Floral Butterfly

Thank you so much!

I hope you have a great birthday! School has me around its finger and just chatting now on NC has been getting a bit rough.. but I'm still here >:D

Who, me? :D Thank you! No worries, I know life comes at you fast! It's my birthday this week, so I might even be offline for a few days, out in nature. WAY too cold for butterflies, though!

Meh school likes to give me easy work :) Just very long

Thank you! Take it easy and don't feel bad about focusing on what you need to! :)

Oh, thank you so much!

Oooooh, that would be fabulous! Let me find the link to the start image for this (in Artistic, naturally) to give you. And lol, just one somniamea is too many, according to some people who live with me. 😂 But I dig it!

Here's my Artistic prompt:

Thank you so much!

The public chat can be found on the Stable "Create" screen, (where you make creations. - to my knowledge at least.

There should be a button right where the prompt area is, and that button should say this: "New Interface! Collaborate with friends, iterate faster, customize your experience, and more!"

If you see that button, then click on it and the chat page will open up. :)

On the chat page, you can either use a code that someone sends you to join a chat, or you can use a link.

But under where you can use a code or link, it says "Public Chats". And that’s where those are. :)

Hope that helps.

But If that’s not visible for some reason, then here are some of the public chats:

AI Art Hangout:

Newbie Hangout:

Daily Challenge Chat:

I tried, haha. :)

Lol, I try. :) My pleasure.

Oh, thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

YAY, thank you so much! :D :D It's funny, once again I held onto this for a month, waiting for I have no idea what, and then...butterfly challenge! Same as with the rose. And actually my winner was a month old when I submitted it. I'm sensing a pattern...

Haha, good call on waiting :D My butterfly oldie made it to top 20%

YAY and congrats to you! :D

I wish my score had remained higher, but I'll take it over not placing :P Quite a few of my friends have made it to the top 5% this time. I'm happy for them all :)

Absolutely! Something is indeed better than nothing! I was really worried about this one, because as much as I love it, I actually entered another one of these (just as good, I think) into a No Theme and it didn't place! So that really teaches me to be very happy with any bonus credits I get from challenges, and not feel bad about low or no placing. :)

I've also learned not to spend too much time or credits on themes that I don't care personally for. I liked the mermaid statues so much that I evolved another set, challenge or no challenge 😝

YES! That is absolutely the way to go. I've actually decided not to participate in a few that don't interest me, because it's so much harder and less fun to make something that I don't care about, and that is when I end up going through so many credits and having a glut of creations that I can't stand, and feeling like I should just give up the whole thing and rethink my life. 🤣

I know that feeling. I like to attempt one or two challenge pieces just for fun. That is, if I don't already have an older piece that's perfectly suitable.

There have been so many times when I have had something perfectly suitable and tried to convince myself that I didn't need to make something new...but I have such a bizarre aversion to entering something that's been published (or maybe that's just the excuse I use to create more).

I think it's a good excuse to create beautiful stuff. I never get tired of your swirls 😝 I used to have an aversion to entering stuff that's more than a few days old, but there have been themes that I couldn't be bothered attempting all over again (horses, butterflies and seasons come to mind).
