Elaborate gothic masquerade ball, central masked noblewoman stands in a candlelit opulent baroque ballroom
This dark fantasy illustration depicts a lavish rococo masquerade set inside a gilded candlelit ballroom, scattered with deep red roses and falling petals. The central masked hostess wears an ornate burgundy and navy period gown with a crescent hair accessory, surrounded by other formally dressed masked guests. The mood is eerily elegant and dramatic, with warm chandelier glow contrasting against dark, atmospheric shadowed corners.

Oh, yes!!! This and the variants were made there! I also made a bunch at Bing yesterday - just the one prompt and it turned out great! I don't think it soes img-to-img, though.

panos

heh! Good company indeed! To tell you the truth, since I submit non'GPT images, I know they will tank, so I am absolutely relaxed 😃 (But, damn, our images are GOOD!)

Well, my friend, we're right there together—I finished 45th. At least we're in good company.😄

I definitely voted for yours! I love the main woman, quite dramatic and head turning style!

Yeah, I still don't get it at all... haha. You're still using Dola, right?

I liked the imagery in this - kind of surreal and dark.
