Snow White wearing black metal outfit made of leather and studs. 7 male dwarves are behind her, much shorter than her, wearing black trench coats, with long black hair. There is a castle in the background and is is night.

Prompt: airbrush drawing, heavy metal style, of a pink Care Bear with a heart on its belly, pointing his sword high towards the sky and shouting, looking up at the dark sky, wearing a chainmail loincloth, on a mountain in hell, red flames in the background, highly detailed, symmetrical composition, dramatic lighting --ar 3:4 --stylize 75
On a side note, to whomever wins this challenge, I would love to see a reverse to this theme as well :)
You get the second place, along with the “Most original” mention. Congrats! The strong reference to Manowar made it happen :)
This makes me think of the VR game no more rainbows! It looks cool! Care bear gone berserk!
First thing I thought was “Manowar, Manowar, living on the road!” - Kings of Metal.
Raijin’s Wrath
Prompt: Pikachu in the style of a Black Metal cover artwork, looking very angry and evil, screaming, with sharp teeth, wrinkled skin, corpse paint and a double viking axe guitar. There’s a cryptic thorny black metal band logo above its head. In the background there’s a Transylvanian medieval castle, dead trees, a crescent moon and some crows. The whole picture is in greyscales only.
I tried to make a Pikachu too, but they all came out looking stuffed. I didn’t even think of making it like a comic book. Idky.
Good job
I really had difficulty to decide which picture I was going to upload here, I got many different results that were great. Here some others:
Tinkerbell and the Destroyers on the 2024 Bad Fingers World Tour
Fingers are hard :(
My prompt started with: tinkerbell death metal band
It ended with: the band should have a dark, gothic appearance with black and silver attire, possibly adorned with spikes and chains. Their wings can have a more jagged, bat-like appearance, and the makeup can be heavy with black eyeliner and dark lipstick. The background can be a dark forest with a mystical, eerie atmosphere.
This was the 2nd choice (and not an entry).
Yes, I saw it said heavy metal in the prompt, but the heavy metal fairies just didn’t cut it.
That it looks less like she is a lowly member of a group taking direction from someone offscreen to the left; and more that she herself is a boss. Just personal preference. I like powerful, confident people that are actively driving forward their own things.
Anne of Black Gables
copilot prompt
Anne of Green gables, as a goth. she standing before a large summoning circle, with a small bloody ornate dagger, attempting to summon a demon. behind her are altars covered with candles and occult memorabilia. her expression is wild and dangerous. very dark background. intense atmosphere.
I’ma be honest, the little I know of black metal fashion comes from Vegan Black Metal Chef, but as always, once I got an idea in my head I couldn’t let go of it.
I remember reading ‘Anne of Green Gables’—she was just a girl looking for peace, often misunderstood, much like her first encounter with Rachel Lynde. Anne wasn’t the villain; she was often the victim of harsh judgments. I’m glad they became friends in the end.
I don’t think I’ve ever read it, tbh… But growing up in Atlantic Canada, she is inescapable.
True, but it’s her home, and the criticism is unfounded. You might enjoy reading it someday.
It’s been 9 days since this challenge has started. I can understand if @Trollivier@sh.itjust.works is busy with daily life, but I just wanted to post the initial scores such as they are.
I’ll leave it up to Trollivier to fill in “OP’s Favorite”, “Most Original” and declare a winner.

PS: I don’t mind making this overview for the next challenge as well.
I made a python script and some SQL to generate this result which removes a lot of the tedium.
So this really, really helped! Thanks for othis intiative. Was in a rush this morning but was still able to give the prizes within a few minutes.
