Walking home at night after your day is over, carrying some last minute groceries for a quick dinner.
The streets are already deserted and the cool summer night’s air adds that special scent that makes you feel so at peace…

Prompt: A woman walking down a tree-lined boulevard along a canal, carrying a plastic white grocery bag, at a summer night, artificial lighting, peaceful atmosphere, shot on disposable camera --ar 3:2 --style raw

This is such a nice challenge, I love the idea.

You’re welcome and thank you as well :)

I wanted to go for a realistic touch because I can really relate with what you were describing. I love that Night Feeling.

I keep getting other ideas and inspiration for this one.

:::spoiler Some extra’s which don’t count but I still want to share.

I got reminded of the autumn elements in traditional Japanese poetry. The moon and reeds blowing in the wind are some of them.

Taking a shortcut through the forest at night. The snow crunching under your boots as your thoughts wander. The lights of your destination can be seen in the distance, but you still have some time left to yourself before you eventually arrive.

Arriving home with my newborn son. It was the first moment when it really sank in that I’m a parent and we have to take care of this tiny little thing.
It wasn’t a warm feeling but more of a fuuuuuck! What do we do? What do we do?! feeling. The enormity of the responsibility just overwhelmed me.
I somehow got through it and the post-natal care lady that visited a few hours later really helped with grounding the situation.

Anyway, it’s not a crazy situation for most of you. But for me it really felt like a “I can’t believe this is happening!” situation.

I love passion fruit! The inside looks like a bunch of alien eyes, but it tastes so good.
I just wish they had more filling

Prompt: Versus, close-up view of an astronaut, with a large insect-like alien in the background, hanging upside down on a ceiling, in a derelict space ship corridor, dark atmosphere, low angle --ar 4:3 --stylize 70

Upside down, inverted or other kinds of viewpoints are really hard to make! Anyway, here’s my attempt, it barely fits within the theme but I hope you’ll like it anyway :)

So for this I made use of the character reference and combined the images of Marcus Smelvy, from one of my older posts, with a normal Sailor Moon. The results were really good and combined aspects of both. All that was left was to create a scene that works well for this new Sailor Moon.

:::spoiler A few others that were made along the way:

Thanks! My problem is that I take the theme too literally :)
I really wanted to try and create a sailor moon that’s “just left of normal”. Anyway, I really like what I managed to create and I had fun in the process, and that’s what matters the most.

Yawn. If you pronounce it while sleepy, you actually yawn. And the yawn will sound like the word yawn.

Maybe I’m just sleepy, but I like the word :)

Not just in Italy. Pipo the clown is a very old Dutch children’s TV character.

I’m a bit too young to have watched it, but I still know the first lines of the theme song by heart. It’s that pervasive.

@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

You’re welcome! :)

@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s ok, you’ve earned your spot in the limelight :)
I’ll get my chance again in the future, so don’t worry about me.

thelsim,
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’d leave it up to the host to come up with a creative solution.
It’s all in good fun, I doubt anyone would feel offended if they lost in a tie.

thelsim,
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

Since thelsim got to choose the theme fairly recently, I’ll make an executive decision and grant next week’s theme to M0oP0o! Good luck, I hope you can choose better than I did 😜

That’s fine. I’d most likely would have done the same. @M0oP0o, enjoy hosting the next challenge. I’ll happily participate again :)
