>TT home brew horror
The monster though was a tiny slug with long skinny tail. Crawled into a person's ear and loved off earwax but the tail goes into the inner ear for water. It's twitching and moving causes extreme levels of disorientation like any ear infection, but worse cause the tail twitches.

As he entered the forest, his bleeding had already ceased. He had used his powers to patch himself up, refusing to die in such an undignified manner, especially from a wound inflicted by some lowlife bandit. Though he could have healed himself completely, he chose to conserve his strength; there was still someone who needed this magic more. When he encountered Röst, he politely declined the item she offered and asked her to lead him to his sister.

>A group of human colonists was forced to retreat underground after a sudden and total ice age plunged the surface of their world into a frozen wasteland. Over generations, these survivors evolved into a new posthuman species known as the Lanterners. They were marked by beady, vestigial eyes, skin pale and translucent as wax, and great fleshy lantern-organs that blazed with shifting colors to illumine the dark caverns of their new society.

I was just making a ton of monster gens the last few days.

>>96369097
The Mawed were the warped descendants of famine-stricken colonists trapped for centuries in derelict orbital stations. Starvation stretched their bodies into skeletal frames, while their jaws split wide, lined with jagged teeth. Their tongues evolved into grasping rope-like tongues adapted to seize any scrap of food; endlessly gnawing at fungus, at carrion, and at one another. Their stomachs rotted into vats of bacteria capable of digesting nearly anything organic. When rediscovered, they were no longer a people but a plague that could not be reasoned with. Sapient, but unreachable.

The Iridane are the posthuman descendants of an Algero-Nigerian tradecraft, stranded upon a hospitable world of low gravity. The alien environment lengthened their bodies and sharpened their minds. Their most striking feature is their eyes: vast, luminous orbs of deep violet, shimmering with layered hues like cut crystal. With these, the Iridane perceive not only light but heat, emotion, even the faint bioelectric whispers of living flesh. Outwardly, they remain close to human, yet conversations with them carried a quiet unease. Though outwardly familiar, conversations with them left a quiet unease. It was clear they still remembered being human; yet in their violet gaze lingered the patient pity one reserves for a species already extinct.

Working on a campaign setting and I came up with the "Archivists".

>>96369938
Still working on stuff but essentially they've been corrupted to varying degrees by the hunt for arcane knowledge.
They've even got their own pocket dimension archive where they're attempting to catalog any and all magic.

>>96369989
But yeah, that's pretty much all I've got so far.
I've been toying around with the idea of them shifting between "passible human" and "ravenous chaos-spawn" forms.

>TT kill your enemies

Thought of an enemy for the lantern men. Those arent my creation, but I figured they could use something to fight against.
Coalbeasts.

>>96370460
Wouldn't coal just be fuel for their fires? Shouldn't their enemy be something like water benders? Or garden hoses?

>>96370488
That's too easy. Having them be coal constructs to compete against their wax candle aesthetic is a sort of counterpoint. How a point of light can give hope, but a blazing inferno is dangerous.

>>96370488
>>96370570
like for your character a good foil would be something like this. Another animal that is smart, crafty, agile, but mean if provoked. A dog is just too obvious.

Its funny you say that because she literally got foiled by a Chinese (well, Tian Jian because Pathfinder) finger trap. One of her students challenged her to it and she took him up and then I proceeded to roll a nat 1 on the subsequent intelligence check.

wait, there's an option to not join the guard?!

>>96371670
most guard units are recruited from a selection of the top people in planets defense forces. depending on what kind of world you live on you could easily not join the guard by choice. Some places are worse to live than being in the guard but plenty of world are fairly normal and are not hurting for recruitment to fill the tithe

What are you using to get images like these? I used to use Bing's image creator but it's been a few month and it's totally different now, it only spits out single drawings and there's no variety even when I tweak the prompt. The old version gave you four at a time and could make vastly different drawings even with the exact same prompt.

Change this back to DALL-E 3, and it'll revert back to what you are used to.

Röst looks at the capsule and hides it near a rock before leading him towards Andris. The closer they get, the more she trembles and the slower her steps become. Sunblaze eventually barks at her to hurry, startling her badly. She picks up the pace but speaks up as she does.
>She is safe, you don't need to worry. I'm just afraid for myself.
Not long later the pair approach Skogsrå and Andris. The monster appears as hostile as ever the Sunblaze. Skog stares into Röst's eyes for a few seconds then gently carries Andris to the knight and places her on the horses back. Two vines wrap around her to hold her steady.

Upon arriving in town, Sunblaze rushed into the temple’s hospital with his sister in his arms, who had lost consciousness again halfway through the journey. The healers on duty quickly took her in to tend to her injuries.

Naturally, he didn’t want to appear ungrateful, even if the help came from a talking goat creature. Knowing Röst had nowhere else to go, he arranged a place for her to stay. Unfortunately, the only accommodation anyone was willing to offer was a barn on the edge of the town’s borough.
He knew he’d eventually need to consult the town’s administration about what to do next, but, drained from the day’s events, he decided to leave that for tomorrow morning.

And a dagnabbit and tarnation to you too, you old grouch.

How do the online generators compare to comfy ui I've never really used them

>>96375904
I'd say it's like comparing windows to Linux. Ones easy to use off the bat but does have genuine grievances, the other takes a lot of effort to make it work for you but is ultimately better for specific tasks.

>>96375904
The free ones just suck compared to local. The paid ones like NAI are alright, still not quite as outright powerful as Comfy if you're an expert.

>>96375957
At least Sora can 99% of the time make a hand with 5 fingers :^)

She started to wake up early, even though she still wasn’t feeling well. Her head throbbed, and her limbs felt like jelly. Though her memory of what had happened was hazy, she felt a wave of relief upon realizing she was in a hospital bed.

>>96376018
It's nowhere near that number and the hands still tend to be mushy as misshapen, meanwhile Comfy does have a hand detailer I wasn't using there.

>>96376078
>It's nowhere near that number
Nope
>and the hands still tend to be mushy as misshapen
True, it depends the type of prompt
>meanwhile Comfy does have a hand detailer I wasn't using there.
Or you could inpaint it

>>96376110
>inpaint
That too, in fact the checkpoints get hands right often enough that the hand detailer is wasted time in most circumstances, quicker to just fix the odd one where there's a mistake.

>>96375758
Oh well. It's a two-year old gen.

Lol, implying she'd even let you put it in before the neurotoxins make you go limp and turn purple

>>96376935
Sorry, I was thinking Bing, not Sora. I don't use Sora much so can't comment on it

>>96376960
Yeah, Bing has been lobotomized. It's mostly only useful at coming up with an initial picture to plug into other, better generators now.

>>96375957
I'm curious why even use the online ones when comfy exists? Is hardware restraints?

— The first four Proclamations of the Dreadnoughts

I've been playing around with monster generation to see if I could do a blobber with them.

>>96377800
That's a couple examples. Are they any good?

>>96377813
this one is the best of those
>>96377764
but they are all decent with the exception of the lizardman mostly because the artstyle doesn't work in its favour. It's proportions are all out of whack too paired with jarring hallucinations. A change in artstyle and running the prompt again might fix that though.

>>96377764
>>96377772
>>96377791
>>96377800
>>96377813
I like 'em

>>96377828
I think lizardman and pig were when I was still playing with some style values so that's why the style is a bit different. I should regenerate them.

I thought it was neat as sort of a 4 legged 2 handed lizardman-centaur being. Is it the upper body being too large or what do you mean with the proportions? The extra leg was an accident but I liked it conceptually. Here's the same prompt with 2 legs. Maybe I should try to target 4 legs 2 hands and see if I get better results.

>>96377840
Thanks. I saved a couple of those flaming sword gens of yours. They came out really nice.

>>96366907
awesome but would be cuter with paws

>>96377926
That's already a lot better. I definitely wasn't against the centaur look but only have 3 legs was disjointed. The whole image felt like it was pasted together from different gens which was the issue with the first, not the design in concept. The biggest proportion issue was the really short upper arms, and the snake neck being larger above the shoulder than at the shoulder. For this one, only the hips-tail part looks off. The creatures left arm is longer than the right arm but that's just the way AI likes to do things.

>>96377647
Yeah, I hope it meta will give us free MJ gens, it's still the aesthetic king

>change the dog to a bobcat

So, nano-banana is really good

>>96378093
Oh the one hand it did what you asked, on the other it didn't really copy the artstyle.

>>96378104
it's the only one who didn't change it completely

e.g.
>change the deer to tigers

>>96378104

>>96378070
Agreed

>>96378045
>The whole image felt like it was pasted together from different gens which was the issue with the first
I've noticed that happening with some of the weirder gens I've tried, probably because my checkpoint and lora don't have enough reference to come up with what I prompted. It was a hassle when I tried to make a half-woman half-snake type of naga. Img2img somewhat helps make up for that.

>The creatures left arm is longer than the right arm but that's just the way AI likes to do things.
So true. I'm so used to looking at sloppa that I don't even notice some of it.

Used your image for i2i for this one. Took a bit of fiddling to get a good spear pose but this looks a lot better. In a way I liked those short stumpy feet so I might still try for that.

>>96378303
Yeah the short legs worked well with the look. More of a crocodile body shape might look good too. Otherwise yeah this image looks pretty good. The style change to a shinier look really helps it pop too.

>>96367280

what is the prompts

>>96379529
Man, that was a long time ago. Fuck if I know. I'll see if I can replicate it and get back to you.

>>96379582
