i like the densness of the city, but couldn't get that denseness with a character i loved. Gave up after too many credits spent.

this is gpt low. I did all 5 of my standard use models. Flux Pro 1.1 / Gpt 1.5 low / Grok / Seadream 4.5 / Midjourney

thanks! GPT (low) did a great job on the city.

Awesome! Just FYI -- the Steampunk City QT was From @chris70 https://budgetpixel.com/p/22482 . However, if you wanted, you can add this to my -punk challenge blog under Thursday: steampunk. My challenge blogs tend to remain on trending for a few weeks after they're done so people keep visiting. I put the challenge entries in the blog post body under the day so that hopefully people will visit them as well or see them in the comments. Most of my challenge blogs get more than 1,000 views. I don't know if it increases people's creations visibility but I hope it does. https://budgetpixel.com/blog/punk-daily-challenge-april-9-15-2026

Awww still looks awesome what models have you tried with the prompt? You might want to try Gpt or ask 2CaylaCatz for some guidance she is realy good

its a QT. QT comes from "Quote Tweet" and old twitter custom of riffing off of someones challenge (QT). In this case @CaylaCatz did a QT for Steampunk City.

if you do one, reference their post, and get the notification list from @EternaSky s blog post or @dirty_biker 's home page.

Fantastic! I didn't think a cybe- steam- punk image would be so great with an impressionistic style - but it is!
