My eye sight is getting worse everyday people.

This is mostly a light hearted post to give the community something low stakes to discuss and decide on.

Maybe there won’t be any interest, or maybe we have a lot of ideas for icons and even banners?

    I had the idea of a seal, like the instance icon, in an ancient greek style, like on pottery, but I couldn’t find any public domain or similar images we could use for free and I’m not an artist myself

      I tried for a little while to get midjourney to draw this, but the harder I tried the funnier it got.

      Now I’m just sitting here laughing at seal pottery when I should be walking my dog.

      Safe to say midjourney does not understand the assignment.

          yes pretty close, here are some of the prompts I tried :

          • a brightly-lit red figure hydria. It’s painted with an image of the satisfied seal meme.

          • a brightly-lit ancient greek amphora. It depicts the satisfied seal meme

          • the satisfied seal meme painted on the side of a brightly lit red figure hydria.

          If you have any ideas feel free to post up 2 or 3 prompts and I will try them (for as long as my credits allow)

            How about we get rid of the pottery try to keep it simple

            • A tondo in the Athenian red-figure style depicting a seal
            • A tondo in the Athenian red-figure style depicting the satisfied seal meme
            • An Athenian red-figure depiction of a seal
            • An Athenian red-figure depiction of the satisfied seal meme

            If it comes back with like governmental or organizational type seals, then maybe we switch “seal” to “pinniped”. Or “Mediterranean monk seal”, which is apparently (one of?) the type(s) of seal around Greece.

            Or that doesn’t work, I don’t know. I’m not versed in AI image creation so I don’t know what limits you have or what works and doesn’t work.

              I seem to have run out of fast generations because my requests are being throttled, but here are a few I got

                It’s really unfortunate that this one is so doglike

                spoiler

                This one is the best of the rest imo

                spoiler

                I also like this one, personally, but it’s not good for the community

                spoiler

                What are your thoughts?

                  I am too partial to the goofy ones tbh. I think you’re right about the ‘best of the rest’ option, shame the tail part of the seal is kinda wonky
