My eye sight is getting worse everyday people.
This is mostly a light hearted post to give the community something low stakes to discuss and decide on.
Maybe there won’t be any interest, or maybe we have a lot of ideas for icons and even banners?
It could depend on the App you’re using, but I (using Liftoff) can see a community picture besides the title of a post
I had the idea of a seal, like the instance icon, in an ancient greek style, like on pottery, but I couldn’t find any public domain or similar images we could use for free and I’m not an artist myself
I tried for a little while to get midjourney to draw this, but the harder I tried the funnier it got.
Now I’m just sitting here laughing at seal pottery when I should be walking my dog.
Safe to say midjourney does not understand the assignment.
You might have done this judging by the red coloring of some of them, but did you try something like “athenian red-figure pottery” since apparently that’s what it’s called?
yes pretty close, here are some of the prompts I tried :
-
a brightly-lit red figure hydria. It’s painted with an image of the satisfied seal meme.
-
a brightly-lit ancient greek amphora. It depicts the satisfied seal meme
-
the satisfied seal meme painted on the side of a brightly lit red figure hydria.
If you have any ideas feel free to post up 2 or 3 prompts and I will try them (for as long as my credits allow)
How about we get rid of the pottery try to keep it simple
- A tondo in the Athenian red-figure style depicting a seal
- A tondo in the Athenian red-figure style depicting the satisfied seal meme
- An Athenian red-figure depiction of a seal
- An Athenian red-figure depiction of the satisfied seal meme
If it comes back with like governmental or organizational type seals, then maybe we switch “seal” to “pinniped”. Or “Mediterranean monk seal”, which is apparently (one of?) the type(s) of seal around Greece.
Or that doesn’t work, I don’t know. I’m not versed in AI image creation so I don’t know what limits you have or what works and doesn’t work.
I seem to have run out of fast generations because my requests are being throttled, but here are a few I got
-
I agree, i tried to leverage some ai imaging software but wasn’t satisfied with the results. We need an icon for the community and a banner would make things easier on the eyes.
Id love to see what everyone suggests we should use
which ones did you try?
Ive got midjourney and a janky local version of stable diffusion (diffusionbee) on tap. Happy to take requests (for as long as my time and credits allow)
i ran a few prompt through midjourney about ancient roman agoras and busts of satisfied seals.
I think I can get this seal bust looking more like the original with insightfaceswap tools which I just set up to play with today. Currently the images have no chill between kinda-cursed and cute.
This one’s cute

But I think this one looks rather distinguished

agree that last one is definitely on some type of atlantic council for fair distribution of tasty fish
I think one of these two could work really well!
Maybe something that captures the energy with which this seal is ‘debating’ something with this dog?
But do it up vector graphic style, but as a scene similar to (but less nightmare-inducing than) Dall-E’s effort here?
my ai art generation account seemed to get throttled yesterday, but I did get to try some of this stuff today
Also got this image, which is not very aspirational but probably closer to reality
The top-left of the 4-up is pretty good, but the top-right looks like the cover of the VHS tape for an all-aquatic-mammal remake of a kung fu movie :) The one with many seals would be spot-on, but why did the AI make it look like they’re crying? Nice one for trying some stuff out. Guess we’ll see if anything sticks!
