Geese have been used as guardian animals for hundreds of years.
Therefore, Security Goose!
Niji prompt:
a cute goose wearing a security guard uniform and holding a flashlight, peering alertly around with narrowed eyes, the goose is on the lookout for intruders, night scene --ar 4:3 --niji 6
I wanted to make an anthropomorphic goose at first. But this one is just too cute in his little jacket, hat and… flashlight holder? Don’t think too hard about that last one please :)
A few extras:
Edit: apparently all the links to the discord images are broken, so I had to re-link them :(
I guess that’s on me for being so lazy :)
Would you mind sharing how you got that art style? It’s fantastic!!
I used Niji Journey, an anime trained version of Midjourney.
They recently released an alpha version 6, so it felt like a good excuse to use it for the challenge :)
Thank you!
if the last one was your entry, you would have my vote
Woa, déjà vu :)
I wasn’t very happy with the weird jacket in the back, but he’s definitely the cutest of the lot.
😁
it looks like a scene from a ghibli movie
Write this movie @Thelsim@kbin.social!
Wrong Thelsim! That’s not true, but it is only my backup account.
Anyway, hard at work on this movie, I already got the poster :)
Inspector Goose is on the case!
Congrats, you came 1st!
I loved how vibrant this piece was, and a goose would make the ultimate guard animal.
Now you have the responsibility for arranging next weeks contest!
Please accept this trophy
Thank you! I love the trophy, so distinguished!
I’m going to need a moment to think of a new challenge, I didn’t expect to win :)
