A string of really crazy prompts by fellow Nightcafe user who goes by just RPM got me started on a whole series of pieces that chanel the art of Bosch and Dali, plus several other surrealists.

Here is a piece where I used a prompt by Paulo

BOSCH and DALI
where I used the (tapeworm of) prompts by RPM
A quote about Hieronymus Bosch
“Whereas painters of the early and middle 1400s enriched their own (and their countrymen's) understanding of the Gospel by recreating it in reality, their successors used this technique to study (and broaden) their entire world view. Hieronymus Bosch mastered a whole genre by merging the realism of Flemish painting with fantastic allegories of the human condition. His pictures of vermin and birds in men's clothing, atrocities, and weirdly juxtaposed objects use the realism of the earlier masters as a means of stark caricature. It was in this form, the most extreme possible, that character and moral differentiation were introduced into the realm of realistic depiction.”― Roy Wagner, The Invention of Culture

At that time I made this, some didn't turn out right, so I adapted the prompt several times, until I finally arrived - I used a combination of the imported promp and one that I had used some months before.
Adapted Prompt:

this was done with text only, using the 'Dreamshaper XL Lightning' mode

To soothe the soul of those who had freaked out over this - and in case they did scroll this far, here is a image I created with a newly discovered 'Lora' called 'Photo Nouveau Fusion' - it is so far also unpublished (so you see it here first) - a test, but I might work with this mode in future. Not all my stuff is surreal and monsters.
