An upvote for whoever can give me a prompt to generate an image of someone who's been massaged so much their body has been flattened, as if they were made of dough or jelly or something.

I spent ages on this earlier getting nowhere. I'm starting to think DALL-E is better if you don't really know what you want and you're just fishing for ideas.



Ok you owe me $3! This is a really hard prompt, and only got close-ish with inpainting. Got the base figure with "massaged relaxed flattened person, flat, flat, flat, flat, claymation", then finally got it to add a not-too-terrifying face with "photograph of smiling white woman laying on the ground, promotional photography". Final tweaks to erase some artifacts (it really didn't want to believe the figure on the left was the referenced woman) was "photograph of a wooden floor with a white mat and small plants, overhead shot".

DALLE is hard! Curious to see if I can be beat.

Ha ha that's much closer than I got, well done! Yeah it's difficult. I didn't think of flat, flat, flat.


What are the results when you describe "a person without bones receiving a massage"?


> an image of someone who's been massaged so much their body has been flattened, as if they were made of dough or jelly

do you want a realistic looking one? 3d rendered? what do you have in mind exactly?


Anything really. I tried cartoons, digital art, watercolours, pixar style. None worked.


also what is the PCs budget?


I didn't know that I needed this.
