Black and white close-up photo of the king of autumn’s mask. The moss, twigs, and feathers are displayed in intricate detail, revealing the texture and patterns. The mask’s elements seem to come alive, with every strand of moss and feather visible, giving a sense of depth and dimension.

Made with DALL-E 3 and ChatGPT 4.
Prompt:
Photorealistic image of a porcelain mask representing a barn owl. The porcelain is glazed with a rich shade of purple, giving it a lustrous finish. Instead of traditional feathers, the mask boasts meticulously cut amethyst gemstones, each resembling the form of a feather. These gemstone feathers glisten in varying shades of purple, harmonizing with the glazed porcelain. The mask's facial details are accentuated with golden gilding, and the eyes emit a mesmerizing gold glow, standing out against the purple backdrop.Clear Theme +1 Prompt included +1 Total 2 points I said it before, but I really wish there was a zoom-in button in Lemmy (using the website). The details really make your mask shine.
Also, I really really love the matching robe. Too bad it wasn’t part of the challenge.I decided to make a matching robe, similar to what @ricecake@sh.itjust.works did with their matching armor.
Prompt:
Photorealistic image of a wizard's robe in a captivating lavender hue. The robe's velvet fabric glimmers subtly, reminiscent of enchanted porcelain. Its trim is uniquely adorned with amethyst gemstones meticulously cut to resemble delicate feathers, each glowing with a variety of lavender shades, suggesting a mystical origin. The robe is richly embroidered with golden threads, creating patterns of arcane symbols and ancient lore across its surface. It features dramatically wide sleeves and a high, pointed collar, elements that are emblematic of a wizard's dignified attire.I really love that robe and wish it was real
Oh man, that robe is awesome! Fits the mask really well too. :)

I haven’t used it myself, but I think the Bing Image Creator is free as well and it has a much better quality. Maybe you can try it out and see if it works for you?Tried the Bing AI and BEHOLD!!!
What a bobby dazzler!
Like night and day :) That looks so much nicer.
Nice mask, and welcome to the community :)
Maybe it would be a good idea to have a post pinned with some information for those who want to get started with AI image generation.
