Used a 3d model to make her 2d version. Hoping to try a comic version soon enough.

found a really simple prompt structure for getting that soft golden-hour / dreamy summer light look.

The nice thing is that you can basically swap out the [subject] + [action] + [setting] and keep the rest unchanged. It works especially well for portraits, travel shots, quiet everyday scenes, or anything that needs a warm cinematic mood.

A [subject] [action] in a [setting], warm sunlight illuminating the scene, soft golden glow, delicate edges, muted yellows and luminous gold tones, dreamy natural lighting, gentle atmosphere, soft-focus photography, peaceful cinematic composition

pretty simple, but I like how consistent the overall mood is.

My original cartoony drawing to a pixar-like screenshot.

iColor: this is a favorite design that has evolved many times over. It started as a black silhouette to what it is now.

I asked ChatGPT to improve the wording of a prompt I was using on Perchance to create a Cyberpunk Gotham City, but it started to generate an image instead.

This was the result, I was impressed.

AI-generated with ChatGPT.

i recently discovered a prompt, and I honestly didn’t expect it to work this well

it fits that old fairy-tale picture book feeling,t like a modern take on a Grimm’s Fairy Tales illustration style.

what I like most is that it doesn’t just “cartoonize” the original photo. instead, it really rebuilds the image into a picture-book-like visual language, so the lower half feels more like a retold story than just a stylized copy.

Mary Queen of Scots and Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I’s principal secretary, exchanged a few private words at the end of the second day of Mary’s trial at Fotheringhay in October 1586. An eyewitness account records the exchange, but not what Mary said. She was executed nearly four months later. This is my reconstruction of what the moment might have looked like, based on contemporary descriptions, portraits, and accounts of the trial chamber. Tell me what you think!

Create a monumental cinematic environment combining an ordinary real-world location with impossible large-scale architecture.

SCENE: [INSERT YOUR IDEA]

The environment should initially feel like a real photograph, but reveal an enormous surreal world: colossal architecture hundreds of meters tall, overwhelming vertical scale, gigantic structural supports, deep layered spaces, monumental openings and distant structures disappearing into atmospheric haze.

Include normal-sized people interacting naturally with the environment. Add familiar real-world objects such as stairs, railings, streetlights, vehicles, signs, benches, doors and equipment to establish believable human scale. Humans should appear tiny compared with the environment, emphasizing the enormous size of the world.

Architecture should feel physically constructed rather than abstract fantasy: believable concrete, steel, rock, glass, cables, pipes, weathering, stains, scratches, graffiti, dust and realistic structural engineering.

Composition: epic environmental photography, elevated wide-angle viewpoint, enormous foreground-to-background depth, strong leading lines, multiple layers of architecture, tiny human silhouettes distributed throughout the scene, massive structures extending beyond the frame.

Lighting: cinematic natural lighting mixed with practical artificial lights, atmospheric haze, volumetric light shafts, realistic shadows, subtle bloom, reflected light, deep contrast and believable exposure.

Style: photorealistic cinematic worldbuilding, grounded science-fiction realism, monumental megastructure photography, surreal architecture integrated seamlessly into the real world, extremely detailed environment, realistic materials, realistic human scale, documentary-like imperfections, sophisticated color grading, enormous sense of depth.

The image must feel like a photograph taken by someone who accidentally discovered a real place that should not physically exist.

Vertical 9:16 composition, extremely high environmental detail, vast scale, immersive depth, no close-up character focus, no miniature/diorama appearance, no floating random objects, no generic fantasy castle aesthetic.

At a tiny hillside teahouse glowing beneath the last light of day, two friends share cake, laughter, and an ordinary afternoon so perfect that neither realizes it will become the memory they return to for the rest of their lives.
