I was getting frustrated because the strange text formatting and paragraph issues weren’t getting resolved, and even after contacting support, there was no solution.
But then, out of the blue, ChatGPT drew a picture for me and it made me feel a bit better.
It was not easy, but with the help of consistent training in the chat, I managed to achieve a rather interesting style. The main problem was to remove Dalle’s overly “vector” illustrative dry style
“Widescreen. A courtroom, in an Orwellian dystopia, in which the judge, lawyers, jury, and spectators are all insects with humanoid faces. Done in dark tones, in a style akin to a Rembrandt painting.”
Here’s the result.
Note that the inhabitants seem more birdlike than insectoid.
Any insight into that sort of a switch ? Ways to avoid it ??
Widescreen image. Envision a courtroom in an Orwellian dystopia, where every character – the judge, lawyers, jury, and spectators – is a distinct type of insect with subtle humanoid features. The insects should be easily recognizable (like ants, bees, beetles, and dragonflies), each adorned with elements indicative of their courtroom role. Their faces should have minimal human traits, just enough to convey expressions fitting the courtroom atmosphere. The setting is dark and oppressive, reminiscent of a Rembrandt painting, with deep shadows and a somber color palette. The focus is on capturing the eerie, surreal quality of this insect-dominated judiciary.
Half a century ago, I was an art studio major in college. All sorts of very realistic, yet fantastic, images.
Then, in the 80s and 90s, spent some time at Microsoft, writing OS/2 and Win32 progging docs, since I speak both English and nerdese.
These magical tools combine those 2 strands of my mind so nicely.
Amusing note: in that 50 years back time, a wonderful art prof. pulled me aside one day, to warn me that having both the right and left brain creative impulses could threaten one’s sanity. I responded that I saw no major clash; in both realms, one made things, albeit with diff. tools.
Widescreen image. A closeup of a computer motherboard, seen at a dramatic angle. 19th century carriages and foot traffic traverse the motherboard as if it were a city. The mood is nostalgic. The colors are subtle. The lighting resembles the golden hour on a September day."
