Additional Prompt:
Fantasy artwork merging (Albino Devil in the Bush with Brain Salad Surgery:1.3), highly detailed and elegant, influenced by Tim Burton, Alexander Jansson, and Bill Carman, award-winning, psychedelic, photorealistic, ultra-realistic, (Ayahuasca-inspired:1.3), high definition, crisp quality, fantasy, cryptid taxidermy, imperial colors

EVOLVED
The original creation was actually a complete abstract color flow. I then overcooked it in SD mode (using multiple prompts) and eventually evolved it in SDXL 1.0 using the 'Inner Life' prompt only with just the addition of 'acrylic pour art'.
I made it several times with varying image and prompt strengths.
Please note:
I had been put on a 'time out ban' into the Nightcafe penalty box until November 6th 2023. Until then I can create and edit but not publish or comment. I still can upvote and award tips.
I can't wait for my ban to be over - then I can 'clusterbomb' Nightcafe with pent-up creations - there are already hundreds of them!

The seed image was a long-lost acrylic painting of mine. What AI did with it following the prompt is quite fantastic.

AI Creation on Artbreeder
If your aim is weird psychedelic/surreal buffoonery, you will find Artbreeder the perfect platform to let it all hang out.
A prompt shared between my good buddy Paulo and myself had resulted in some wild images on Nightcafe already, but mixing images together and playng around with the noise values on Artbreeder gets results beyond any imagination. The beauty in this is that unlike getting the 'pig in a poke' where you get results after you click 'create', on Artbreeded you got a scale slider that lets you play with the noise, and you see what you have done. Once you are satisfied with it, you just click 'safe' and go from there, like, enhance, and pin it to your profile page.

PROMPT:
SALVADOREAN CONSTRUCTION a early Dali Style painting by the Mystic Otto Rapp, a brainstorm under the influence of funny bone extract and ayahuasca dreams in the style of Hieronymus Bosch and Max Ernst with Salvadore Dali, fascinating; controversial. Cryptid taxidermy, Bogomil's Universe.
Cajun Encounters operates in the Honey Island Swamp.
The Honey Island Swamp monster is a legendary hominid cryptid reported to have been seen in Honey Island Swamp, Louisiana, since 1963.
The first claimed sighting was in 1963 by Harlan Ford, a retired air traffic controller who had taken up wildlife photography. After his death in 1980, a reel of Super 8 film showing the creature was allegedly found among his belongings.
In 1974, the monster gained national fame after Ford and his friend Billy Mills claimed to have found unusual footprints in the area, as well as the body of a wild boar whose throat had been gashed. Ford continued to hunt for the creature for the next six years.
The creature is described as bipedal, 7 feet (2 m) tall, with gray hair and yellow or red eyes, and accompanied by a disgusting smell.

A interesting result again with Google Imagen 3.0 with a sort of nonsense prompt I finally managed to massage to get some good images from:
Aloisius Birnstingl, the most unknown artist of the present day, is currently celebrating his belated admission to the Museum of Degenerate Art. A Surreal Fantasy Painting under the Influence of funny bone extract with ayahuasca,, oil paint on canvas, detailed strokes, psychedelic collage, cryptid taxidermy in Bogomils Universe, imperial colors
My prompt-pong friend Paulo Cunha had something to do with some lines in this prompt.
Commentary.
Spring snow in the Highlands.
South-West from Dores beach this image shows nearly the whole length of Loch Ness.
It certainly shows twenty of the twenty-five miles of its length
from Fort Augustus to Abban Water and Loch Dochfour.
The three-hundred and fifty-mile fault line of which it is a part,
extending from the north part of the Moray Firth to Ireland,
reaches a vertical height of over a mile, when adding the height of Ben Nevis to the depth of Loch Ness.
At Urquhart Bay the chasm created by tectonic movement and subsequent glaciers, reaches two miles in width.
In this view, Urquhart Bay, is seen on the right,
just below the snowy heights of Meall-Fhuar Mhonaidh, at 700 metres or 2,300 feet.
On this day it was no more than a giant mill-pond
but in misty conditions, as darkness descends,
its mood can become malevolent, sinister and un-nerving.
Whether prehistoric cryptids swim in its murky, peaty waters
or not, it can stir the blood and the imagination.
Today, peaceful and full of promise,
spring was here!

seed image is a unrelated semi-abstact old piece from Wombo, which I picked for the color only.
For the prompt and the title I took the clue from an old analog drawing of mine. But I expanded the prompt with a description of another painting from the eighties, which included all kinds of sea creatures as uniform decorations.
The first image in this series was created with Contemporary Surreal. Much later I duplicated it , text only, for a challenge.
I liked the idea so much, I ran several different versions in different modes, some with text only, some with a seed image. The results were largely very interesting, so eventually I made a special collection for it. Check it out here: creator.nightcafe.studio/collection/KjkvnAI1xX91rYwWggRr - from time to time I may add more.
PROMPT:
Portrait of Old Man General Peckerhead in Purgatory; golden helmet, uniform decorated with crustaceans, Alphonse Mucha, h.r.giger, cryptid taxidermy, Bogomil's Universe, imperial colors, surreal fantasy
Something that confuses a lot of people is how Rahab - the woman from Jericho - was a good person and part of Jesus's lineage, whereas Job, Isaiah, and the Psalms mention God "crushing Rahab," who is "the enemy" and "An evil serpent."
Well, they're not the same! Rahab, literally meaning "the Proud One," is also the name of a legendary demon in Ancient Israel's folklore. Rahab is a proud and arrogant sea dragon that lives in the Nile, and represents that body of water as well as Egypt as a whole. In poetry, it sometimes represents pride and proud people (as in Job), or Egypt (as in Isaiah and the Psalms). That's the confusion, between a defector to Israel and the Evil Spirit of the Nile.
Oddly, this toy - released by Demon's Chronicle - does not resemble any traditional descriptions of Rahab, instead looking exactly like a piece of 1500s artwork of the Sea Monk cryptid! Sea Monks were creatures spotted by sailors... and probably squids, but the idea was that even the ocean has priests and monks. See also The Bishop Fish, which is quite related. I might do a picture of this thing as the Sea Monk sometime.

Revisiting the 'Insane Asylum' I started early over a year ago. Slight adjustments to the prompt, adding Bogomil's Universe and Cryptid Taxidermy, plus my own name to the artists references.
Dreamwombo produces some nice crisp images that are easily enlarged (I go for 2.5 times i.e. 250%) in Windows Photo
PROMPT:
Planet Earth, Insane Asylum, Max Ernst, H.R. Giger, Zdzisław Beksiński, surrealism, psychedelic art, steampunk, mixed media, fantastical, entangled, futuristic, zombiecore, Imperial Colors, cryptid taxidermy in Bogomil's Universe by the Mystic Otto Rapp
A famous cryptid, the Jenny Haniver is created by mutilating a dried skate carcass and modifying it into a grotesque creature. THey come in many shapes and forms, and were probably originally just sold by sailors as folk art. Over time, they gained a reputation as fearsome sea-dwelling monsters.

"Chupacabra (also Chupacabras, from Spanish chupar: to suck, cabra: goat; goat sucker) is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities. The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Eyewitness sightings have been claimed as early as 1990 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail. Most biologists and wildlife management officials view the chupacabra as an urban legend."

Although it was probably an owl, the Flatwoods Monster has captured the imagination of cryptozoologists and UFO believers for decades!
The input image I selected was a gnarled tree branch I had photographed the other day. I was curious how something as different as this would combine with my rather zany prompt.
55% prompt weight and 15% noise
More crazy Chimeria creations in my collection:
creator.nightcafe.studio/collection/mvh1tb7CRn6KKqm9Ezqe
My 'spelling' is off (in retrospect I call it 'deliberate') but the proper name Chimera points to a mythological imaginary being. As an adjective it stands for delusion and mirage.
But would any AI creation be as crazy as actual myths like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snallygaster

The Saddle-billed Stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) is a large wading bird in the stork family, Ciconiidae. It is a widespread species which is a resident breeder in sub-Saharan Africa from Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya south to South Africa, and in The Gambia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire and Chad in west Africa.
This is a close relative of the widespread Asian Black-necked Stork, the only other member of the genus Ephippiorhynchus.
The Saddle-billed Stork breeds in marshes and other wetlands in tropical lowland. It builds a large, deep stick nest in a tree, laying one or two white eggs weighing about 146g each. It does not form breeding colonies, and is usually found alone or in pairs. The incubation period is 30-35 days, with another 70 - 100 days before the chicks fledge.
This is a huge bird that regularly attains a height of 150 cm (5 feet) and a 270cm (9 feet) wingspan. It is probably the tallest, if not the heaviest, of the storks. Females are distinctly smaller than the males. It is spectacularly plumaged. The head, neck, back, wings, and tail are iridescent black, with the rest of the body and the primary flight feathers being white. The massive bill is red with a black band and a yellow frontal shield (the “saddle”). The legs and feet are black with pink knees. Sexes are identically plumaged except that the female has a golden yellow iris, while the male's is brown. Juveniles are browner grey in plumage.
They are silent except for bill-clattering at the nest. Like most storks, these fly with the neck outstretched, not retracted like a heron; in flight, the large heavy bill is kept drooping somewhat below belly height, giving these birds a very unusual appearance to those who see them for the first time (see here for photo). To experienced birdwatchers on the other hand, this makes them easily recognizable even if seen from a distance. It has been suggested that due to the large size and unusual appearance in flight, this species is the basis for the "Big Bird" and Kongamato cryptids.
The Saddle-billed Stork, like most of its relatives, feeds mainly on fish, frogs and crabs, but also on young birds, and other land vertebrates. They move in a deliberate and stately manner as they hunt, in a similar way to the larger herons.
