Menoga The Orc

Updated the reference sheet a little. Now it should say she is a barbarian and she is a female orc.

@Wistful_Apothic Morning, hope you feel better soon! Have a good day though.

Good morning everyone. Feeling a little under the weather today so will be slow with interactions. Going to focus energy on my workload but will be around. Cheering you on for the best and productive day possible!

@PsychroVT Is that mortarion? But seriously cool bro.

Here is mine.

@Swifvente You are right. Too cool to disappear into the void!

Reposting this just incase the algorithm decided to hide this. This is too cool to let disapear! #AIArt #aiイラスト

@EvaGlitchAI I look like a deathknight! Pretty cool to be honest.

Prompt of the Day: DARK FANTASY ⚔️🌕💜💚 Today’s Prompt of the Day turns your character into a grimdark fantasy warrior locked in a cinematic standoff with a monster under the moonlight. For best results, use a clear single character reference or full reference sheet as @Image1. Drop your reference as @Image1 and let the dark fantasy transformation begin 🔥 .......................................................................................... @Image1 = main character reference First, deeply analyze @Image1: note exact facial structure, eye shape/size/position/color, nose, mouth, jawline, unique expression style, hair color, hairstyle silhouette, body type, proportions, gender presentation, overall vibe, energy, color palette, and personality aesthetic. Then, internally brainstorm a wide range of possible dark fantasy archetypes, armor styles, and weapons from medieval / high fantasy dark fantasy lore: Archetypes such as dark knight, sorcerer, barbarian warrior, fallen paladin, shadow assassin, necromancer, battle-mage, ranger, etc. Iconic high fantasy / medieval armor styles (ornate plate, blackened steel, leather and chain, rune-etched armor, spiked gothic plate, etc.) Signature fantasy weapons (greatsword, battle axe, arcane staff, curved blade, war hammer, longbow, etc.) Choose the combination that feels like the strongest natural match in vibe, energy, role archetype, aesthetic, and visual feel — but deliberately pick the more interesting, surprising, obscure, or atmospheric armor/weapon pairings when the fit is still believable. Prioritize freshness and variety over repetition. ARCHETYPE LOCK: Choose only one archetype from the available list provided above. Do not invent, rename, merge, or substitute any new archetype outside that list. Once the archetype is chosen, construct the armor, outfit structure, accessories, and weapon so they clearly and visibly reflect that specific archetype. The chosen archetype must visibly determine the final design. The armor, clothing structure, accessories, and weapon should all read clearly as belonging to that archetype, rather than a generic fantasy outfit. Use the clothing colors from @Image1 as the base palette, but adapt them appropriately to suit the chosen dark fantasy archetype and environment. Generate @Image1 as a cosplay-style transformation inspired by the chosen dark fantasy archetype, armor style, and weapon. This must feel like @Image1 is dressed as a grimdark fantasy warrior, NOT literally becoming any specific named character. FACE LOCK (non-negotiable): The face in the final image MUST be 100% identical to @Image1’s reference face. Exact same facial bone structure, eye shape, eye size, eye position, nose, mouth, jawline, expression nuances, and all unique identifying features. Do NOT replace, genericize, beautify, or drift the face toward any fantasy character’s face in any way. Render @Image1’s exact face in full promotional key-art style while keeping it immediately and unmistakably recognizable as the original reference. This is cosplay, NOT a face-swap or transformation. HAIR GUIDANCE: Keep @Image1’s original hair color by default. Keep the overall hair silhouette and identity clearly recognizable as @Image1. You may lightly adapt the hairstyle to echo the chosen dark fantasy archetype only if it still reads 100% as @Image1’s hair. Adapt the full outfit, armor, weapons, accessories, pose, and scene to match the chosen dark fantasy archetype, armor style, and weapon, while the person inside the cosplay remains clearly @Image1. POSE & SIGNATURE MOMENT: Show @Image1 in a tense, dramatic standoff — poised and ready to face down a menacing creature, monster, or humanoid enemy that belongs in a dark fantasy world. The cosplayer is fully dressed in the complete high fantasy armor set and actively holding/wielding the signature weapon in a powerful ready stance (not mid-swing or attacking yet). The moment is full of anticipation and brooding intensity. ART STYLE (STRICTLY STYLIZED — NO REALISM): Heavily base the entire illustration on the illustrated art style and rendering quality of the reference @Image1, then elevate it to a rich dark fantasy aesthetic. Fully stylized illustrated dark fantasy / anime key-art style Rich color palette of deep shadows, muted moonlight tones, glowing accents, and atmospheric haze Highly cinematic composition with dramatic low or dynamic camera angles, strong depth of field, beautiful bokeh, volumetric moonlight god rays cutting through mist, reflections on wet armor and weapon blades, rim lighting, atmospheric particles, and rich environmental lighting that enhances the grimdark mood Strictly non-photorealistic, high-detail illustrated style with clean lines or painterly rendering, rich textures, and cinematic depth Never render realistic skin textures, lifelike photography, glossy real-person lighting, or any photorealistic details POSE & SCENE: Female-presenting character → powerful, slightly sexy but tasteful, tense ready stance Male-presenting character → stoic, epic, strong cinematic presence in the brooding standoff Place @Image1 in a rich, cinematic dark fantasy nighttime setting — wet cobblestone streets or ancient ruins glistening under a bright full moon, heavy mist and fog, brooding atmosphere, reflections on puddles and polished armor, dramatic moonlight god rays, with the enemy creature or monster visible in the background facing them. Use dynamic camera angles, strong depth of field with razor-sharp focus on the cosplayer and weapon, wet surface reflections, volumetric lighting, and atmospheric effects for a breathtaking, high-impact key visual. Final requirements: @Image1 must remain instantly recognizable at a glance Preserve original identity, face, and hair color/silhouette faithfully Result must feel polished, atmospheric, high-quality cinematic dark fantasy illustration Accurate dark fantasy armor, archetype details, and weapon + tense “about to face down an enemy” moment + matching broody atmosphere The final image must contain absolutely no text, titles, banners, lettering, or writing of any kind Avoid at all costs: Photorealism, semi-realism, lifelike skin, realistic lighting, glossy real-person rendering Any drift toward photographic or live-action style Weak stylization or low-detail rendering Any video game references or named characters .......................................................................................... #SCU #Skybros #POTD #promptoftheday #AI #AiArt #Art #AnimeArt #DarkFantasy #FantasyWarrior #Grimdark #CosplayTransformation #CharacterDesign #DigitalArt #AnimeStyle #CommunityPrompt

@ReavingMango @GamingSyndicat5 @MysticalYazzy @happyharbl @kitsuragi_k @Pupperfishpat Just woke up and soon going to work, but this is great! I love this! Very nice. Love that im included in a bunch of cool peoples group!

*SUMMONED* Feat- @GamingSyndicat5 @MysticalYazzy @Azorele07 @happyharbl @kitsuragi_k @Pupperfishpat

@DavidEricD56006 Im always amazed at how much AI changes and so quickly too. Its unbelieveable. I love AI so much. Its been nice talking, but I gotta head to bed. Live in a different timezone.

@Azorele07 Bit of "before and after" from a year ago to today. I could get even more out of today's if I did some inpainting for details or upscaled further.

Veelia's people live on the same islands as the orcs. The orcs are the strongest on the island nation, and even have a shaky agreement with the various other creatures and races living there. But the orcs need raiding and pillaging, and sometimes there are losses to the folk of the cat race. They do manage to maintain big cities like this, and are thriving, dispite being raided constantly. hardy people.

Time for me to go to bed. Easy peasy since im so exhousted. Ill be back tomorrow. Gotta think about what do to next. I do take idea suggestions, if you want to chip in. I might also get inspired by others creations. Goodnight and goodnight for now. And thank you all.

@DavidEricD56006 I think ill dabble with stable diffusion once I get a better pc, im currently saving money for one. Just slow progress. But yeah, sounds better then most other AI you can use.

@Azorele07 It definitely has different challenges, but it's fun. Video generation takes some power, but image isn't too bad, especially if you have an Nvidia GPU since it's geared toward that architecture. 4GB VRAM min, but faster and able to run bigger models without OOM error.

I would love to learn stable diffusion, but my computer is old now, still okay-ish, but not good enough for that. I do understand though. I have a highly imaginative brain (if that is a word) and I am really good at seeing the scene in my minds eye. I think its just learning and growing. If you go back to the beginning of my postings, you will see I started out crappy, but in the two months ive been on X I personally think ive grown a lot!

@Azorele07 Oh, I meant more the creative talent to design a world like that - filled with so much different lore and stories to explore. I'm definitely learning a lot with AI too - only recently dabbling with LLM generation, but been working with Stable Diffusion locally for about a year.

@DavidEricD56006 I think with the power of AI, it will make it more easy to get images like this, you just have to have the vision and the passion to generate the right picture that can tell the story you want them to understand. It took me a bit to get the pictures just right.

@Azorele07 I've played in a lot of different roleplaying games with friends over the years. The best were always where the game master had a lush world for the characters to explore. It's a talent I wish I had more of :)

@IronTiger44 Thank you! Elthyria is easily the most beautiful of the girls. And she also sings in a beautiful way!

@Azorele07 Beautiful!

Elthyria doing what she does best, bringing merriment and life to the world, singing her heart out. I wonder who will hear her singing.

@goos_robert I feel like I want to buy these oranges. They look good.

🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊

@DavidEricD56006 Thanks! Its something I wanted to do for a while. Make people kind of understand the world they live in.

@Azorele07 Cool world building

The lands down in the caves and caverns is not for all. But it can be really beautiful. Its not always so bright and colourful, but there are plenty of oasis in the dark, like this city. Being a dark elf is harsh, and brutal. There is a lot of rules and customs to follow, or you might be the next target for sport. It makes you wonder what this kind of place would do to a woman.

It looks really peaceful in the elven homelands. But it isnt always so. The dark brethen that live underground carries animosity, and there are plenty of races that want to use the elves for their own wishes, slaves, experiments and many other things. Elven blood is inherently magical after all. But when you get to live the life, it is breathtaking.

@MollyMooArt I tried to do my best to make it feel authentic. So im glad you liked it!

@Azorele07 Love the atmosphere of this one Menoga, got a very legit feel about it too 🙂

Anna and her family are a mystery. Apparently there are a lot of them, and they all look kinda the same. And another strange thing.. The shops they own, all have the same name. Is this a franchise or something?

I was thinking about what to do tonight, what to publish. So I thought.. Well we are exploring what Menoga and the girls are up to in their down time. And I teased about where they came from. But why not just show it? First up, the orcish home islands. A lot of the islands are rugged and steppe/savannah, but there are deep jungles too, where veelia's people live, and many other races cling to life. The orcs raid and pillage, so its a harsh life filled with conflict. Can you understand now, why Menoga left?

@MollyMooArt It would! And I hope you figure it out! I would love to do it myself, tried a bit in the past. But It was a struggle trying to do with grok. Maybe some other AI could do it, or help.

@Azorele07 Thank you so much Menoga! ☺️ If I can find a way to do it consistently with worthwhile results I’ll shout you how I do it, a Menoga comic would be so cool ☺️

Would you read this if it was real? 🤭 I’m actually thinking of making some, I don’t really read comics so who knows how they’d turn out 😆
