@Vox_Oculi It’s a great prompt idea!

@Thinkwert I started this trend hahaha

Prompt: create a chaotic iPhone photo of a Celto-British-Roman family in their living room in 2026, in a reality where the Roman Empire is still in power.

“No, Mr Dog. I expect you to die.”

In British Columbia you can see Another Lake, And Another Lake, and That Other Small Body of Water.

I know people are sceptical about this but it does mean if we ever find Anne Boleyn’s phone we may be able to unlock it

Love this intricate map of the Pequod’s journey in Moby Dick. Artist Everett Henry.

One wonderful thing about the age of Raphael is that they were coming off of a couple hundred years of less naturalistic art and so they just became absolutely obsessed with getting Mary cuddling Jesus right. They became like Cuddle Scientists.

why is the answer 42? because 6*7

@Ki_fun_thoughts Some flexibility in what to include and what not to—and spelling out distinctions in styles/techniques that I wasn’t aware of

@Thinkwert So I understand, what is the advantage of this over having a folder of real examples, and asking an AI to match that style?

Been having fun with this lately: Find illustrations I like, ask ChatGPT to reverse engineer a prompt to emulate the style, create images with that same interesting style in slightly skewed settings

Style prompt: Highly detailed black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration in the style of a vintage 1970s fantasy storybook plate. Dense, hand-drawn linework with fine hatching and crosshatching, combined with bold areas of solid black shadow for dramatic contrast. Organic, gnarled natural forms—twisted tree roots, mushrooms, tangled undergrowth—rendered with intricate texture and flowing line rhythm. Characters are slightly exaggerated and stylized (storybook proportions), with expressive faces and dynamic poses. Composition feels like a framed illustration plate: carefully balanced, with foreground detail spilling into midground and background layers. Lighting is high-contrast and theatrical, using deep blacks to carve out forms rather than relying on shading gradients. Negative space is used strategically to highlight figures and guide the eye. Mood blends whimsical fairy-tale charm with subtle menace—enchanted forest atmosphere, hidden creatures, and a sense of lurking danger. Influences: Frank Frazetta pen-and-ink work, classic European fairy-tale illustration, woodcut/etching hybrid, Arthur Rackham-like linework but heavier and more graphic. No color—pure black ink on aged cream paper texture, print grain visible.

“There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody’s expense but his own.” -Melville

A single tear rolled down the gate agent’s cheek as the last plane’s silhouette disappeared over the horizon and the extraordinary but somewhat gauche airline closed for good. She patted her weave, hit the vape, and began the long walk back to the Sentra.

I always preferred the English spelling of "diarrhea" which is "diarrhoea" because it really looks like you've lost control of your vowels.

I want to design a new logo for my software company (Northwoods Software) but it needs to have some of this energy. Somehow. Also remain professional.

Prompt style: Vintage 1900s American editorial illustration, hand-inked linework with watercolor wash, soft pastel color palette, slightly exaggerated caricature proportions, clean but expressive pen outlines, textured paper background, muted tones with selective saturation, romanticized realism, turn-of-the-century propaganda/poster style, gentle cross-hatching and stippling, airy composition with lots of negative space”

@OGCrimsonJester @Thinkwert No. I dont know the name of it, but id call that pre-industrial america style of art.

I’m working on something
