A friend of mine has been running a *staggeringly* ambitious Amber game for the past several years. Scheduling is a bear, so we've gotten in about 40 sessions in that time, and it has been fantastic, revitalizing and expanding my appreciation for Amber.

Enid, the surprising and eccentric owner of the brilliant Sound Records in Stroud, UK, has an encyclopaedic knowledge of jazz, soul, funk, ocean fish and wool.

Moonwatcher of the Ledge 🌙 Every midnight, the old stone ledge hums with a secret only one black cat can hear. She waits for the moon to answer, and tonight, amber light stirs in the mist. #synthart #caturday
A fluffy black cat, seen from behind, sits upright on a weathered stone ledge with its head tilted up in profile toward a glowing moon in the upper right. Its whiskers catch the pale light, its tail curls down over the stone, and warm amber light traces the edges of its dense fur. Beyond the ledge, misty hills fade layer by layer into a vast indigo night sky. The wide, horizontal watercolor and ink illustration has delicate linework, translucent washes in deep blue and silver, and small glowing amber accents. The mood is calm, dreamy and quietly mysterious.

Keywords: 
black cat, moonlit night, stone ledge, amber rim light, watercolor, ink illustration, sumi-e, ultrawide, misty hills, serene mood

Why did we stop using airships? Was it just because they’re Nazi-coded and had a nasty tendency to blow up?

#aiart #promptshare #aiartcommunity #midjourney QP Loneliness?
Muted portrait photography. A frail, hunched 83 year old man sits alone at the far end of a long party table. Cold directional light from a grey bay window. A crumpled red paper crown sits askew on his head. Thin silver hair, thick rimmed glasses slipping down his nose, eyes showing quiet sadness, old tweed suit. Before him: untouched cake, cold paper cup of tea, an empty chair with an unworn party hat. Behind him, a mahogany framed portrait of his smiling wife from forty years ago. Soft focus background: guests laugh, scroll phones, play cards backs turned; children dart past. Sagging streamers, drifting balloons, floral wallpaper. Sharp foreground, warm blurred background. His wrinkled hands rest near the empty chair, an unlit candle between his fingers. --ar 4:3 --profile 567npa9 --stylize 250 --hd --v 8.2

#aiart #promptshare Title: The First Spark Style: Macro photography with a subtle tilt-shift miniature illusion; ultra-shallow depth of field, razor detail at the focal plane Prompt in ALT
An extreme macro photograph: perched atop the charred head of a wooden kitchen match stands a tiny goddess of sparks, arms raised, her body a plume of blue-and-gold flame no taller than a grain of rice. Microscopic ember beads orbit her like jewels; the world beyond dissolves into darkness.
Title: The First Spark
Style: Macro photography with a subtle tilt-shift miniature illusion; ultra-shallow depth of field, razor detail at the focal plane
Composition: Extreme close-up; the match head occupies the lower-left third, the spark-goddess rising into the upper right, surrounded by vast negative black space
Lighting: The match flame as the sole light source—warm amber glow grazing the wood grain, cool blue at the flame's base fading into absolute darkness
Adjectives: miniature, mysterious, intricate, glimmering, improbable

#aiart #promptshare #aiartcommunity #midjourney QP The patchwork professor
A grotesque elderly male head floats above aged, yellowed parchment. The bald, oversized skull has deeply wrinkled, leathery skin, stitched repairs, and long metal nails protruding at irregular angles. Sparse wiry hairs emerge between the seams. Oversized round spectacles frame two mismatched eyes: a drooping, clouded left eye and a shattered right lens with a dark central hole. A flattened nose sits above a mouth tightly sewn shut with thick crossed stitches. A wild white beard tangles beneath the jaw, streaked with reddish stains and threaded with tiny bones, metal fasteners, and a pointed braid. Prominent ears, stitched cheek patches, and dense black crosshatching accentuate the damaged skin. Intricate black ink, muted sepia-brown washes, fine anatomical linework, stained and cracked parchment, uneven darkened edges, antique medical manuscript illustration. --ar 3:4 --profile 88ehikn a1o2ypq --hd --v 8.2

#aiart #promptshare Title: KRAKOOM! Style: Pop Art / Roy Lichtenstein-inspired comic illustration with vintage halftone printing aesthetic Prompt in ALT
A comic-book dragon explosively bursts through a torn halftone-print panel, jaws agape mid-roar, its green scales shaded entirely in red-and-yellow Ben-Day dots. Thick black contour lines define every scale and claw, jagged "action lines" radiate from the point of impact, and a jagged speech bubble blares "KRAKOOM!!" in chunky retro lettering.
Style: Pop Art / Roy Lichtenstein-inspired comic illustration with vintage halftone printing aesthetic
Composition: Explosive diagonal burst from lower-left to upper-right; torn paper edges of the panel framing the dragon; flat, graphic arrangement with no atmospheric depth — everything is punchy foreground
Lighting: Flat, shadowless graphic lighting with hard-edged single-tone cel shadows; color exists as pure saturated block, not atmosphere
Adjectives: electric, playful, bold, punchy, iconic

Day 590, random old school TTRPG art from random book: “The Complete Paladin’s Handbook”, TSR 1994, Mark Nelson, page 82. #ttrpg #tabletoprpg #d&d #dnd #osr #ad&d #fantasyart #art #ttrpgcommunity #dndart #osrart
A fully armored paladin is carries his lance while on the back of his rearing warhorse.  Suck it evil, awesome is coming for your ass!
This is unsigned, and it is difficult to tell if this is Ken Frank or Mark Nelson.  Since Ken Frank usually signed his work I’m going with Nelson.

Slaughtering Refugees in the Channel in cold blood is monstrous and right out of Trump’s playbook but it also demonstrates the desperation within Reform’s ranks to deflect from their many problems. Long may that desperation continue. Monsters have no place in public office.

I'm sure the Kremlin was delighted we voted to leave the EU, but I also think it's passing the buck to blame it on Russian interference. Russia's role in Brexit was tiny compared to that of unscrupulous hedgies, ambitious politicians and decades of lies from right wing newspapers.
