Cloud Giants: Party at Ystrid's. [#62 out of 68, yikes😅]

Entry in the On the Cloud challenge.

About this image

A mythological feast unfolds on a sunlit cloud balcony where ancient gods mingle in regal robes amid floating islands and lush arches. The fantasy artwork glows with warm golds and purples, depicting ornate architecture, shimmering rituals, and ethereal bubbles, creating a divine, epic mood reminiscent of Olympus.

Indeed, but like I appreciate on GPT (1&2) that it does not need so detailed prompt and enhanced it itself and only write all my prompts manual and don't enhance them with generated prompt, I usually don't ask explicitely about the style ... except now for GPT 2, that I always add the "no grain, no dust, ... not gritty" at the end 😅

You dont need to explicitly tell it not to do. It depends on what method and style being asked for it to produce in. When it is in doubt. It does this wavy blob thing

Beautiful work, surprising result and not in the good kind of surprise way. Yes, definitely keep me on this list!

Wait till u see my later “realism” series for GPT. I managed to pull off a certain look consistently now.

I suppose I should confirm, over 18 🤣 I was just about 30 and not baby-faced when stopped and asked for ID when out in Denver when visiting the US years ago - as if I would go out at night as an international visitor with my passport. We found another bar with a more sensible person on the door. I shall add you, and of course opting out always an option.

It still got very nice 👏👏👏 ... I have combined my prompts with the one from Dirty Bikers blog about GPT 2 and now I add to every GPT 2 picture I make at the end this: Style: smooth gradients, no grain, no dust, no floating particles unless intentional, no gritty textures, smooth but highly detailed textures, smooth but detailed environment
@TheBard · May 23, 2026
Very nice picture 👍 ... just GPT 2 added to much noise in the texture of the giants, like it does when not prompted explicitely to not do it 😅 (and also some times doing it, even when told not to do so)

Like the composition and colour palette. Quite happy for you to tag me. I have a small tag group for Adult imagery and writing, quite adult, and happy to add you on that if it appeals to you.
@JMN · May 23, 2026
Thanks. Yes, very true; I did indeed try to cap the detail level so it didn't over produce. Alas, my dear Bard, it was not the case this time around 😋
