looking at each other, their skin is partly composed of subtle tiny molecules. It is visible that through the molecules they are interwoven with nature and the forest and everything. The image is displaying the connection between the human reality and the world of chemistry.
I love the message and imagery here.
oh 💩! this won't be easy 🙂
you worked for a month to get sd to do that.
The theme is the means and not the end.
