On the private DALL-E 2 Discord server the theme for today was “cat” so I decided to take a go at cat astronauts with the follwing query “wood carving of a cat astronaut”. These images are computer-generated images made by OpenAI’s DALL-E 2.

There is a private Discord server for individuals with access to OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 and while sharing some of my preferred styles to add to queries someone shared “crochet granny squares with me” so I decided to give it a few tests, these are the first images I found worth saving and were computer-generated with the following query “photo of a dragon made from crochet granny squares”

So the YouTube channel LGR has had Cool Crab in several of his videos and Cool Crab also gets a lot of attention in his subreddit /r/LGR so I decided to feed OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 the prompt “Cool crab using a vintage computer” today to see what awesomeness we could get. The following images are computer-generated from the above prompt.

If you browse through my creations you’ll see I really like doing queries containing “Baroque” as I’ve always been a big fan of Baroque pieces. That said, these computer-generated images were made by OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 with the following prompt “a baroque painting of an alien abduction”

There’s a (disturbing to all that are sane) video series on YouTube called “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared”. The creatures in these videos are visually interesting so I thought I’d give DALL-E 2 some stills and see what alternate images it would generate. In this series the original image will be first, followed by 5 computer-generated alternate versions.

So, everyone loves Halloween right? Well I love Baroque paintings and Halloween so I thought I would give OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 the following query “a baroque painting of the most Halloween of Halloweens with skeletons and vampires”. These computer-generated images are AWESOME!

Since I’m a mostly-done strength athlete, and still have gobs and gobs of strength athlete friends, I decided to see what OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 could do given some sort of strength prompt. These digital images were generated entirely by the following prompt “sculpture of a female strongman made from bronze, studio lighting, Sigma 85 mm f/1.4”

I’ve figured out that OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 is really good at generating H. R. Giger inspired art. I was curious to see what sort of temples it might create given the following query “h.r. giger drawing of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints”, oh man, a few of these are Amazing. Can you imagine if a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint temples actually looked like one of these?! Some of the temples have a lot of non-members going to them for prom, wedding, quinceanera, etc photos but if some of them looked like this I think you’d have gobs of cosplayers showing up too!

These are hands down the coolest things I’ve generated with OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 today. I fed the system the prompt “h.r. giger drawing of vintage computers” and it generated these digital images. Siiiick!
