Prompt: A fantastical photo featuring a unique and whimsical hybrid creature. The creature has the head of a fluffy pomeranian, with bright, curious eyes and a playful expression. It has the powerful wings of an eagle, spread wide and ready to soar. The creature's tail is that of a sleek and agile cat, gracefully curling behind it. The overall atmosphere of the image is enchanting and surreal, with a hint of magical realism., photo (Ideogram)

That's how their teenage children look like before they grow legs and antlers.
I will not speak of the horrors I witnessed to generate this creature...

Category Points Prompt included 1 Total 1 Definitely one of the more unexpected combinations, and it turned out so well! I love his two little front legs.
StableDiffusionXL didn't want to create a hybrid in several tries. So... I went back to the drawing board and requested an image of a mouse and then used inpaint to replace the head with that of a cat.

The puppy is the powerhouse of the cell
I wanted something radically different, combining things we dont even think of as organisms. I struck upon the idea of having an animal be a cell organelle, and I just had to try. I think it turned out decently, although as an organelle you don't get the typical visual blending of the organisms, it's more of a conceptual blending.
copilot prompt
hyperrealistic image of an amoeba in a microscope with the face of a puppy
I love the idea and couldn't resist to try and make one as well, hope you don't mind :)
Oh nice, that turned out so well!
Had some other decent results too, but I loved the transparency of the cell in the one I picked in the end
Fidochondria - I like it.
Oh nice
I couldn't come up with anything good, but that's perfect

You got to (shared) 3rd place! Here's a Bronze Syringe trophy :)
Thank you, thank you 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙌
Prompt: Create an ultra-detailed dark, ominous, image of a steampunk inspired cat from Cheshire with the neck of a giraffe. In a dilapidated urban setting. Use Samyang/Rokinon Xeen 50mm T1.5
Had to use “cat from Cheshire” because “Cheshire Cat” wasn’t allowed in Dall-E lol
Points: 8
Category Points Prompt included 1 Total 1 I don't understand why Cheshire Cat is not allowed, since I'm sure the first illustrations should be in the public domain by now. It's not like you specifically asked for the Disney version. Anyway, this is still a good likeness.
Bull Shark
Prompt: movie still, of an animal that is a hybrid crossing between a shark and a bull, in the style of a cronenberg horror movie --ar 4:3My thought process was, which two animals would make a completely nonsensical combination? My first attempt trying out SD 3, I believe it's better at animal hybrids than humans sitting on a bench TBH.
Prompt: fantastical hybrid creature combining an elephant and a butterfly. The creature has the body of a small, rounded elephant with iridescent scales. Its head features a long trunk and large eyes, with vibrant butterfly wings extending from the sides. The legs are slender with intricate patterns, and the tail ends in colorful, feather-like appendages. Place this creature in a lush, green forest with colorful flowers and sunlight filtering through the trees, creating a magical and enchanting atmosphere. Photorealistic and cinematic
Model: SD 3
As proof that it's better at animal hybrids then humans sitting:
Tests
First 4 attempts at a hybrid. (Rodent with a cat's head inspired by one of the submissions here by @elvith@discuss.tchncs.de )
First 4 attempts at a man on a bench. (These are the most coherent humans the model has created for me so far 😅)
You can interpret these results however you want.
Points: 8
Category Points Prompt included 1 Total 1 That looks adorable, and definitely a better use for SD3 than humans sitting at a bench :)

What do you think it would take to make this vote tally thing automated by a bot? Like ideally one could set up the whole thing to tally, send a few direct messages around and fall back to defaults if there is no reply set within a given amount of time. I'm not criticising anyone here. From my perspective after hosting once, the whole tally and generation of the next challenge is a bit of a drag where automaton and routine would help improve participation IMO.
In the bingilator:
"A banana that is part Banana and also part banana that contains no money" one try since I meant to type "monkey" but this is better.
Points: 6
Category Points Prompt included 1 Total 1 So there's a banana, and more banana, and no money... And a pig?
I still don't understand, what is it you were trying to make here? Regardless of the prompt, in normal human language?I was trying to trick the bingilator into making something I did not expect. Also I was just told to pick up bananas if I had the chance.....
Makes me think of this
And you are completely correct for thinking this :)
You mean a badger, badger, badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom, snake?
Yes, but if I use that in my prompt I mostly get badger and not enough mushroom and snake :)
10/10 would pet
