Houston, we've got contact!

Prompt: sci-fi movie still, of a scared lego astronaut aiming a pistol, at a huge normal cat, on a dining table, cinematic lighting --ar 4:3

[–] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How do you get so much great ideas ? No wonder why you win half of the challenges :)

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Thank you for the compliment!
I really don’t know, it’s a bit of an organic process. I usually start with a style or gimmick I’d like to use and go from there.

For this one I wanted to do a lego one because it seemed like fun and astronauts are very doable in lego.
At first I wanted to do a space madness kind of thing, where a human astronaut was slowly transforming into a lego character, but that was a bit too much to ask. So I figured let’s put a lego astronaut in a normal setting but make it an adventure. The cat was a logical next step :)

And I make a LOT of tries and variations with the prompt. But seeing all the weird and wonderful failed images is half the fun :)

Here’s a small selection of them

Edit: Forgot to say thank you. I was raised better than this :)

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 9 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Hmmm, well I failed at this one. But on the plus side the result is funny.

"An astronaut is picking up samples on a strange planet, but the astronaut does not know that the planet is actually a very large sailor moon head" In the bingilator, 25 plus tries.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I picked this as the most original of the submissions for this contest. Even if you couldn't get exactly what you were going for, having a moonlet cosplaying as sailor moon was certainly unexpected!

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks! Sometimes the accidents are the best works.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

Well, it's certainly unexpected! And that's exactly what I asked for 😜

[–] allo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

idk why it would be a fail. i think it's hysterical. the face, how the astronaught is looking at their reader thing, everything

edit: and look, your mysterious downvoter hasn't woken up for the day yet either

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

Yay!

I treated this a fail because I was going for a giant sailor moon with a astronaut on her. The tiny eyes made me laugh though so here we are.

[–] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago

The first sailor moon I can upvote ⬆️

Off topic,

I now remember about this photographer who has done an "every day astronaut" serie https://www.flickr.com/photos/timdoddphoto/albums/72157644939756063/with/14668530737 yes flickr, do you enjoy feeling 10 years younger ?

I am sometimes worried about my memory who has no problem remembering 10 year old random internet stuff :)

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Oh my god, now I remember Flickr! I've totally forgotten about them for years. I think I had an account there about.. 20 years ago?
Urgh, time just keeps marching on doesn't it?

[–] LazerFX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

That's... Tim Dodd, who is the Everyday Astronaut on YouTube, quite a well respected rocket follower and commentator.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

flickr was a nice place till yahoo bought it and it got sterilized… shittified

[–] cloudless@lemmy.cafe 6 points 5 months ago

Prompt: The Scream by Edvard Munch, but with an astronaut in a Mars landscape. painting. (Ideogram).

[–] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Need to choose one, so here is it

A cute gay lemming, wears a space suit, on the dancefloor in a night club, neon colour, pride flag on the suit generated with SDVN7-NijiStyleXL

Full workflow

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

This was my favorite submission of the contest, good job! I love it, so cute, so colorful, so surprising to see an animal as an astronaut at a dance party in space!

[–] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So, I started by trying 2-3 models and went for SDVN7-NijiStyle XL giving a cute lemming astronaut

Great, but that the cute guy missed the unexpected aspect, also I wanted to get some fun neon colour

so I went for the night club and added neon colour, got this one which was kinda neat

But the neon colour made me think about the rainbow flag colour, so I tried to get a pride flag on the image, put the US in negative prompt, and generated a lot of cool images.

Here is one with a flying flag

Here the whole suit is rainbow coloured, but the ears seems to pass through the helmet

That one is pretty neat, has all the needed colour but no clear flag

So at a point I had to choose one.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

I think I did you a disservice with my theme description, I think all of your pictures would qualify as unexpected! I was a bit vague because I didn't wanna dampen creativity, but I fully considered "astronauts that aren't human" to be unexpected to a (hopefully) human audience.

In either case, I love it!

[–] Itrytoblenderrender@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Blind date gone wrong.

Made with Comfyui. The workflow is embedded in this picture

Moonolith

Prompt: a photorealistic picture of an astronaut walking on the surface of the moon, seen from behind. you can see his steps in the moon dust. there's also a small crater. the astronaut encounters a huge black monolith similar to the iconic opening scene of the movie "2001 Odyssey in space". In the sky above there's a nebula and the sun. The image is somewhat grainy like a photograph.

The submissions are in and the results have been tabulated.
Everyone did an amazing job, but there can only be ~~one~~ two winners!

Congratulations to @thelsim@sh.itjust.works and @M0oP0o@mander.xyz who tied for first place!
Since thelsim got to choose the theme fairly recently, I'll make an executive decision and grant next week's theme to M0oP0o! Good luck, I hope you can choose better than I did 😜

The podium finishers are:
1st @thelsim@sh.itjust.works: 4
1st @M0oP0o@mander.xyz: 4
3rd @cloudless@lemmy.cafe: 2
3rd @Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works: 2
3rd @Itrytoblenderrender@lemmy.world: 2
3rd @allo@sh.itjust.works: 2

That’s fine. I’d most likely would have done the same. @M0oP0o@mander.xyz, enjoy hosting the next challenge. I’ll happily participate again :)

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

We should probably make a rule about who gets to choose the next week's theme, if there is a tie for first or the winner already got to pick recently 🤔

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or, lets collaborate for the next one. I mean lets be fair there is a good chance mine will involve Sailor Moon anyway.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

That’s ok, you’ve earned your spot in the limelight :)
I’ll get my chance again in the future, so don’t worry about me.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

I’d leave it up to the host to come up with a creative solution.
It’s all in good fun, I doubt anyone would feel offended if they lost in a tie.
