THE MONSTER FAMILY - NIGHTCAFE CREATIONS

[thermoplastic]

I had used this quote before and thought it was something to think about again:

“One of the schools of Tlön goes so far as to negate time; it reasons that the present is indefinite, that the future has no reality other than as a present hope, that the past has no reality other than as a present memory. Another school declares that all time has already transpired and that our life is only the crepuscular and no doubt falsified an mutilated memory or reflection of an irrecoverable process. Another, that the history of the universe — and in it our lives and the most tenuous detail of our lives — is the scripture produced by a subordinate god in order to communicate with a demon. Another, that the universe is comparable to those cryptographs in which not all the symbols are valid and that only what happens every three hundred nights is true. Another, that while we sleep here, we are awake elsewhere and that in this way every man is two men.”
Jorge Luis BorgesWhat does it have to to with monsters? Not much, but I am aiming at alternate realities here, and AI is quite good at coming up with surprising results. Below this title image, I give you the basic prompt I used, plus the description I attached to most of that series.One more time, trying this prompt with some adaptions. I am shooting for a wide-screen family picture of the ultimate monster family. I am going for different modes, and also duplicating or evolving select results.PROMPT:
"( Crepuscular Old Man Monster Family 1.5) in (post apocalyptic wonderland 1.2) in heaven everything is fine by lady in the radiator and brothers quay, stop motion cinema photograph by H.R. Giger, by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Hieronymus Bosch, Art Nouveau, intricately detailed, hyperrealism, fantasy, digital art, Bogomils Universe; (Cryptid Taxidermy 1.1)"
Negative prompt:
"ugly, tiling, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn feet, poorly drawn face, out of frame, extra limbs, disfigured, deformed, body out of frame, blurry, bad anatomy, blurred, watermark, grainy, signature, cut off, draft"

^{Some models, like most SDXL models, now support a new prompt weight syntax that allows you to give more (or less) emphasis to individual words or phrases. How this is formulated you see in the above prompt.}
This out of the way, lets check the rest from this series.

^{While the bot didn't catch this one, I marked it myself NSFW, so sensitive souls would not be upset by exposed breasts. I didn't ask for it in my prompt, but the model did it. The next one I 're-cooked' with more noise weight of 45%, that took care of the problem, while still similar. I do like the one with tits better, sort of a pleasant focus, I think.}

Dies erinnert mich doch sehr stark an die Chronologie einer Kabinettssitzung, wobei es nebensächlich erscheint, ob in A, D oder der EU abgehalten, die Akteure sekündlich ihr "wahres" Gesicht verändern können.
Die Reaktionen der Betroffenen des Horrorszenarios, also die Steuerzahler und alle anderen wehrlos Ausgelieferten, fällt entsprechend aus. Da gestalten sich die aus der Fassung geratenen Haare noch als das Harmlose.
Der Weg wird und bleibt ein steiniger sein.
