Urban Youth: A Day in the City

• Model: DaVinci2

• Size: 1264 X 944 (1.19 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: A striking digital illustration featuring a stylized profile of young person kpop trio, depicted from the chest up, looking with different emotions expression. The head and upper body are formed by an intricate, sprawling cityscape, creating a surreal double exposure effect. The composition is dominated by the outline of the person's head and neck, with the interior filled entirely by urban architecture. The left side of the image is predominantly starry nighttime space, contrasting sharply with the detailed cityscape on the right. The person has all rendered with clean lines and subtle shading. The cityscape within the profile is a blend of towering modern skyscrapers in the upper and background areas, transitioning into densely packed, more rundown buildings and shanties in the midground and foreground. A street or alleyway winds through the lower part of the cityscape, populated by small, silhouetted figures walking. Trees and sparse vegetation are interspersed among the buildings, adding touches of muted green and yellow. Lighting is atmospheric; the sky above the skyscrapers in the upper right hints at a soft, almost ethereal glow, possibly from a setting or rising sun, casting a light blue and pale yellow hue. This glow subtly illuminates the upper parts of the city. The midground and foreground of the city are darker, with a general cool, desaturated tone, suggesting shadow or a grittier urban environment. Colors are primarily cool and desaturated: various shades of deep blue, teal, and grey dominate the buildings, with hints of rusty browns, muted greens, and pale yellows for vegetation and some structures. The background sky has touches of light blue and soft yellow. The person's facial features and hair are outlined in dark lines, with internal shading in light grey and white, creating a stark, almost graphic novel-like appearance. The style is a blend of graphic novel illustration and digital painting, with clean lines defining the human form and a more textured, detailed approach to the cityscape. There's a subtle watercolor or ink wash effect in some areas, particularly in the blending of colors and the edges of the form against the white background. The mood is contemplative, slightly melancholic, and thought-provoking, suggesting a deep connection between humanity and the urban environment, or perhaps the weight of city life on an individual. The juxtaposition of the human form with the city creates a sense of identity shaped by the environment. Important details include the distinct outline of the person, the detailed yet slightly abstract nature of the buildings, the small, almost indistinguishable figures walking among the structures, and the subtle color gradients in the sky. The overall image has a high level of detail within the urban elements, contrasting with the minimalist white background.

Urban Vibes: Woman, Dog, and City Life

• Model: AIVision

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Prompt by jexiq q: <<Masterpiece>>: Scene: Impasto, Glazing and Mixing Palette Knife Techniques: “Ginger in the City Dream” Foreground (Mixing Palette Knife + Impasto): At a sunlit tram stop in the city center — a ginger-haired girl stands barefoot. Her Converse sneakers dangle from one hand, the other buried in the pocket of a crinkly retro windbreaker, tangerine in color. Next to her, a graffiti-covered post reads: “Those who dream barefoot, go far.” The asphalt beneath her feet gleams as if glazed with glass — rendered in thick, restless impasto strokes. The sunlight hits low, casting deep purple shadows. From her bag peeks an old camera and two sprigs of lavender. Midground (Impasto + Glazing): The city street is caught in a half-motion freeze. People walk, but they’re paused — all staring into their phones, except for a dog that looks directly at her. The buildings lean toward her, as if the city itself is trying to listen. Windows are hung with washing machines instead of curtains, and color drips from the traffic lights. Everything is clear, yet surreal — like a dream you can touch. Background (Glazing + Blending): The sky is a blurred watercolor — like spilled acrylic someone tried to dab away with a tissue. Two moons hang overhead, one blue and one gold. A tram approaches, but it’s transparent — made of glass. Inside sits a little girl with the same ginger hair as the main figure, staring through the window — straight at her.

Alley of Shadows at Dusk

• Model: Artistic 2

• Size: 1152 X 896 (1.03 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Create an image of a young male figure in silhouette, standing on a rustic alleyway paved with stones, facing a golden sunrise. The alley is flanked by wooden structures with rough textures, and an assortment of laundry hanging on lines above. The laundry consists of various items like shirts, trousers, and towels predominantly in shades of white and blue. Steam or mist rises gently from the ground, suggesting early morning warmth. The sky is clear with soft clouds, and power lines are faintly visible against the radiant morning sky. On the left, a plastic crate and wicker baskets suggest domestic life, while on the right, more personal items and debris are scattered, indicating a lived-in environment. The sun's rays penetrate the scene, casting a serene glow and long shadows. The young man's clothing is casual, a simple dark t-shirt, and shorts, and he is in the act of hanging laundry with his arms raised, suggesting movement and daily routine.
