For the Dreamy Lady Portrait challenge I first tried a few different subject ideas. Settled on 4 for further evolution. For me key in this theme was adreamy vibe/look.

I liked upper right a lot. But I don't consider a moonlit portrait to be dreamy. But I can be a bit weird and off-beat in my intrereptation of theme. I though bottom right was interesting and way more dreamy

panos

Well, my preference was noy as to "dreamy" I just liked that one more, generally. You are right, bottom right IS the more dreamy of them. (and it's damn GOOD, as well!)

They all look dreamy but it's cool to see how dreamy can be interpreted in different art styles/mediums

DavidP

And the prompts were all quite different. Same basic idea but varied the subject and style

panos

a great gallery. I admit to prefering upper right more than the others.

Very cool! I like seeing the different art styles
