SPACE ODYSSEY

“Could it be that God was an extra-terrestrial? What do we mean when we say that heaven is in the clouds? From Jesus Christ to Elvis Presley, every culture tells us of high-flying bird men who zoom around the world creating magnificent works of art and choosing willing followers to share in the eternal glory from beyond the stars. Can all these related phenomena merely be dismissed as coincidence?”
Erich von Däniken, Chariots of The Gods

SPACE ODYSSEY 21


The single prompt that is part of most of these creations (some adjustments and/or additional prompts are also used):

"Outer Space, Nova fractals, Mandelbrot sets, Julia sets, Lyapunov fractals: Create 3D mandelbulb mandelbrot 8K 3D iridescent liminal Cinema 4D CryEngine deviantart, Duane Hanson , Roberto Bernardi, textrnr AI, Vinicius Costa, Alphonse Mucha, Marc Simonetti, H.R.Giger Alien Space, fantastic colors, rainbow"
....or this one, which is a second prompt with less weight:
"Einstein's secret orchestra by atomic austin osman spare, H.R.Giger, jock sturges, Norman rockwell amanda sage jackson pollock photographic , minimalist, surrealistic, scientific mystery subgenius 16k resolution, 3ds max, vray, unreal"
... however, it the 'Einstein' prompt is set to higher weight than the first, this happens:

EINSTEIN AND SPACE TIME

ignore the extra fingers, lol - negativ prompt did not do it's job on that one
YDvoHOIJisZ1cJUhORZU--1--c5dwt.jpg
SPACED OUT DISCUSSIONS WITH EINSTEIN

The Negative Prompt I used on all of them:
"ugly, tiling, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn feet, poorly drawn face, out of frame, extra limbs, disfigured, deformed, body out of frame, blurry, bad anatomy, blurred, watermark, grainy, signature, cut off, draft"


SPACEWARP

previously created in the 'SPACE' series

The seed image was created 5 years ago with an app called 'Weavesilk' - http://weavesilk.com/ which was then worked over with polar coordinates in Photoshop. Here on Nightcafe cooked in various modes and weight strengths.

The prompts for this were essentially the same or similar to the other Nightcafe 'Space Odyssey' examples, except these were created with a seed image, while most of the others were text only. This was the seed image: Weavesilk creation and Photoshop Polar Coordinates


different seed images were used for these, but essentially the same prompts:

SPACE ODYSSEY SHORT ON YOUTUBE


This should do for today - I hope you found these interesting and you visit my posts again - but rather than flooding with single images, I sooner post less frequently, but with a greater selection and some explanations how - btw, on Nightcafe, I belong to the 'Open Prompt Gang' where we share our prompts, which helps as mutually to improve, sort of a symbiosis. All my posts on Nightcafe have the prompts showing, if you are interested, this is my link:
