        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 :)
