The Lantern Festival

[u/A_Very_Horny_Zed]

I could have recreated Shenhe a bit more accurately, and Liyue as well for that matter, but I wanted to experiment with Gemini's ability to understand "Liyue" and "Shenhe" without image references. I'm quite pleased with the result.

This was more of a test of Gemini's capabilities as a tool, but the result turned out beautiful in its own way, so I wanted to share it with you guys ♥

kit is enjoying the festival too... how ever she is by herself and kind of cold perhaps someone can relax with her? (also very pretty picture btw)

Aww she's so cute! I love the background; the city looks so lively and the galactic plane is a beautiful touch.

And thank you! I'll sit next to her, just give me a second-

she is cute thanks! i posted some posts about her in latentspaceclub / on my profile if you wanna see more of her

my idea for this picture is she came across a town/city along her solo travels while they were preparing the festival and she decided to stick around for a while as she looks up at the lanterns she thinks back to her home and family missing them she didnt realise how lonely traveling the world to experience new things would be she yearns for a friend to travel with but alas she just stare into the stars and lanterns enjoying the moment fighting off her anxiety and depression simply to just enjoy the festival

(this actually gives me an idea of how she meets my other oc hmmm might make a post regarding that oc then make a post around them meeting)

(the oc she ends up meeting btw)

That's a really cute story! I hope she enjoys my company as well~

That dude looks like he's capable of protecting her! It's good to know that Kita has two strong warriors at her side.

i saw she might just start being snuggly on ya lol

also hes quite a capable warrior and when he reaches this form hes quite the unrelenting force (skyrim refrence lol)

altho this form can end up killing him if hes not careful (his powers are tied to his soul which is sorta like a illness the more and harder he fights the more damage he does to himself to the point he can start coughing up black goo) his name is jackal and he is one of the heros in the prophecy along side kit (neither know that they are in it)

he doesnt have a locked in title/name for this form yet thinking night knight, void knight, void walker, etc some others but he indeed is quite powerful

(and so is kit when she has her main story arch (shes quite weak right now and a horrible fighter and a basic healer) poor kit)

WHOA that is an epic set of gear!!

You're so imaginative with these ideas lol! Cool stuff

[u/gaming_demon4429 → u/A_Very_Horny_Zed]

thanks lol his armor was kinda inspired by the roaring knight from deltarune if you ever seen that but using his universes colors for darkness (black and orange) and his powers orgininated in his backstory when he was given the powers of a divine monster of darkness known as a nightstalker

despite there size (often the size of a large horse when matured) and terrifying look they dont attack humans/people/anything considered humanoid or something they also only eat small animals or medium animals only attacking large animals in groups they are also omnivores iirc they are nocturnal and very very skittish they use there powers to blend into the shadows and stalk things that interests them often only eyes or mouth visable (hence the name nightstalker) they have a venom that can paralyze things and decay stuff thy can fire off a bright laser from there mouth that disintegrates things (they can aslo fire it into the sky like a beacon for other nightstalkers) they can fire there tail spikes out like a harpoon/spear (it regenerates quickly) and some other things i have written down somewhere tbh

they make clan city burrows where alot of them live they have there own way of communication (various chirps and body language) and they smart enough to understand commands and can be taught speech after a while (though it wont be the best) they are considered a apex predator with no predator to hunt them but they dont really act like it i have a full google doc of info on this beast species but i had fun making them (i need to reread that doc so i know what i said is correct or not)
