I have no idea what OP is asking, so here is the prompt:

::: spoiler Nice job. Thanks for posting. Basic examples to guide anyone struggling with the abstractness and unconstrained artistic freedom:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=upside+down+inception&iax=images&ia=images

By no means are you restricted to such images as these. It could mean anything you chose. You have absolute artistic freedom that is unconstrained. This is about art and creativity, not just novelty. Heck, you can even abstract my abstraction and call "Down Under" upside down and go Aussie. My point is that there are absolutely no limits, just that the theme must convey "The Up Side Down" in whatever way you imagine.

This is also an opportunity to show off skills with LoRA's and such. In the last challenge several entries showed a desire to explore the edges of complexity and possibilities. I hope this challenge pushes those buttons and scratches that itch.

It took me a long time to actually come up with a decent submission. I wasn't super clear what the theme is, and then once I came up with ideas I had a hard time actually generating what I wanted lol.

Here I was going for both the literal "upside down" aspect, and also Stranger Things "upside down" vibes.

I was really hoping that I could get the dude in the reflection to be removed or be different, but I couldn't seem to get both that and everything else I wanted in the same image

MS copilot designer prompta man in a hazmat suit falls through a puddle into a spooky alternate reality. in contrast, the reflection in the puddle shows a cheerful metropolis. the man is still falling through the air. the scene is very surreal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

here are some other ideas I had

City built on the interior surface of a hollow earth. It would just NOT make the city upside down without anything below it but a glowing ball.

And a bit more figurative interpretation of theme: a world in where vampires donate blood instead of suck blood, but I couldn't ever make it clear that's what the vampire was doing

Also a stepford suburb where the townspeople were super serious about having you drink your milk. Idky but this was the first thing I thought of, but in the end I thought this was too far from the prompt

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I like the vampire one. Looks like he is trying to steal blood from the patient who is unconscious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Thanks!

He was supposed to be giving blood to the patient, but you're right that's what it looks like (which is why I didn't use it 😭)

[–] j4k3 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

:::spoiler Nice one. I found this difficult too, but also very interestingly educational about what and how a model understands what it is trained on. It is one thing for a model to know what something looks like, but another thing entirely to understand it in altered context. Some models are better or worse at this kind of comprehension. Part of why I made this challenge was to see if I'm really missing any major models that are much more capable than any I have used, or perhaps other techniques I have not explored. Anyways, thanks for posting! Great image!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah I'm not advanced enough with this lol. I just use either copilot, or wombo dream (it can make some nice fantastical landscapes, but it's terrible at people). My familiarity with the different tools is really poor, I mean heavily on just being creative with my prompts and giving up on ideas that don't work out lol

Prompt: Versus, close-up view of an astronaut, with a large insect-like alien in the background, hanging upside down on a ceiling, in a derelict space ship corridor, dark atmosphere, low angle --ar 4:3 --stylize 70

Upside down, inverted or other kinds of viewpoints are really hard to make! Anyway, here's my attempt, it barely fits within the theme but I hope you'll like it anyway :)

A mirage from the past that never was.

I just finished the second audio book from The Sandman today and the last story in there was "Ramadan", which inspired me to create this entry.

Prompt and workflow

This image was created in two steps with SDXL in Fooocus. First step was a 21:11 (1344×704) image with the following prompt to get the mirage in the sky. I then flipped the image upside down and used outpaint on the bottom with a modified prompt

Ah, some VR game. Thanks!
But there is a film with a similiar scene, what was it again?

M.C. Escher's Shopping Mall

It's really hard to get something upside down from the AI generator. I went for Escher's stairs and wanted to place them inside a shopping mall. As a workaround I could get the stairs inverted and added a polished floor as a mirror. Still not very convinced by the results, here's the best one I could get after several iterations.

Prompt: a scenic view inside a shopping mall with a black shiny floor that's polished like a mirror. There are several inverted stairs in a confusing upside-down architecture, similar to an image by M.C. Escher. Some people walk upside down on the underside of the stairs.
