Trying to find which "creature" to pick, and I though of the time I visited Iceland in 2013. We took a bus tour and the tour guide explained that local folklore spoke of the tales of elves living hidden in the mountains, and that a great part of the population actually thought they existed, her included, in a fun way, like she would like them to exist.
So I thought that maybe she was one of the mountain elves living among us, but hidden in plain sight, as a tour guide.
Prompt : a photorealistic render of a female folkloric Icelandic elf driving a tourist tour bus, and announcing what to look out for. We see an Icelandic landscape through the window. She is wearing a bus driver hat and is speaking to passengers with a big smile.

Nah, that’s fine. I wanted to write out the workflow anyway.
I wasn’t sure why you put in the URLs, so I figured I’d add some context. And yes, in typical me fashion, I tend to go overboard once I get into something :)
Oh and Centibus is a much better name, I love it.

Yes, those were the input images I've used.
So what I did was first I created this drawing of the centipede bus, using the codex seraphinianus prompt:
Next I used that as input, together with a style reference from one of my earlier posts, the snail knight, because I wanted to create something in the same mood:
That ended up with an in-between kind of image that I reused as extra input to steer it further away from the drawn aspect of the original image:

The original is one of the prompt urls.

No, not really. You can feature the new challenge when you see it coming up, maybe deal with reports if they come up, but that’s about it.
It’s quite relaxed.

Oh I love raspberries as well, it’s just that mangoes are more chewy when frozen.
Raspberries tend to be very hard and not as nice to bite down on when they’re straight from the freezer. But the flavor is great, no argument here :)
# **VOTING HAS STARTED** You can now vote for this week's challenge! * Voting will be open for at least 24 hours. * Whichever entry gets the most votes, wins! * OP will cast deciding vote in case of tie * Voting will end when OP declares a winner. ---------------- # Patriotic Pumpkin Party ## Prompt *A Halloween pumpkin with a horrified face that serves as a poutine bowl. Melting cheese curds are coming out of its mouth, there are French fries coming out of the hole on top. Brown gravy sauce is pouring out of its eyes, nose and makes a puddle of sauce.* ## Theme It's october and Halloween is coming soon. I know Halloween is not celebrated everywhere in the world, and that's the reason I wanted to make this challenge. **The goal of the challenge is to have a carved Halloween pumkin that represents your country, state, province or city**. As I live in Quebec, I made sure my Halloween pumpkin had something to do with Poutine, one meal that Quebec is known for. Please in your answer, post what country / territory / city your pumpkin represents. The carvings could show a flag, your national animal, or whatever you think represents where you live. ## Voting process This challenge will follow a slightly different format. Everyone can submit their image to this post. At the end of the week all images will be collected and shared in a new voting post wherein people can vote on their favorite image. This will be up for at least 24 hours before a winner is made. There are no extra points to be earned, OP will decide on a winner in case of a tie. I hope this format will give everyone the opportunity to take their time and have an equal chance at earning votes. It can be a one-off if this turns out to be too time consuming or impractical. ## Rules - Follow the community’s rules above all else - One comment and image per user - Embed image directly in the post (no external link) - Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged but not required (we’re all here for fun and learning) - OP will declare winner in case of a tie - The challenge runs for at least 7 days from now on - Down votes will not be counted - Voting and final scoring will be done in a separate post. ## Scores At the end of the challenge the image with the most votes, wins!

As we discussed elsewhere. I figured it would be good to bring one more mod into the community, preferably somewhere in the American time zones. I'm usually pretty active but if there's one thing I learned it's that you should never make yourself indispensable. The other mods in the list haven't been active here for some time, though M0oP0o indicated he'll be back in a month or so. Basically what I'm looking for is someone who is active in this community, likes to help along with the challenges when necessary, and can react to the occasional report. Experience is not a requirement, this is a relaxed community and it doesn't require a lot of your time. So, let me know if you're interested below. I'll consider anyone who has a solid history of posting in this community.
Not exactly how I wanted it to turn out, but good enough I guess..
Family summer vacations, at least my dad had a good time :) Not pictured: my mom and little brother lagging even further behind.
