[Community Challenge 37] The Up Side Down

The Up Side Down

I want to see the most impressive images of an upside down reality. From objects, to landscapes, or anything in between, what kinds of inceptions can you create.

::: spoiler extra credit I've been trying to create an O'Neill Cylinder space habitat interior for a week now. Major kudos if you can can defy gravity with one of these. If you don't know what an O'Neill cylinder is, watch this 3min render: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2d_0l5ycRM or here is the wiki :::

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

  Tied for first. Thanks for participating! (1/8)
  Edit: big dummy forgot one point. The heck if I know how 1st ties get handled. Deathrace is my rule. first to post a #38 wins the opportunity - my rule... on the fly.
- ::: 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
- I like the vampire one. Looks like he is trying to steal blood from the patient who is unconscious.
- :::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!
  
  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

  Tied for Fourth place with 3 others but the first to post. Thanks for participating! (4/8)

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 :)

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.

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.
