This week’s prompt challenge was inspired by the work of Thomas Dambo and his magical giant forest troll sculptures. The person who chose this week’s topic said that one of his sculptures had been vandalized and destroyed by fire in East Texas. Of course, we recently lost our own troll here in Austin. I had no idea this was happening in multiple places. So sad that people want to destroy something that only brings joy. So, in honor of these art installations, our AI art was to be forest troll inspired.

Here are the technical aspects of this submission: Gencraft – Model: 40% Brahma – Pulp Friction; 16% Colourful Anime 2; Style: Realistic

And this is the prompt that resulted in the image I liked: Giant plump 18-ft-tall wooden forest troll gentle giant made of twigs, branches, bark, wood, and scrap items smiling, with hollow dark holes for eyes and sitting cross legged in a clearing with trees as a canopy. Realilstic children and realistic forest creatures leave bright colored little offerings of flowers, pebbles, berries, and twig all around him to show their friendship. The scene is peaceful, poignant, friendly, and happy.

Here is what I wrote about mine when I submitted it: We were very saddened to lose our Pease Park troll named Malin recently. Why do people have to be so evil? He was 18 feet tall and a gentle giant.

And here are some honorable mentions that did not get submitted, but turned out good:

Another challenge I am participating in with the community of AI art enthusiasts I joined is a weekly prompt challenge. The resulting art is of course the final goal of the prompt written, but the sharing of the prompt, what tools were used, and what platform the art was made on are also part of the submission. Some AI artists are very close fisted about their prompts because they do not want to share their intellectual property with anyone. This challenge, by nature is inviting others to share in that creative element of trying new prompts and learning from how other artists manage to get their results from AI.

This week’s challenge asked the question, “What does a witch do when she can’t sleep?” I wanted to show a regular person tinkering with a soft, peaceful glow about her. I didn’t want her to be green or ugly or any of the stereotypical things like wearing a witch’s hat or riding a broom. She is just making tinctures and soothing her nervous system with quiet meditation.

Here are the technical aspects of this submission: Gencraft – Model: 40% Olaf’s-AutumnVeil3.0; Style: Polaroid

And this is the prompt that finally resulted in the image I liked: moonlight on a dark night shines in a window onto a cute quirky young woman with hair in a messy bun and glasses wearing pajamas mixing tinctures into small glass jars in a comfy room filled with crystals and herbs, incense, magical items, orbs, old books, shelves of knick knacks and candles, fairy lights around the ceiling and decorative accents that feel magical and inviting
