Some ideas for a reality glitch, but it wasn't prompting out the way I wanted it to. People going about their daily lives, but they are not 3-dimensional beings, but 2-dimensional, they lack physical depth. They are completely flat when viewed from certain angles. Going to keep trying but I've got other ideas on how to achieve this.

About this image

This whimsical surreal digital illustration depicts a warm, weathered vintage neighborhood cafe populated entirely by minimalist folded paper origami figures. Soft golden pendant lighting illuminates scuffed, coffee-stained wooden tables holding steaming cups of dark roast coffee, while origami patrons sip drinks, read books, and gather throughout the space. The dreamlike, cozy scene blends tactile paper craft textures with the inviting, nostalgic atmosphere of a classic European bistro.

This warm stylized illustration depicts a busy cozy neighborhood coffee shop, featuring exposed red brick walls, wooden furniture, and commercial espresso equipment lined up behind a rustic wood service counter. Rendered in a unique paper cutout art style, the scene shows patrons ordering, chatting over takeaway coffee cups, and seated at small tables, while friendly baristas assist customers in soft natural sunlight streaming through the front window. The warm earth tone palette and relaxed welcoming mood highlights casual community gathering, local small business culture, and everyday casual coffee shop social interaction.

Yes, as long as you don't tag more than once or twice a day, people usually don't mind. I'll start adding you to our list, and I'll check your own blogs out later. (All of our Family and Teen+ blogs have hit their 500-clap thresholds, it's the Mature ones that struggle because 90% of BP can't see them.)

Thanks! Panos suggested I start tagging people for posts/blogs, if you want you can tag me for your blogs and help you out :)

Thanks! I was thinking of that too, would probably work on a prompt better than what I was doing

WOW fantastic work the second one maybe a mixture of photorealistic & Paper cut out cartoon people?

Thanks for the like, it was the last I needed for the daily milestone thing!

TGricky prompt, that one. Not that the images here are not interesting, though.
@breljoset · Jun 29, 2026
Not yet, I may try that out though, thanks for the idea
@faerierealm · Jun 28, 2026
Well, that's something you don't see every day!
@faerierealm · Jun 28, 2026
Glad you made it!

Have you tried image to image taking those 2 images and using or tweaking the prompt?
