      Sorry if I dropped the ball. Maybe another thing to add to the posts would be to say who does what and when? I wasn’t too sure so just winged it :)

      I wasn’t sure if I was the judge, or if I was supposed to notify the winner, etc.

        The previous winner thinks up the new challenge and is responsible for scoring and picking a winner at the end. Giving everyone a proper score, and maybe a kind word about their submission, is a nice way to show appreciation for their participation. It also signals the end of the challenge. The highest score wins and gets to host the next challenge.

        I guess I could’ve been more clear about the rules. Most winners are old hands at this, so I kind of assumed you knew what to do :)

    Dwarf Tossing:

    Prompt: fantasy movie action shot of a dwarf with a long beard, being thrown through the air with his arms outstretched, a terrified expression is on his face as he screams in terror, a sports field with white lines can be seen below, a giant can be seen on the sports field looking up --ar 3:2 --stylize 175

    Maybe not so extreme for the giant, but pretty extreme for the dwarf :)

    Workflow
    1. Generate image with prompt… eventually… after 20 tries :)
    2. Zoom out to 1.5x times size for wider shot
    3. Use Vary Region (Midjourney’s inpainting) to remove an annoying rope

    Process: https://perchance.org/beautiful-people I copypasted another button and made it ‘action’. Then I came up with some starting action words like ‘exhilarating’ and tried some artist combos from my big artist list. I collected maybe 10 artist combos in to the action button and made action words appear at varying frequencies in prompts. Then I generated some images until getting a black horse looking at racecars and i knew what an epic prompt would be.

    Prompt: (((fantasy racing in the style of speed racer mixed with f-zero x lead by an exotic absolute goddess riding an imposing epic supernaturally black unicorn bareback in a magical supernatural storm))), (((absolutely beautiful))),

    this is in addition to all the action words the action button adds and the artists.

    Then I generated a ton without really getting what I was going for. But I got some decent ones including this pic, which i think cool but could have more apparent race vehicles and the black unicorn pwning them all. Then I upscaled and did a blurglow effect to remove some pixelyness. and thus picture and new ability on my generator.

    digital representation in a solar punk style of a blue android with futuristic longboard-like implements attached to the bottom of their legs coasting along the ruins of a fallen civilization as they weave through the overgrowth in a fascinating spectacle of extreme sportsmanship, zoomed out to show a freestyle trick competition amongst many similar competitors

    Not all the elements are there, especially from my addition at the end, but I’m pretty happy with this result
