Yule: Pagan celebration of the winter solstice

Dall-E Prompt: A young woman secretly celebrates winter solctice festivities together with small forest animals: a squirrel, a marmot and a rabbit are sitting around a small spruce tree that is decorated with natural materials found in the woods: nuts, pears, mushrooms. It is a snowy fullmoon winter night, stars twinkle in the sky and snow is on the mossy ground. The image style is acrylic painting.

Going back to the pagan winter festival of Yule!

When people would decorate their dwellings with evergreens like holly, ivy, pine branches and mistletoe....and how the traditions of old have been absorbed into 'modern' day Christmas

Prompt-

3 pagan winter creatures, one made out of mistletoe, another made out of holly and ivy, and another made out of pine branches and pine needles, sat around a burning yule log, photo realistic style, ratio 16.9

(I did ask for 3 creatures and ended up with an extra one)

Santa Clause - The Master Ninja. You better watch out...

Prompt: "A ninja dressed in red with a big white beard sneaking out of a fireplace with a large sack at night. He is carrying a katana. There is a christmas tree in the room. A small child looks afraid and is peaking out from behind the tree. Photorealistic detailed textures"

Happy New Year!

Prompt: photograph of happy little kids holding sparklers at night during new year's eve, in a suburb with fireworks exploding in the background, panoramic view, 18mm, Disposable Camera --ar 4:3 --s 75

A memory of when I was little, we'd go out and light sparklers together before the "real" fireworks were set off at midnight. It felt so special to be out in the dark and getting to hold those sparklers.

The prompt was "Xmas dinner, Norman Rockwell painting style. The dinner is enjoyed by sentient Xmas ornaments, they are eating presents." And on the first try I got this happy accident:

80s kids waiting for santa on christmas eve. illustrated vintage, soft focus [Bing Images]

This looks like part of a larger illustrated christmas story book ... I want to read that book.

I was watching Muppet Christmas when I made this. I'm sure that news shocks everyone.

DALLE-3 Prompt: can you make an illustration of jesus as a baby dressed up as santa claus. He's handing out gifts to a colony of meerkats. the illustration is cartoonish, colorful, and festive

As a latino I wanted to see how DALLE combined "el niño Dios" and Santa :P

Inspired by the ABC Article "North Korea was floundering under sanctions. Now it's making billions from stolen cryptocurrency" I thought it would be nice to cast Santa and Kim Jong Un as friends. My biggest worry about this picture is that it portrays crypto in a positive light, that's probably not as light hearted as I intended.

Bing Dall-E. Prompt: "Santa Claus has a manic smile as he helps the Supreme Leader of North Korea count their bitcoin." Bing blacklists the words "Jim Jong Un" but this synonym seems to work.

"Wacky salamanders enjoy christmas day" using Bing ai image generator.

Happy holidays from the salamanders!

Looks like stable diffusion struggles with cheese, I tried a variant with a raclette which was even worse

Prompt Santa claus, in a swiss chalet, eats a fondue **Negative prompt **: low quality, extra fingers, extra limbs

Model Absolute realistic v20, using Gravity Diffus

Generated this on Artbreeder back in late October/early November. If that's too old to use, then I'll withdraw it. Source image was a random red and green picture with skulls and test tubes that I found on the site. I was rolling a lot of goth ladies at the time so I put some Christmas themed words into the prompt I'd been using in order to see what would happen. Prompt is below, and link will be provided if requested.

"Kentaro Miura, stanley artgerm, Yusuke Murata. christmas elf goth girl, albino, full body. epic, cinematic, intricate lace, stunning, mystical, gothic, goth,occult, mystic, hd, hq, cinematic, highly detailed digital art, very realistic, beautiful, fantasy, surreal, dream, many small details, concept art, illustration"
