sketches of Babylon (vi) the Ziggurat of Ur

• Model: FluX 2 (Ultra)

• Size: 3936 X 2096 (8.25 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: A vibrant watercolor painting depicts a ziggurat or pyramidal stepped temple with multiple levels and intricate architectural details. The structure is rendered in warm tones of orange, yellow, and brown, with accents of blue, green, and red on the facades and roofs. Each level features a flat terrace, some adorned with small green elements that could be hedges or gardens. Several staircases ascend the ziggurat, leading to different tiers and grand arched entrances on the upper levels. Small figures of people, dressed in colorful robes, are visible on various staircases and terraces, some appearing to be climbing and others gathered at the base. The ziggurat is reflected in a calm body of water in the foreground, creating a symmetrical and artistic mirroring effect. The reflections are slightly distorted, showing a grid-like pattern on the water's surface, possibly indicating ripples or architectural elements beneath the water. The sky, painted in soft washes of pale yellow, orange, and light blue, suggests an early morning or late afternoon light, with wispy clouds adding to the atmospheric quality. The overall impression is one of an ancient, majestic, and colorful building, possibly a depiction of the Tower of Babel or a similar Mesopotamian structure, rendered in a bright and inviting watercolor style.

sketches of babylon (iv) ishtar gate

• Model: Nano Banana Pro (Pro)

• Size: 2400 X 1552 (3.72 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Color illustration taken outdoors on a clear day of a tall, modern, brick gate made from two connected towers with a rounded arch in the center, and trees, ground, the sky in the background. The gate is made of bricks in tones of purplish brown, with a geometric crenelated pattern at the very top of each tower. Below the crenelated pattern is a thick, white horizontal band. Below that is a brown brick section with a white dot in the center of the tower. Another white horizontal band is below this. Then a rectangular section of brown bricks, with an intricate pattern of white animals (horses or dogs) and geometrical shapes. This pattern is repeated all the way to the bottom of the structure and on either side of the archway. The tall towers are connected by a horizontal, rectangular section that fills the gap between the two towers about two-thirds of the way to the top. The top of this connecting section is crenelated with a white band, and it has the pattern of animals, as well. At the center of the gate is a beautifully constructed rounded archway that is dark inside. The archway pattern consists of two layers of white dots against a brown background, with a white, pointed trim. The ground in the foreground looks like concrete or asphalt. Through the arch to the back are trees. There is a short fence in the foreground to the left. The sky is a beautiful blue with a light red or pink hue on the right side. The entire structure appears to be a replica or new construction, as indicated by the new-looking brick patterns, modern trees.

Mystical Steampunk Landscape of Serenity

• Model: AIVision

• Size: 1792 X 1008 (1.81 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Painting of a beauty Japanese woman, inspired by H.R. Giger’s biomechanical art. The image features a dark, surreal japanese landscape filled with twisted, gnarled trees, skeletal structures, and biomechanoid forms. The composition blends organic and architectural elements, evoking a sense of haunting otherworldliness. Shadows dominate the scene, with eerie, unnatural lighting that creates a sense of depth and mystery. The air feels thick with tension, as if the scene exists in a nightmare. The atmosphere is oppressive, and the woman’s face is partially obscured by alien-like, biomechanical features, adding to the eerie, unsettling quality. Dark, detailed, and suffused with the essence of the Necronomicon, evoking a feeling of ancient, forbidden knowledge. The overall tone is foreboding, a chilling fusion of the organic and the mechanical, as if the landscape itself is alive and watching.
