April Contest: Japanese Untranslatables

Starts April 1st Ends April 26th Japanese Untranslatables As I was doing research into untranslatables, I found some great examples within the Japanese language! "Untranslatables" are terms that lack a direct equivalent in another language, capturing nuances or concepts that are difficult to express without a lengthy explanation or a different phrasing. The challenge is to create a multimedia collage that depicts the definitions of the words below that have no English translation. Choose at least three. Define the word artistically without using English text. Can represent the Japanese culture or not, but must define the word. Make your art a universal language. Rules for these Challenges: Creations must be SFW and PG13. They must be AI-generated (any and all AI models are allowed) and can't be behind a paywall. No harassment will be tolerated and will result in being blocked and deleted. No ~isms (racism, sexism, etc.) At least 3 words need to be depicted in 3

Zoom In, Zoom Out Challenge

Starts March 1st Ends March 29th Zoom In, Zoom Out Since our group daily challenges this month are about Macro images, I thought it would be fun to do some series that zoom in from landscape to macro, or zoom out. Whichever direction you like. HINT: Think of a bottle (image 1) on a shelf (image 2), in a store window (image 3), on a market street (image 4.) Or a lost coin on the street, but each image you zoom a bit farther out till you get a bird's-eye view of the whole city. Rules for these Challenges: Creations must be SFW and PG13. They must be AI generated (Any and all AI Models are allowed) and can't be behind a payroll. No harassment will be tolerated and will result in being blocked and deleted. No ~isms (racism, sexism, etc.) Has to have 5 images at least. Can be 5 separate images (please use the new multi-images in Studio) or 1 large image of the whole set. Try to match the same style so the idea of the zoom flows, but they don't have to photorealism. Must be
