Lately, I like doing mashups of a bunch of instagram ai art challenges. This time I centered them around a goth lass as I wanted to join @Sealine new theme : Gothic Beauty. 1. Muse 1.0 2. GPT 2.5 Sunburst 3. GPT 2.5 Flare 4. Seedream 5 Lite 5. Imagineart 1.5 6. Qwen 3.0 Can you find all the elements? The hat was my favorite part. 9/13/26 IG AI Art Challenges: you can find the challenge by searching for the hashtag in IG . It will result in images by other participants. Most people don't combine challenges. #MessySeptember26 : secret of windmill hill #AISeptArt2026 : long pointed nails #15WithYippeeSep26 : hat #SepJedAi26 (3part theme: character, item, color): dreamweaver, dreamcatcher, lavender color #witchtember26 : golden sigil #SEPtrash26 Dark Academia: secret society #CydsCabinetChallenge Cabinet of Curiosities: giant's tooth #conceptember2026 : ancient Egypt x scifi #Sept26Challenge Pop Art Horror: Style of Norman Rockwell • The Thing at the County Fair In playing with the themes, some I put together in sentences and some I dropped as a word or phrase. It makes for very eclectic scenes and some models will drop part of the prompt while others will fit everything in. The style part of the prompt as an experiment I did: "style is ancient egypt x scifi x norman rockwell mashup" note: most models added the style as elements and did not do them together as a mashup style. So this 1st test=fail.
