I saw your combination and loved it! I think I commented on it. And you're right, I was looking for that with burgundy. I remember someone else had also tried it with red, and I mentioned that it was part of my idea, but then I thought burgundy might work better with the "danger" look I was going for. Thanks for noticing. It's nice when people pick up on what you're aiming for. And thanks for saying so.

Hey Charly, it appears you are adept in the Mashup field!!! @CaylaCatz , look at this! After -punk variations, Charlypalermo has started the deco-variation game!! He's great at it, too!

If there was one befoe @NielsCarlsen's then I missed it as that is the originator post that I linked back to in my QT.

Thank you. That's very kind of you to say. I love trying out new ideas -- one of the benefits of AI is what pops in your head, you can shoot out to see if it looks cool or not -- and sharing them. If you want a grittier film noir, try "film-noir dieselpunk world". you can swap out something else for world, it just makes a useful background-filling word. Your Art Deco DecoPunk is more of a Silver Hollywood film noir with airships. "film-noir dieselpunk" is more of a Bogart darker, cynical film noir with airships. If you do "film noir dieselpunk", it'll be more b&w with a bit of darker muted color than with the hyphen. The "film-noir dieselpunk world" tends to have more neon lights but it's still dark & cinematic with long shadows. At least that's what happens in Grok. Haven't tested many models with the hyphen/no hyphen.

@charlypalermo Well I did the decopunk, then niel did the art deco teal, black, gold. Then I combined Niels and my decopunk here https://budgetpixel.com/p/20513 . An then now you're doing something different by adding the burgundy and a film noir twist. The burgundy gives it a luxurious vibe (expected-that color, esp in velvet feels rich) but also a darker vibe which I didn't expect so it gives it this vibe of dangerous romance, femme fatale, film noir. That dangerous romance is really what you added to the mix rather than the combo. My combo wasn't dangerous.
CaylaCatz
That's a really fun one! Models vary a lot between each other with that word but tend to be consistent within the specific model. I did a blog post of a basic test with no art style or timeframe on the different models with mythpunk Once you add a timeframe, it changes because mythpunk isn't necessarily tied to an era like steampunk is tied to the Victorian age. But it's one of my favorite -punk words in a prompt because it's more flexible than the others.

This is very cool. I love those flying cars! I want one. Since you said you forgot who started the QTs, I only know who started 2 of the QTs. @NielsCarlsen with the Art Deco Black, Teal, Gold https://budgetpixel.com/p/19463 myself @caylacatz with the Decopunk which also explains what Decopunk is for people who don't know . https://budgetpixel.com/p/19922 I don't know who did Art Deco QT first as I didn't join it. @DavidP might know as he likes that time period .
charlypalermo
Thanks Cayla! I want one of those cars too, haha. Of course, I thought you and @NielsCarlsen had started one, but I didn't have the original posts, thanks for sharing them. And maybe someone can tell us who started it all; it's turned into something really nice.
CaylaCatz
Yeah, sorry, I'm slow to say so. I generally just say "cool" because I feel a picture first. Later my mind catches up and I realize why I thought it was cool. I'm glad I caught the vibe you created
charlypalermo
@CaylaCatz You captured it perfectly. And the important thing is to say it, no matter when, don't apologize. Thanks again, and I love everything you do; you're truly very creative.
