Dwarfs


No, this is not a cute dwarf. This dwarf is a warrior, the kind of warrior you might know from Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". He might even be a dwarf king because he is sitting on a throne. 
Here in Germany we are used to see cute garden gnomes when we think of "dwarfs" - cute gnomes with happy faces holding gardening tools. Obviously AI Art generators interprete "dwarfs" differently...

This image was created on Nightcafe Studio with SDXL 1.0, the latest model. Look at the dwarf's hands: they are anatomically correct! Rendering correct hands has been one of the biggest problem with AI Art Generators.

Welcome to fantasyland!

 

Here is Cyrus, the mighty red dragon. Well, he might not be so mighty, but he is red, and he really looks a wee bit frightening. He looks like defending something - the forest, or a dragon's nest, or whatever. 

Dragons usually have a bad reputation - they eat young inncocent maiden for breakfast, they are violent, they are evil. But: maybe they are just creatures of the wilderness and trying to defend nature against men who come into the forest and cut the wood down?


Dwarfs usually have a good reputation. They are workoholics, getting minerals out of the earth all day long, working with big hammers on metals. They usually come in groups (like the seven dwarfs). However, there might be a dwarf who is a bit special.

This one here seems to be quite young, and from the look of his clothes is not so much working in a mine, but seems to be living in the woods. And have a look at the look on his face! He looks very determined. It could be that he has discovered the red dragon and is very much determined not to give way. On the other hand he's got no weapons. Maybe he and the dragon find a way to get along with each other. Maybe he tells the dragon that he wants to defend nature as well, and so they are both on the same side.
