📜 Leonardo da Vinci's Lost Sketch: The Vitruvian Android 📜 Model: Flux Prompt: A highly detailed, highly intricate schematic of a mechanical, electronic android is inscribed inside a circle and square on yellowed parchment paper. The android's arms are extended straight so that its hands and feet touch the perimeter of the circle. Arcane symbols, Greek letters, and mathematical equations cover the parchment in a delicate cursive reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci. Vibrant digital art. 16K resolution.

Thanks. Who knows all the different reasons people like or just view --- I assume the number next to the eye-like icon is number of views. The engineer/scientist in me wonders if there is a correlation in likes:views? --- And here in BP, I have not looked at the number of likes at all. That is liberating. Also have opted away from the DC so not having to deal with the vagaries of submission scoring. All makes for me being a happier camper.

Love the coluring and background. Cool reimagining of his classic anatomical image

Sounds like a good approach! 👍

Thanks, David! You're the only person other than Cheinia to like this image, so now we're wondering if people just aren't that familiar with da Vinci's famous sketch of the Vitruvian Man??
