The seed image for this is an old painting of mine from 1975. I like the way the various SDXL modes interpret it. Some directly from the seed, others duplicated or evolved from results, with slight variations in noise.

 

The prompt is my often used 'generic' standby, describing my painting style.

A mysterious alien creature that was probably an owl.

The Pope Lick Monster is a legendary half-man, half-goat creature reported to live beneath a railroad trestle bridge over Pope Lick Creek in Louisville, KY. Is he an escaped circus freak or the product of an ill fated union between a local farmer and his goats? No one can be sure. Some rumors blame him for a train derailment. Some claim he frightens travelers into leaping from the trestle to their deaths, while others say he holds them down on the tracks himself ala’ Snidely Whiplash. Travelers beware! He lurks in wait……

 

I created this Pope Lick Monster for the “cryptid” prompt for Mab’s Drawloween Club 2018.

“Faeries are nice beings, they grant wishes. Right?” – Unknown

 

While some certainly do nice things and some may even grant wishes; others still play harmless pranks to fool the mortals they encounter.

 

To most the fae are mischievous tricksters on the surface and no true threat. However the fae hierarchy stretches and grows like the roots of the oldest trees in the forest and for every bit of light and shimmer as branches raise high in the sky; there is dark and shadow as roots dig deep into the earth.

 

The Duskfall Court is the seat of shadow and where pranks are rarely harmless. Those who abide by its laws find themselves watched over by the nobility of the court.

 

Those who tread these woods best watch out because the woods watch back and will not hesitate to ensnare the unwary.

This build was inspired by medieval cryptids known as “wild men” or “woodwose,” which were very hairy humanoids who lived in the forest and shunned human society.

 

According to legend, hunters would attempt to capture these wild men by luring them with alcohol, getting them drunk, tying them up, and then trying to extract whatever secret knowledge the wild men might posses.

 

“It once happened in that country (and this seems indeed strange) that a living creature was caught in the forest as to which no one could say definitely whether it was a man or some other animal; for no one could get a word from it or be sure that it understood human speech. It had the human shape, however, in every detail, both as to hands and face and feet; but the entire body was covered with hair as the beasts are”

 

-Excerpt from Konungs skuggsjá c. 1250

  

This is my entry for the 12x12 vignette category of the Summer Joust 2024

Shadow baskers are fond of warm dark places and are rarely ever seen, but when they have been spotted they were basking in the shadows.

Although it hasn't been proven to be a connection, missing pets are often attributed to this legendary creature.

A good way to get rid of them is to turn the lights on.;)
