This one I stitched this for another friend who used to play the elf in Gauntlet. I'm not happy with how the face turned out, but then again the features are simply too fine. I think if I rework the eyes for the next version, the whole face might look better.
Dusting off my AI rig, Z-Image is surprisingly good and fast, and even has good text adherence in addition to very good prompt adherence.
The prompt:
Square glamour shot of a band named Dämonenkirmes. They are four people wearing black leather and arm tattoos standing in front of a gothic fairground. The lead singer is female, has short hair and wears a white gown. Her arms are crossed.
Left of the singer stands another woman with brown hair and a knuckleduster on the right hand and in the left hand she holds a beer can. She wears a jeans vest with a My Little Pony patch.
The left man wears jeans and has is bald with a tattoo on his head. The right man has a beard and long blonde hair. He wears eyeliner and a kilt.
There is a black ferris wheel in the background with pale lights. The fairground stands have skulls on them. The word "Dämonenkirmes" is on an off-white banner in Fraktur font with lightbulbs behind the band above their heads.
At the left and right border of the image, the upper half of audio speakers are visible with the letters DK on them.
The result:
The AI now watches Youtube videos and gives you a summarized text with relevant images. Just to counteract the AI that takes a text and generates a video from it:

I stitched this for a friend who used to play the wizard in Gauntlet.
I'm happy how the wizard turned out, with the black t-shirt also contributing shadows to the hands:
Also, the logo and the gradient worked well, Inkscape has some convenient features here:
I'm not so happy with the distance I put between logo and wizard, but it's not too bad either.
RSS.Style: Better UX for your RSS and Atom feeds!
In true old-skool fashion, even my RSS feeds are now also viewable in the browser, thanks to the XSLT stylesheets from rss.style. They rewrite the XML into something a browser can render. Obviously using a proper RSS reader, like Thunderbird is better, but hey!
