Back in 1970s - (@suga2309,@panos,@jmn )

Prompt

An old photograph from the 1970s shows an Assassin (use character from the reference image 2), soldier (use character from the reference image 3) and Glint (use character from the reference image 1) posing casually and slightly stiffly in front of a parked muscle car. Shot with an old film camera, it has a grainy texture, faded and patinated colors, slight water damage, scratches, and a soft blur. It possesses a nostalgic, analog aesthetic and genuine imperfections.

About this image

This gritty post-apocalyptic fantasy artwork depicts a trio of wasteland heroes—including a radiation-marked soldier, two masked armored vigilantes, and a small perched owl—gathered around a weathered vintage muscle car in a derelict abandoned city. The ruined urban backdrop features a decaying Ferris wheel and crumbling clock tower, rendered in muted earthy grays, browns, and dark greens that amplify the bleak, tense dystopian mood of the piece. The aged, cracked vintage photo texture adds a nostalgic found-footage feel, blending military survival themes with dark fantasy aesthetics that resonate with dystopian media and wasteland art fans.

@suga2309 @jmn Strictly speaking, before 1986 and the Chernobyl Disaster THERE WAS NO Exclusion Zone. BUT, as suge2309 said, this is the freaking MULTIVERSE! We can dream infinite scenarios! Only our imagination limits us - and to hell with strict plausubility. As for a three-man expedition, jmn - ......

Whoa, WHAT!? This SUCKS! Everyone knows that your series runs on gpt2! That's my favourite model to use too! I just finished a blog that I haven't posted yet that was made with gpt2...🤬😭

Nooooo....! It's not the end, my dear friend ! The images that I use in my blogs are not generated in BP. I use ChatGpt like a friend like I've explained it to you 2 months before. Daily 4 or 5 images free for all users. I then uploa the images in BP blog.😉✨It's the beginning of a new era !

I saw this prompt somewhere last week and created a sample with 3 women but did not post it. After completing the blog, this concept (we three in 1970s photo) came to my mind. I'm not sure when will the next story begin. Thank you so much, my dear friend !😇🙏💖☕🌹🌷🌺🌼🌻

@panos can correct me if I am wrong, it is set in 2006, but "Stalkers have no choice but to rely on Cold War-era stockpiles left behind by the military, scientists, and local citizens since the 1970s and 1980s."

No, my friend, if I do make images elsewhere, I certainly won't post them here. In fact I don't think i'll post them at all.
