What always gets me is photographs of Americans on a holiday. They have, most certainly, the best holiday fashion spirit. Pink flower-shaped goggles, colorful Hawaiian t-shirt...
Once, I heard a story of Chinese just looking at these tourists. They never saw anything being clothed like that. And so I thought - Orcs like holidays too.
If you are an Orc, you probably don't need a break from all the battling and fighting and whatnot. But you can do that on holiday too. In a popular Mordor resort, you can swim in brewing lava, enjoy the radiation hobits left in the place after their use of mass destruction weapons, hate them for that, and much more!
It has been some time since I selected my online Orc identity. My previous profile photography was created with an older version of Stable Diffusion. Not bad at all, but with Midjourney 5.1 and my new Photoshop skills, it just feels WEAK!
There will be T-shirts or some other products with these two and I plan to create a lot more pieces with similar themes. It takes only a few simple steps:
1 - Run through Midjourney a simple prompt with two unrelated topics such as an Orc warlord with Hawaii holiday t-shirt and colorful flower-shaped glasses. This by itself may render the background relatively simple as the robot doesn't know how to connect the ideas.
2.0 - Use a quality-enhancing software such as Topaz AI Denoise ($60 only for life)
2.1 - Upscale, download, and open in Photoshop
3 - Click select -> subject -> create masking layer
4 - Now that background is gone, add stroke with gradient
Thanks to the CUTTING-edge technology, it takes mere 10 minutes to accomplish. Which one do you like more?
