I am intending to read a story I wrote on my youtube channel, and I'd like to try using Dall-E for the thumbnail (Though I'll probably just settle for progrockdiffusion )


Thumbnail

The story is about two Emulated Minds/AIs, one of whom (the main protagonist), is going to get upgraded to going significantly faster. It's also about the protagonist meeting different versions of herself, self-cooperation, and identity exploration in all that.

What I have in mind for the thumbnail (if I were to paint it myself):
The two emulated minds, dating around a coffee, both coded as female as the novellette uses female-by-default pronouns. Viewed from the city. Everything looks mostly normal, maybe passerbys are represented as sort of light spheres to show an element of weirdness.

You may however try whatever else fits the theme: The image I'll choose may not have anything to do with the description above, as long that I feel that it matches the story and vibe I am going for.


This market

Post your answers! I will post the batch of results (though I may filter some to fit the guidelines/etc). I will only give points for one image per batch (its maximum).

If an image is so cool I want to use it immediatly, I will resolve to its prompt 100%. Otherwise, I will use a point system: 1 point if the image is cool/interesting in a way I want to share/save it, 5 points if it's a favorite of mine


Examples

Here are examples of images, their prompt, points, and why (they will not be accepted as answers):

“A concept-art image of two emulated minds dating at a coffee shop, from afar, digital-art in the style of Paul Robertson with a peaceful feeling and an ambiguous time of day.”

2.5 points. By far my favorite. It's exactly the color cheme I want, the sky is a nice indication of weirdness that they are emulated. It feels very empty and I'm not able to get Dall-E to center the characters.

“A concept-art image of two emulated minds dating at a coffee shop, from their perspective, digital-art in the style of Paul Robertson with a peaceful feeling and an ambiguous time of day.”

1.5 points. There's something unique to this one, but I don't know if the color schemes are what I would go for. My biggest problem is that the streets feel very empty.

“Two emulated minds dating, from afar, digital art in the style of 'Blade Runner 2049'”

0.75 points. It is fairly bland and generic, but I like the lines that show their emulations somewhat subtly. I'd probably prefer a blue palette scheme.

I have tried specifying "two female emulated minds" or "two female figures" but it seems the results are subpar whenever I try this.


I will not be betting on this market (except for subsidies - can't wait for CPMM)
