Hello! How do you do, fellow AI enjoyers?
A new era of BOUNTIES featuring the ✦ Z-Cast is underway! The past 3 bounties have been great fun, but very 'general'; this bounty is part of a series, THE SPOTLIGHT SERIES, with each bounty (24 total!) featuring a specific character from my character library.
BUZZ is getting a little harder to come by nowadays, so let's all have some fun and earn a little chedda cheese along the way. The previous bounties were amazing and the winners were all top notch. Let's see what the new series can achieve!
The Spotlight Series allow and have prizes for both NSFW and SFW submissions - this bounty is for DIENAN U so head on over and get ahold of that Lora. Some characters have basic info listed here! Be sure to read up on prizes, scoring, and rules before you and your diffusion paint the next Mona Lisa.
Like the previous bounty, this bounty (and series as a whole) will be model blind and style blind. Meaning; you can use any model (Krea 2, Klein 9B, ZIT, etc.), and as long as it's clearly the ✦ Z-Cast character for this bounty made using the lora, any style or model is good. Real, painting, anime, 3D, polygon, fantasy, sci fi, caveman-style (idk) - anything goes.
PRIZES
NSFW and SFW will have the same prize structure:
1st Place: 500
2nd Place: 250
3rd Place: 100
Honorable Mentions (discretionary): 25
SCORING
Scoring is really simple; I'll pick what I like! BUT! I will offer extra consideration to submissions with a good number of reactions. Some guidelines:
NSFW: I am not a fan Furry stuff, Futa stuff, or Yaoi - that said, none of these are against the rules and such submissions will be considered, albeit at a much lower chance of winning. Other than that, go wild. No need to treat my characters with any respect ;)
SFW: SFW submissions are pretty open range. Images with a good style, theme, concept, or composition will likely have an edge over the competition. Go wild and have fun, costumes, fantasy, sci fi, uniforms - just go for it. As long as the character stays physically similar to their Lora you're good to go!
[Wait, Zyssym, what is considered NSFW vs. SFW?]
Great question! That is up to me ultimately, but I would consider NSFW submissions to have nudity, sexual content, or mature themes. If CivitAI thinks it's X or XXX rated, chances are it's NSFW.
Contest Rules:
Image must use the correct character lora: DIENAN U.
Images can contain multiple characters/subjects, but the Original Character Lora must be the main subject of the shot.
Videos (previously not allowed) are permitted.
Images must contain metadata.
1 image per entry; 20 entries per hunter. (this makes it much easier for me to sort through so please follow this one)
Each hunter can win one prize per category; one for NSFW, and one for SFW No limit to number of 'Honorable Mention' wins.
Styles are free range. Currently on a realistic binge, but anything goes.
Characters can have variable outfits and hairstyles (within reason), but significant body alterations (breast size, weight, muscularity) will disqualify the image from consideration.
A special caveat; if you have a complex workflow on ComfyUI or use extensive img2img/inpainting, your metadata may be messed up. That's okay, as long as the character looks like they're supposed to, I'm open to it.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/CREATOR NOTES:
The Spotlight Series will Bounty take place on a staggered release; there will batches released with staggered finishing dates.
I've been having a lot of fun creating and sharing my (limited) content with this community! I hope everyone who participates has FUN (most important part!) and wish everyone good luck in the contest.
