December, that strange month.. (re~re~re)

• Model: Artistic 2

• Size: 1280 X 720 (0.92 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Bewilderment of bright shadows - black as a verse, red as a statue of Karel Hynek Mácha, which -wonder of the world- even in this December cold sings (with all shrubs around) to the whole Petřín: "It's here again, winter is here, people are going crazy (Oh, they're going crazy) Kissing each other as if all lives depended on it (Each other) We know this, here we have got again December, that strange month.. Long live Petřín!" No, it's not sci-fi, nor Vogue, nor a wolfdog, nor a terrier nor a furious bull, nor White Saturday.. This is just one 'White+' +♫D.

Rebellion

• Model: AIVision

• Size: 2688 X 1512 (4.06 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: An elegant, unfinished oil sketch capturing a moment of Gothic tranquility in an urban park. The central figure is a woman with long, dark reddish-brown hair, gracefully seated on an old wooden bench. She wears a flowing black Gothic dress. In her lap rests a large, fluffy cat, its eyes fixed on the observer with an almost human intensity. The cat wears a peculiar collar adorned with metal spikes. The woman and the cat are depicted with finished details. The surrounding elements—the park bench, the cobblestone path, the distant trees, and the faint outlines of the urban background—are intentionally left in a deliberate state of sophisticated incompleteness. They are represented with loose, expressive brushstrokes and visible underlying designs that blend into the raw texture of the canvas, sketchy outlines of what is to come. The lighting is dramatic and melancholic, employing a selective focus technique and suggestive details to highlight the intensity of the cat's gaze and the indifference of the woman looking away. This work draws inspiration from the dynamic lines and elegance of Giovanni Boldini, the mastery of light and texture in Anders Zorn's sketches, and the intimate, observational composition of Edgar Degas
