Which Image Is Your Favorite?

~ Asking For A Friend ~


Once again, I created a poll to see who would like to participate in helping me select the best image. Since art is and it's appreciation is fairly subjective... i always find the diversity of reasoning behind people's reasons for determining what they enjoy and find to be best, in their opinion.

So, I am not really asking for a friend... (instead of myself) but rather Asking my friends. I have considered minting some of my AI generated art over at NFT Showroom. Maybe I could start using the polling feature to have you all select which artworks would be of interest.

I could say something about each of these images and what all it took to get to these results. However, I don't want to influence the polling. Even selecting a thumbnail will partially bias everyone that takes time to look at this post in full.


Blue Looks Good On You

I do want to mention that it was the suggestion of one of my friends on my last poll that led the way for this semi-themed display of images. There was also a bit of influence from a few of my other friends as well. So, a big thank you to those unnamed folks!

~ Decisions Decisions ~

I personally always find it difficult to make a decision on stuff like this. I usually find the successes and faults or failures in each image. Eventually, I will begin to fix those faults and possibly merge multiple successes into single artworks by editing and digital amendments to the generative artworks. For now, time only allows for me to get my curation work done and make a simple post about once every 4 months. hahaha

So, for now I plan and arrange my thoughts and ideas into something creatively inspiring. I really appreciate the help you all give me with your feedback, suggestions, and now polling data.

I got really interesting and amazing results from some of the prompts that I did. My formula was to mix and match certain elements I've successfully experimented with before that I knew would do something cool. However, I ended up with many images (yet to be shared) which turned out way different than even i anticipated. I'm looking forward to playing around with some more!


Very Interesting Indeed!

~ Final Considerations ~

In conclusion, I would like to mention a few things to consider before you decide which image to vote on in the poll.

  • Consider any flaws that you may find in the images and how they could affect your vote.

  • Make sure to look at the details. There are often details that go overlooked or that, upon closer inspection, may not be as well defined as it would seem.

  • Consider the background. I find that the backgrounds can make or break an image.

  • Think about the overall design and composition.

  • Consider beauty. I find each of these images to be beautiful myself and all for different reasons. But, as they say... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Now that you have seen all of the options it would be lovely to hear your thoughts and feelings about them in the comments. If you vote in the poll, which I hope that everyone does, please leave your selection that you voted for in the comments.

I would really enjoy hearing any critiques, suggestions, or feedback in the comments. You never know when your comment may inspire a poll post of it's own! hahaha

Finally, a last question....
Should I begin to mint the Poll Winners as NFTs? If so, who would be interested in collecting these kinds of NFTs?

Thanks for stopping by to enjoy the art and hopefully you will remember to click your favorite in the poll and comment which one it was in the comments.


Until Next Time, Take Care

Sort:  

I've been waiting for the results. Absolutely beautiful, each one of them. However, #2 and #10 are my favorites.

#2 - I voted for. Power exudes from the facial feature with the eyes the look of dominance. Especially with the breasts standing to attention and its aim foreboding, saying "don't mess with me cause you can't handle it".

#10 should also be minted. I love the body proportions. The slight sneer in the curvature of her lips speaks, "I dare you!" The regal quality is beyond words. If I were a male, I'd follow her anywhere.

You did an awesome job with my suggestion. I appreciate your efforts.

Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a good rest of your week.

I have a lot more results and am looking forward to experimenting some more with some other different winning combos prompt-wise with this theme. Some of the other results were a bit weird and different and deserve a post of their own.

Number 2 is a very fine selection. I really enjoy hearing your critiques and interpretations of the images. Your descriptions are spot on.

I really enjoyed this run and theme. I have done many multicultural and multi-ethnic prompts, and they tend to be some of my favorites when they are successful. When they don't work they fail miserably. I blame that on the language models and the training data they draw from. So, crafting the prompts becomes a bit more of a puzzle.

Thank you very much for the encouragement, inspiration, and direction with these. Also, thank you for casting your vote. You take care and have an awesome end to your week as well.

Hello, I really like number 7, which is the one I voted for. Despite its imperfections, it is well-balanced, and I also like the volume of the hair and its vintage style. It reminds me of characters from slightly fantastical series from the late 1970s. I also like the very last image, number 12, and strangely, no one has voted for it. She has generous curves, the body of a mother, a family woman, a woman's body that looks like a woman. With a small belly, beautiful hips, and a nice arch. The background further enhances the strength of the foreground.





You picked two of my favorites. I loved the color and clothing on 7. Of course, the volume of the curly hair mixed with those redtones contrasted well with her lovely skin tone. It does kind of have a retro-futuristic feel to it. I thought the balance was excellent other than her weird hand. But in trying to correct the hand each other iteration ended up without the cool rainbow clothing.

Number 12 was my personal favorite. I thought it had the best of everything. And, once again, each time I tried to get the same image but in the portrait orientation, it lost most of what made this one my favorite. You described her perfectly. The clothing and shine showed off the contours and further accentuated the beauty.

Here is one that I tried to get that same image just in portrait dimensions. I did get some good results but not what I wanted. I may make a post on this series since they all looked good even if they weren't what I wanted.

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment and vote in the poll!

Your idea is good, yes we should also publish this series. The image you just posted is balanced. The background is very art deco with the gilding and patterns. I also like it a lot. There was a graphic designer in the 19th century called “Alfons Mucha”.

Poster designer. He created advertising posters which are worth quite a lot today. I have already used this name in my prompts and the result was satisfactory. But I think that with your computing power you should be able to obtain a nice result.

If you ever want to try it I would be delighted to see the result

10! :-)

Fine choice my old friend! Very fine indeed.

#2 stood out the most to me, that transition between the blue head and face is very striking especially with the glare she is giving. Although I don't like her being topless, I feel it's provocative for provocative sake which then takes away from the genuine representation of beauty and ethnicity/femininity. Maybe #2 on #10 or #11 body/outfit. Overall they're all awesome though just the look #2 is giving hits.

Your comment means a lot to me. I highly respect your art and the symbolic expressions you put into your artwork. Thank you for critiquing constructively. I do usually add the word nude into my prompts to get a more provocative pose or figure and sometimes even then, there is no nudity.

My personal favorite was the last one. I wasn't going to tell anyone, but your comment resonated enough to disclose. Thanks for taking the time to construct such a meaningful comment and taking the time to engage. I hope you voted in the poll.

Here was one just for you based on your preferences.

image.png

Though with generative art it's not as consistent as one would like quite yet, unless you plan for it to be.

❤️‍🔥that's the exact combo I imagined.

I like the last one also, has a regal feel, keep up the great work, these prompts are strong!

I actually used the word Regal in many of the prompts from this selection... Funny you should mention the same archaic word. I did about 5 or 6 to get that one. Here are two more of those.

I voted for number 10! The combination of the black skin colour with the gold is fascinating, as well as the expression of beauty, serenity, mysticism and mystery. The costumes are beautiful, elegant and attractive. A lot of sensuality and beauty.😍

Number 10 was a great choice. Obviously, it's the thumbnail... but I have a hard time selecting a favorite since they all have that sensual beauty you mentioned. Some of the costumes were really cool too. Thanks for taking the time to vote and comment. I do really appreciate it!
I did this one with you in mind during one of my runs.

image.png

Woww it's really beautiful and full of light!😍

Voted! A very interesting collection of images this week!

This was an interesting collection. I tried to spread it out since I had so much variety as well as a bunch of iterations of each one. Some better than others of course. If you don't want to stay anonymous in your vote.... may I ask, which one did you fancy the most?

I'm the only one who picked #8 so far. I like the blues.

It looks like we have a second vote for 8 so far. That was one of my personal favs for the symmetry and balance along with the blue hair. Thanks for participating and engaging in the comments my old friend. Maybe we should make a new 'Dolphin School'... hahaha

I'd be up for that if I could find the time :) I have a couple buddies I onboarded and they haven't been doing much with their accounts.

I was mostly joking since you would be one of the only people left that would get my joke. I wonder where that dude ever went.
I'd be up for it too if I had the time as well. Everyone I ever onboarded is inactive except for one that I help intimately. I think she is too old to teach so I just help her with the legwork.

Much love brother! If you ever find time... we could discuss more seriously something similar but WAY better than what that Dolphin School was. Besides, looks like you are an Orcha by now if I am seeing it properly.

I wonder where that dude ever went.

I was just thinking the same thing! I can't remember his name now. Maybe he is living large off all the money he said his son was making doing YouTube videos. I think it would take a lot of time and dedication to run something like that. Plus, a lot of the tools we used to use back then for tracking are no longer existent. I think there is a lot more scrutiny these days too. I'm hoping to hit 100K by the end of the year, but I think it is going to be a stretch!

#11 is beautifully princess😘

I totally agree! Actually, i used the word Queen in the prompt so it's a grown up princess I suppose! The beauty is undeniable!
Did you cast your vote in the poll?

Yes, this looks like the princess in the film Aladdin, a beautiful princess from the Middle Eastern plains, like a jewel in the middle of the arid desert😘..Yes, I've voted😁

I don't see any votes for number 11 yet. So, double check to make sure you voted for 11. If not, then just click 11 and it will override your current vote. Now that you mention, it does look a bit like the Aladdin princess. hahaha

I've voted again, has the result changed now? yes she is very sweet😊

It's good now! Thanks brother.

You are welcome,sir😊

It was hard to choose but I had to pick one amongst the 4 I found as favorites and very interesting.

That is an excellent choice! I loved all of the ones from that series of runs. 4 definitely had some mystique to it as well as some nice and strange beauty. Thanks for participating and voting!

Well, I actually mean I found four interesting photos that were difficult to choose one from but I ended up picking number 8 because of the calmness of the blue in it.

Which other 3 were you wrestling with? I think they were all cool in their own ways and reasons individually. Number 8 had a very nice symmetrical design... but I would have cropped it better if I was AI in the framing of that composition.

Yeahhh...there is this calmness, harmony and rhythm that I feel whenever I look at that image.
Number 10, 5 and 12 are topnotch for me too.

I like number 11 best, for me it is the most beautiful and elegance

You can't go wrong with number 11, for sure! I really enjoyed the way the portrait was balanced with beauty, detail, and color! Thanks for participating.

This is me wondering how you were able to manage generating this type of images with AI. I thought AI, in a way, are not allowed to create images like this. Which AI did you use to generate this?

What do you mean not allowed to create images like this for AI? I use the Arty bot that I have mentioned in many of my other posts with invitation links to join. Did you vote and do you have a favorite of these images?

Yeah I have voted. I will check out the bot.. Thanks for sharing.

But still, what did you mean?
Which one did you vote for, if I may ask?

When I said not allowed, I meant AI being restricted from creating images with explicit content. I voted for 2. I am the kind of guy who is attracted to boobs. Hence why.

I thought that is what you were referring to. I too am attracted to the feminine elements of contour and design. hahaha on most apps and sites nudity and/or explicit content is forbidden.

But on the bot on discord, built by Ausbit, there are many features, models, and samplers where nudity is an option. It mostly depends on the prompt and settings though.

Number 2 was/is a great choice. I loved the realism, balance, and symmetry to that one in particular. Thanks for engaging and participating.

Love the 7th, yeah

7 is awesome!

The eleventh picture is outstanding
The lady is so sexy!

I love 11 and there wouldn't be an 11 without 12 to be honest.
Did you vote?

Ooh yea
I voted

Sweet, thanks for voting! Why did you pick 11 over all the others??

Looks sexier😅

Thanks for the beer too!

I like the 11th picture. I think the woman looks so beautiful and wise, it's extraordinary. Thank you for sharing❤

Did you cast your vote for number 11? If you had to pick a a second and third choice.... which ones would you go with?

I have voted number 11.
If I were given two more choices then I would choose number 2 and number 3, it's really beautiful and extraordinary🥰

I'm just making sure everyone votes... not that anyone has to. 2 and 3 are completely different than number 11, so I like the variety of your preferences. In future vote I might start letting people choose 2 or 3 options. I just want people to vote at all before I see if this is helpful to me in anyway. Cheers

I would choose number 11. It seems to me that this is the most harmonious picture. Well, or I just liked the type of girl, somehow my gaze lingered on her the most. And for some reason I immediately had some kind of association with the Greek roots of this character.😁

11 is a very fine choice. I like that you described your experience of lingering and being more drawn and connected to that one. As a photographer, your professional opinion has some weight to it with me. Thanks for taking time to stop by and enjoy the art as well as comment. I hope you voted in the poll with your selection!

Of course I voted.)

This one is the best for me, I want to try AI art some times 🤗

image.png

This one was my favorite as well. Make sure to cast your vote in the poll! I see there are no votes yet for number 12. Thanks for swinging by and I'm glad you liked the AI art. You can check out some of my other posts that have an invite link to the discord where the bot can be used for free. Cheers!

Hey @castleberry, I need you to tell me a secret 😜

How did you manage to post this poll in a community? Or did you add the poll later? I've never used the poll option, but I want to in the future. Thanks!

Later Edit: Never mind, I found it.

I actually typed my post up and then copy pasted the whole thing into the poll post. There isn't a save or draft feature (that I know of) so, I just did up a draft and then migrated it to the poll. Almost everything else about creating one is the same as a draft for a normal post.

Glad you figured it out and sorry for the late response. Did you vote and if so, may I ask for which one?!

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't notice there's no save option and that could be a problem, so better do it in a blog post and copy it after. Have you spoken with the developers about this?

I voted for several, but now it only shows one :(

No, i haven't had time for much lately... but I will try to get in touch this weekend on their discord.

I set this poll to only allow one vote per person. So, which ever the last one you clicked on will be the only one that is counted. The votes can be changed until the poll ends.

In the settings you can set as many votes as you want to allow and you can also limit who can vote based on Hive Power and Age of Account I think. So, there are some parameters that you can set when creating the poll.

You are quite the artist yourself!

I love blue ... so I had to go with No. 8 -- Blue in power!

Thank you so much! Most of the art is thanks to the prompting ability... so I can only take credit for wordsmithing. hahaha

8 was one of my favorites because of how well the Blue turned out for her beautiful hair! The only thing I can't tell...

If she was/is an Alien is she looking at Captain Kirk or Commander Riker?! hahaha

I hadn't passed by here.

I love number 2 because it's a mix of alien.

and the number 10 because it looks like Cleopatra to me.

untitled.gif

untitled.gif

Thanks for swinging by. It did/does kind have that Cleopatra or Queen of Shiba vibe to it for 10. Number 2 is awesome as well for the reasons you mentioned.
Which one did you vote for?
untitled.gif

2 - 10

i really like #1 compared to the others. something just pops about it

I am surprised that nobody else chose that one as well. It was one of my favorites because it did pop in a way that none of the others did. Plus, I love Japanese Red Maples! hahaha Thanks for swinging by and taking the time to comment.

Man, are you posting from an alternate Swedish dimension? I always miss your posts, and that gives me fever. Beautiful creations. I like this one because it reminds of a science fiction story I wrote about a male soldier trapped inside the body of a female that looked just like this one. 😄

image.png

Dude that's rad! This one did turn out really cool. I bet that is an interesting story too. Sometimes, I think I just get lucky but since I have been doing it since outputs pretty much sucked maybe some prompt crafting skill is also part of the secret recipe. Thanks for swinging by my friend.

It's absolutely unique in spite of the element of chance combined with the model training. It's the only one of its kind in the world. That's what's mind blowing. I think of it as exploring the AI space as it interacts with my own mind. Things are only going to get weirder.
