Getting closer. This is Stable Diffusion. This is Bing It would be nice if I could say "Using this image as base, make these changes..."

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get Midjourney to create a picture for me of a person in stormtrooper armor jousting on a horse and not getting much success. Any Midjourney experts out there who can do better? Or, can introduce me to a good way to do this in Stable Diffusion? I started out with this: a star wars stormtrooper jousting on a horse Didn't get what I want. I used ChatGPT to try to help, but ended with something I think was way too much. Picture a medieval jousting tournament where two skilled contenders prepare for a clash of lances and honor. In the left corner of the bustling tournament grounds stands a figure bedecked in the authentic stormtrooper armor seen in Star Wars Episode 4 (A New Hope). This unique twist adds a touch of sci-fi to the historical scene. Mounted upon a powerful black horse, the stormtrooper-clad rider brandishes a jet-black lance, poised for action. Their opponent, on the right, epitomizes the gallant knights of yore. Outfitted in traditional chainmail and armed with a shield, they proudly display an orange tabard, symbolizing their noble house. Atop a majestic white steed, the knight exudes a sense of chivalry. The pictures came out like this (best) But most were just plain wrong like this: Stable Diffusion is getting a bit better on the first go Will keep playing with it, but I'd love to see how others solve this and what they come up with. Points for cool images as well.

Back in the day when it was just LFL, the "agreement" was that LFL would say nothing so long as we didn't make any profit off of his IP. That is why we can not take any money from trooping, and in theory all armor/props must be sold at cost.

That is what this forum is all about Dale, and I'm glad you had a good experience. Do you know why I created this forum? It was because back in 2005 when I joined there was *no* transparency at all. There was no forum, no Facebook, and certainly *noone* talked openly about armor. When you were new the answer was "I know a guy" or you took your risks on Ebay, paying ~$1500 for FX armor (which is how I started). Only when you got in did you get access to the Legion Yahoo group, or your local garrison, who would give you more information. "Is that armor recast?" "Hey man, why are you asking so many questions!" was the answer. Having even this page where anyone could read it was novel and we got a lot of pushback about doing so. Thankfully I was new to the Legion and just kept pushing forward, and was surrounded by a core team of like minded people. Yes, this type of transparency is now normal and expected, but at one point it would have been considered heretical.

Also, note that these are all for fun. I hope no one who sees these will misunderstand or get their nose out of joint.

Sweet. We should put that on a coffee cup ;-)

Amen!

How would they know?

Right with you on nomex. I use the rubber gloves only for serious troops where I need all the accuracy I can get. Otherwise, it's comfort time.

Sweet! We want pix

Well, we didn't have a merch section back then. The forums were a lot smaller.

The photo is dated *2007*. The link you provided was our second run. Can you believe they were $15 shipped? The good old days!

Does anyone remember the first FISD shirt run? Does anyone still have one? I still have one of the original hoodies...but miss these basic shirt designs.

I had a brown box in a closet for a long time. Just visualize what you want it to look like when done and dive in. The best part is that everyone makes mistakes on the first go. Don't worry about trying to get perfect, just keep moving it forward.

Maybe adding some links to your EI/Centurion & build threads / photos may help illustrate that point ;-)

Why is Empire Strikes Back considered one of, if not the best, Star Wars film? "I felt I needed humor in the picture, and yet I couldn't have gags. I felt I needed a love story, and yet I couldn't have a lot of smooching and kissing and all that stuff. And it had to be implied". -- Irvin Kershner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVlXXwCIUiQ

Amaury Guichon has sculpted some pretty amazing artwork out of chocolate, which you may have seen on School of Chocolate, or else his YouTube channel. He's now made a stormtrooper helmet in chocolate. While maybe not screen accurate, it's pretty good considering it's 100% chocolate. Short at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Woj7pR9k-2Q

RIP Dan, and bucket's off. It's shocking that someone can be such a voice and then be silenced so unexpectedly. My condolences to his family. Truly a sad day for our community.

I hope everyone is able to find time and a way to celebrate today, Star Wars day, May the 4th. I'm a big fan of David Petersen's Mouse Guard series, and today he posted on Twitter some really cool artwork that is SW related, using mice of course! If you haven't read his books, I highly encourage you to check them out. If you have read his books, these are a joyful way to enjoy two fandoms together. Cheers, Paul

That's awesome! I was able to watch ANH in the theater a few years ago and you are right that it's a completely different experience than watching at home. You are so in to enjoying the movie you don't notice any small flubs, etc. Glad you had a great time.

Welcome to FISD. Remember, us old guys like pics!

Hello UKG. I and my daughter in London this week and while I didn't bring armor, I did bring my FISD shirt and the FISD flag and some swag. I realize it's a working week, however if anyone has an opening in their schedule it may be fun to meet up for a coffee or bite if the stars align. We are staying in Sydenham though are going into the city daily. Our tentative schedule looks something like (it's a little fluid) Sunday the 16th - Tourist day, see Trafalgar Square -> Piccadilly Circus and likely King's Cross for the obligatory Platform 9 3/4 photo op Monday the 17th - Canary Wharf tube stop (501st obligatory photo) - Tower of London tour - St. Mary Aldermary visit - St. Paul’s Cathedral visit Tuesday the 18th - British Museum - Masonic Grand Lodge (photo op, maybe tour if possible) - Maybe some shopping at Tottenham Court Road & Oxford Street Wednesday the 19th - Fan Wars / Star Wars Exhibition (11:30am ticket time) - Kew Gardens in the afternoon Thursday the 20th - See Hamilton Musical (2pm show time), free after Friday the 21st - Open day My email is [email protected]

Awesome work gentleman. It may have started as an April Fool's Joke, but somehow I think someday someone will make this real, even if it's just a con costume.

Link to order?

I just can't beat that.
