Jackal Lanterns

The seeds of smashed Jack'o lanterns, if not swept up and thrown away, may take root. The twisted gourds mature over the course of a single year, until they rise to hunt the following Halloween.

Those in costume are invisible to Jackal Lanterns, though the stench of tricks will still draw them to their prey.

Prompt and process under the fold

Midjourney can't make a jackal lantern. It's current parser can't beat the 3 basket problem enough to put a pumpkin on a dog's head, maybe in v6.

Rather than use Dall-E 3 (because its slow as heck as I type it and I have another project baking there) I used the new in-painting tool. First, I generated the Jackals:

Prompt: a painting of a supernatural jackal, orange fur, glowing green spots, breathing green fire, running down a country road, moonlit night, spooky, horrifying, painting by wayne reynolds and wayne barlowe, side view :: a jackal runs through a haunted forest at night, filled with floating green spirits, bare trees, halloween scene

I then inpainted the heads and muzzle areas, and a section around the head big enough for an appropriate gourd, and changed the prompt to:

Prompt: a jack o' lantern, breathing green fire, spooky, horrifying, painting by wayne reynolds and wayne barlowe :: a jack-o-lantern with sharp teeth, glowing with green fire

Halloween fun, I think I’ll do a companion character like this to everyevery cut-out background I do for the new book!
