    Very nice!

    What are you using for the glowy? Is it just prompt based, or a lora? I recently got a bioluminescence one that it reminds me of, but I’m not the best prompt-smith so my art looks very little like yours 😂

      Prompt based, I’ve been given advice in here to look into lora based but I have started digging through that yet.

      Here is my whole prompt for the first image and then the rest were redirections after: (the first paragraph is for style, the rest is for composition, my style paragraphs I save once they get reliable repeatable results from Dall-E)

      Create an image using an art style with Dynamic Posing and Composition with energetic poses capturing characters in mid-action bringing a sense of movement and intensity. Detailed and Intricate Work with a high level of detail with intricate work that is particularly evident in depictions of muscular anatomy and complex costume designs. Bold, Expressive Faces conveying a wide range of emotions effectively including subtle expressions. Strong Use of Shadows and Contrasts the art features strong contrasts between light and shadow, adding a dramatic flair to this image emphasizing the mood and tone of the scene. Includes detailed backdrops that enrich the environment in which the characters interact. Influence of Manga, the style shows an influence from Manga, evident in the way characters have exaggerated features and dynamic action sequences.

      This is a highly detailed and vivid artwork that portrays a fantasy scene featuring a female figure with an ethereal and mystical appearance. The woman has dark, lustrous hair adorned with intricate golden jewelry that includes chains, beads, and blue gemstones, evoking a sense of regal and exotic elegance. Her skin is painted with luminescent blue markings that match the glowing blue eyes of the large skull she rests upon, suggesting a connection to the arcane or the otherworldly.

      The skull is massive, hinting at a creature of formidable size, possibly draconic or mythical in nature. It has a deep, dark color with highlights that give it a sense of being recently wet, as if submerged. The glowing blue in its eye sockets and the liquid dripping from them have an eerie, spectral quality, which might imply magical or supernatural energy at play.

      Her attire appears to be a combination of armor and elegant costume, with reflective, dark materials that are both sleek and protective. The armor is accented with golden elements that complement her jewelry, and the entire outfit suggests a balance between functionality and ceremony.

      The backdrop is dimly lit and ambiguous, which casts the focus on the woman and the skull. The lighting seems to emanate from below and from the glow within the skull, creating a dramatic contrast and enhancing the mystical atmosphere.

      The overall composition of the image, with its dark palette punctuated by points of light and the striking blue glow, gives it a mood of powerful magic and somber beauty. The woman’s contemplative pose and direct gaze add to the enigmatic story this image suggests, leaving a viewer to ponder her story, the nature of the skull, and the world they inhabit.

        Wow, beautiful! That is a lot of detail, enriching. You make some good art, man.

        (I definitely need to work on my prompt building - compared to you and my husband, I sound like a caveman 😅 ) Loras are fun - it’s basically what I use to make up for my stunted prompts. But it is a whole different rabbit hole to get into :-P

          I cheat with my prompts. I find an image that’s close to what I want to do, dump it into Chat GPT and prompt it with: Describe this image in extraordinary detail at great length.

          I then alter what it gives me in the places I want it different and paste that back into Dall-E 3. I figure it’s going to know the phrasing it’ll best understand to get an effect.

          The style prompts at the beginning don’t come with the output. But those I got by asking it to describe different styles in the same detail so I can replicate it.

          Only the broken pixel style I use was made completely from scratch. All others started as an output from Chat GPT that I’ve alerted to get a more consistent result and a result that’s more in line with what I see in my head.

            Hahaha - it’s not cheating, it’s using all the tools at your disposal! I simply haven’t learned how to do that yet :-P At any rate, there’s a talent there. Kudos

            We do have an LLM that is fed a prompt (built randomly), which it A) uses to build a better and more descriptive prompt and B) to create a “headline” or title for the image. It is entirely silly 😂

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
