It’s my turn to set the Community Challenge for this week…

Theme

This week we’re doing theme via creative constraint. Make whatever you want, you just can’t use characters. More specifically, no characters, named or unnamed, from any stories, songs, games, etc. That includes mash ups.

You can definitely still have people, you can still use tropes, and even create your own totally original characters. Just no reusing existing characters, or obvious derivatives

Rules

  1. Follow the community’s rules above all else

  2. One comment and image per user

  3. Embed image directly in the post (no external link)

  4. Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun)

  5. At the end of the week each post will be scored according to the following grid

    Prize Points
    Most upvoted +3 points
    Second most upvoted +1 point
    Theme is clear +1 point
    OP’s favorite (me, this week) +1 point
    Most original +1 point
    Last entry (to compensate for less time to vote) +1 point
    Prompt and workflow included +1 point
  6. Posts that are ex aequo (tied) will both get the points

  7. Winner gets to pick next theme! Good luck everyone and have fun!

    For a moment I was afraid I had to think of a prompt using only emoji’s, then I realized you meant the other kind of characters :)
    Just for clarity, could you give some examples of what is and isn’t allowed for this challenge?
    Like, can you still use a prompt using “a person who…” or are we more talking landscape and object images?
