“Third” is probably “final”. Not only are they all blurring together, but I have a lot of decent choices. The odds of anything better showing up are low.
two distinct foreground people (large black wolf:1.4) AND (muscular man:1.1) in bluejeans, tight white t-shirt, boots, glowing axe, outside, dry hills, moonlight, photo fantasy style, [anime], [cartoon]
22 of this batch are worth a second look. There were a few wolf heads popping out of his crotch, again, but no glowing mutations. There were a few otherwise decent ones that I rejected because eunuch.
7 of the 22 got the “contender” label.
Going through some older ones and renaming the files to my new pattern, I stumbled across a eunuch one. This is what I’m talking about (50% size so you can tell).
If you’ve got a dick, it’s going to show in pants that tight. It is now in the Rejected folder not the Contender folder.
Sorting the CoverFodder folder is making this worse. I’m finding old ones that I still like. I’ve narrowed it down to 27 contenders, most of which have been published here, already. Here are the seven from the latest batch with an eight thrown in to align the columns. [Editors note: WordPress does not make this easy.]
I like this one because it has both Tom (background) and Luke (foreground) in it. Illustrative.
I like this one because the axe doesn’t look magical (because it’s not), it has multiple wolves, and multiple depth layers.
I like the unusual stance, but “pensive” is probably not enough to survive the winnowing process.
I like all the wolves and foreground arm. His glowing thing is large (representative).
I like this one for the color and for the pack presence. Also illustrative. A lot more blue.
Another “both Tom and Luke”. It also has the glowing thing, which seems to be important. The tail is cute.
I like the big wolf. Very representative, not illustrative. Has glowing thing and stuff in the background.
All all the wolves. The biggest difference is the wolf head vs human head. Maybe.
Wow. Dealing with columns is hard to figure out. It’s basically impossible to add something to the bottom of a column so you need to add a text paragraph at the top then add images between and move things around. I wrote that mainly to engrave it in my brain so I don’t forget before I use columns, again.
Of those, top right or bottom left (ruling out the one above is difficult; I keep changing my mind), I think. Maybe that’s how I will winnow: Blocks of eight, pick no more than two. Repeat until only two left.
