Combo of 2 Wombos.
Prompts: Giant alien spacecraft attacking village, in style of Thomas Kinkade
Style: Spectral
Is it just me or do you think it is hilarious to see one of those sweet little Kinkade scenes under attack? Maybe they shouldn't have had all those windows so lit up? Yeah, I was in a weird mood. Probably spending too much time on Wombo : )
2 Wombo creations blended together in Pixelmator Pro.
Prompts: Alien females living in underground cave steampunk city, style of Maxfield Parrish, ultra realistic details, 4K
Style: The City
Yes, I did have a lot of fun with mixing sci fi and Parrish.
Thank you for beaming into my photostream!

Not a face I want to meet in the moonlight! A much kinder soul than his facade indicates. Plus he keeps his kingdom free from rats. Not much gets accomplished though, since his answer to everything is "Who?"
Thank you for all your comments, invitations and faves.
I felt the need to get beyond the confines of the imagination in a more accentuated way.
Perhaps the forced "captivity" of these days:))
I apologize to friends who follow me for other works
I found the stimulant Alien Worlds Challenge - February 2018
and I let myself be carried away....

The original photo was of a lone tree in a field in De Forest, Wisconsin. Photofox Cloud Wanderer components were used to create this image.
Who’d have thought that photography, architecture, eroticism and science fiction could combine, well, I did! This was a passing by moment in the car, had the camera in my hand, reached out, snapped off the shot at an angle and this was the result of, the Berlin main train station, it’s a huge place and an architectural photographer’s playground.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! 😊
Created with 2 Wombo images.
Prompts: clear glass vase with alien plant, roots in the water, black background, rough dark wood table, dark room, side lighting, ultra realistic details
Sorry, I didn't make note of the style but it looks like either The City or Soft Touch.
The thing I enjoy most about AI is making things that do not exist in a realistic style. Of course I enjoy landscapes and flowers, but I truly have the most fun coming up with imaginary things and places. I hope you enjoy the wanderings of my imagination.
The original photo was of a corner of State Street in Madison, Wisconsin. Photoleap was used to create this image using element of photos that I have taken.
Welcome one and all to the mysterious swamp shrine to the goddess Vitae, lover of life and hater of war. Her greeniness goes well with the gnarly moldy swamp waters we've chosen to place the shrine on. Luckily the platform is raised up a bit so the noxious smells are a bit dissipated at this height. Plus, you're going to be high as hell from whatever potent trippy shit is emanating from the eternal green flames in the flora ring of divine discussion - i.e. the plant filled arch where you chat with Vitae whilst on some serious drugs.
Also, high diviner Scruffy has brought a tasty treat - he'll be serving fried space snake for everyone at the meet and greet after the service!

This build and many more to come on this account are for the game Decisive Action 4 on Flickr. Come on over and check it out!

A cool new addition to the 80 days sim : *80Days* IN A GALAXY ... a STAR WARS venue

I love this outpost. It does have a lot of mesh figures standing here and there but Camila did a wonderful job finding some alien ones and grouping them to make some fun photo vignettes. So far I found two bars you can go inside where you can sit and have a drink.A lot of the buildings look closed but if you touch the airlock door, they open and you can enter the bar, diner, boxing ring or whatever. It looks like a space outpost on an outer planet that is a mix of high tech and medieval village so you'll see a space flyer and also a butcher stall with carcasses to sell meat. I love the feel here. It's perfect to hang with friends and do a roleplay or do a photoshoot featuring scifi clothes.
If you join the 80 days group, you can rez things temporarily for taking pics which is how we're using the Firefly jetbike by Abranimations
Landscaping/Interior decorating of the scenic outpost by C̲a̲m̲i̲l̲a̲ (camila.runo).
A lot of the things are linked here probably to reduce prim count so for many things I can't provide details. So this time I'm going to pass on listing everything I can click on.
The original photo was of Chicago's Union Station where local commuter trains and Amtrak goes. Photoleap was used to convert it into an intergalactic transit station.
The massive UCS Millennium Falcon model. This is not mine, I borrowed it from Colin, who lives down the street. I had never seen this in hand and I must say that it’s far more impressive than any photograph can ever express. It’s HUGE!
Now, I am waiting for LEGO to release a new edition of this, a TFA version with the updated antenna. Come on, you know it’s coming, it has to be...
Incidentally, with this particular image I had Fullnilson in mind. I tried to do it a little differently but he has nailed this kind of thing pretty conclusively.
This was photographed exclusively for my "Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy" book.
The original photo was of a science fiction themed display at the John Michael Kohler Art Center. Photoleap was used to create this image.
Adrienne kept to the path, following the dusty boot tracks as if something unseen were tugging her forward. The pull toward the distant glow was subtle at first—tugging at her chest—then stronger, almost insistent. She told herself it was nerves, imagination, exhaustion. But the feeling didn’t fade.
She passed more structures scattered across the plain, each carved from the same pale stone as the temple where she’d first arrived. Their lines were familiar yet wrong—echoes of Egyptian, Incan, Babylonian—but blended into an architectural style no human culture had ever built.
The heat was relentless. The air scraped her throat with every breath. She stopped often, hands on her knees, waiting for her lungs to catch up. Sweat soaked her clothes She peeled off her plaid shirt and stuffed it into her pack. Her canteen was already half-empty, and the sun was still climbing.
The sounds of fighting grew louder—sharper cracks, deeper booms—but still far ahead.
What unsettled her more was the sense of eyes on her. The land was open, broken only by boulders and jagged outcroppings. She slipped into the shadow of one and waited, watching. Nothing moved. She picked up very faint thoughts, words she didn’t understand. The feeling persisted, prickling the back of her neck.
When she finally pushed on, she spotted dark shapes strewn across the ground. She approached slowly.
Giant insects—massive, armored, grotesque—lay twisted and broken in the dust. The same species she’d seen flying overhead earlier. Dozens of them. Their chitin was cracked open, ichor baked black by the sun. The hybrids had cut through them easily.
But then she saw the soldiers.
Or what was left of them.
Bodies torn open, limbs missing. Something had fed.
Movement flickered at the edge of her vision. She dropped behind a rock and dug out her binoculars. The shapes resolved into a tide of beetle-like creatures—hundreds, maybe more—racing across the plain toward the glow. A living current of chitin and legs.
A sound snapped behind her.
She spun.
Soldiers. All around her. Guns raised. Eyes hard.
They saw her at the same instant she saw them.
Instinct took over. She activated her VDD, willing it to jump—anywhere, any dimension, back to the temple, back home—
Nothing.
She tried again. And again. There was nowhere to run.
Panic surged.
“Hold it right there… don’t move,” one soldier barked.
Another narrowed his eyes. “What is a human doing here?”
“Take her,” a third said. “The captain will want to see this.”

An old shot, I was just trying out a few different lighting designs, but its something I've kept coming back to, I think its the reflections on the head.
A Spanish wizard trapped in a teacup while his lizard elemental looks on. Yes, I do read a lot of science fantasy novels. Photoleap components were used to create this image,
I am a Star Wars fan and I'm not ashamed of it. If Luke Skywalker had a distant relative, this might be him. May the Force be with you.
Thanks be too Drecci Gislaadt for his atistry and sharing of his pics in this vizion. To see the originals follow the links.........

Adrienne did not fall through the portal so much as unravel into it. One moment she was reaching back toward Kayla’s outstretched hand, the next she was flung across a gulf of folded dimensions, her body stretched thin as a thought.
Everything rapidly swirled around her as if she was inside a tornado. The air was sucked from her lungs. Adrienne felt she was suffocating. She fought it but finally blacked out.
When she struck ground again, it was on a world suspended in the gravitational stillness at the exact center of the universe… the planet Aion.
She was lying on cold stone. She could breathe but was sick to her stomach and everything was blurry. She lay still, trying to gather her thoughts. Slowly everything came into focus. Her surroundings were similar to those in the cavern. Stone walls and columns with hieroglyphs.
Her legs trembled when she pushed herself upright. She needed to get back. Back through the portal. Back to the others. But how had it taken her like that?
She felt the wall behind her… rippled but solid. Where was the portal? Panic surged. She moved from wall to wall, searching, slapping her hands against the stone. Nothing.
She forced herself to stop, sit, breathe. She pulled out her VDD and keyed in her apartment coordinates. A red warning blinked: LOCATION DOES NOT EXIST. The cavern coordinates—same result. Kayla’s VDD—not registering. She tried the Vtec Reyka had given her. Only dead silence.
At least she still had her backpack. She had water, a few granola and cashew bars, flashlight, binoculars and her .45 automatic pistol. She drew the pistol from its holster fitted to the backpack. She looked around, then racked the slide to load a round into the chamber, safety on and returned it to the holster. Just in case, she thought.
Her head cleared. Her pulse steadied. She shouldered the pack and moved down the corridor toward a doorway. She paused, listening—nothing—and stepped outside. This place was not a cave like she expected but rather a stone building.
The air was thin and tasted faintly of sulfur. The sun shone bright, but the sky was wrong—dark grey due to the thin atmosphere. Rhe sky was a vast sphere of drifting constellations and wandering planets clearly visible, as if the heavens themselves were rotating around her.
The land was dry and completely barren. Dust. Stone. Silence. A path cut across the plain a few hundred yards away. Better than standing around here, she thought. She brushed grit from her clothes and headed toward it.
She knew she wasn’t alone. The hybrid soldiers had come through the portal as well. Boot tracks crisscrossed the dusty soil—fresh, numerous leading toward the path.
The sound of a distant explosion rolled across the landscape.
Stay alert she told herself. They probably weren’t far ahead.
