Alright, let me tell you about this thing I messed around with – a wrestler with a mohawk. Sounds simple, right? Well, kinda. Here’s how it went down.
First off, I was just messing around with some image generation stuff, right? I typed in “wrestler.” Got a bunch of beefy dudes, which, okay, expected. Then I added “mohawk.” Things got a little more interesting. But they were kinda… boring. Generic.
So, I started thinking, what makes a good mohawk on a wrestler? Gotta be tall, gotta be spiky, gotta look like it could cut glass. Remember Mr. T back in the day? That’s the vibe I was going for.
I kept tweaking the prompts. Things like “aggressive,” “intense,” “sweat,” and “80s wrestling” started popping up in my text. I was picturing some dude who’d just thrown his opponent through a table.
The first few tries? Total garbage. Mohawks that looked like they were glued on, wrestlers who looked like they belonged in a yoga class, the whole shebang. I tried different styles of wrestling in the prompt: “lucha libre,” “sumo,” “catch wrestling”. Nothing clicked.
Then I started thinking about the colors. I went from “black mohawk” to “neon green mohawk.” Suddenly, things started to pop. That neon green against the red of the wrestling ring? Way more eye-catching.
Next up was the facial expression. I added “snarling” and “yelling” to the prompt. Finally, I got a wrestler who looked like he actually wanted to be there, tearing things up. Not just some guy in tights going through the motions.
I kept running the thing over and over, each time adding a tiny adjustment here and there. A little more sweat on the brow, a little more definition in the muscles, a little more wildness in the eyes.
It wasn’t easy. Most of the outputs were still straight-up awful. But every once in a while, one would pop up that had something special. A certain look, a certain energy. And that’s what kept me going.
After hours of messing around, I finally got one I was happy with. A dude with a crazy-high neon green mohawk, muscles bulging, snarling like a wild dog. He looked like he was about to unleash some serious pain on whoever was unlucky enough to be standing across the ring from him.
Was it perfect? Nah, probably not. But it was way better than where I started. And it taught me a thing or two about persistence and the power of tiny adjustments. Plus, now I have a pretty badass wrestler with a mohawk to show for it.
So yeah, that’s the story. Just me, a bunch of prompts, and a whole lot of wrestling madness. Give it a shot yourself, you might be surprised what you come up with!
