To celebrate the release of 2.4.0, I decided to set my local AI on the next big thing in Aurora - Flags!
Having learned some lessons from making my AI-generated race pictures, I had the AI generating flags that were already in the proportions that Aurora uses - no cutting down images; no worrying about things getting squished!
Anyway, all of these flags were generated from a base flag (either a real flag, a sci-fi/fantasy flag, or one of the default flags that Aurora comes with) and run through an image-to-image prompt of "Flag of the Iron Imperium" - which happens (not coincidentally) to be the name of my current race. This prompt tended to generate sharp corners, weapon-like objects, some knight and beast-looking imagery, and occasionally some Warhammer 40k-like images. Images were generated in batches of 12, and I ended up with about 500 images.
I've painstakingly gone through all those images and trimmed it down to the 125 that I liked the look of best.
Anyway, I hope that you get some utility out of these images - feel free to use some or all of them in your campaigns with my blessing.
Next up - maybe another run of flags with the prompt something like "Flag of the Tentacled Abominations" - see if I can get some really organic shapes going.
Edit: all my preview images appear to have broken - uploading to the forum for hosting instead...

Okay, that actually worked out really well - I'm very happy about this latest batch.
Here's 112 wiggly, squirmy, tentacled abomination flags, all created with the same method to the last batch, but with a generation prompt of "Flag of the Tentacled Abominations."
If anyone's got a some other key words they'd like to see, feel free to make suggestions.

Here's my newest batch - "Flag of the Robotic Eternal Gears"
Honestly, not nearly as successful as my previous attempts - even after generating 300-odd images, I only ended up with 60 images that I really felt worked well.
Ended up more gearpunk than I originally invisaged.

Next Up - "Flag of the Hive, the Endless Swarm"
70 flags focusing on insectoids.
-
"Flag of the Blinkenlights, AI Collective"
67 Glowing / Computer / Electronics-related flags.
-
Just as a side-note, I'd like to call out the following flags for just always producing really excellent outputs:
Flag0393 (the 40k Imperial Double Eagle).
Arstotzka's Flag (from Papers Please).
and Calico Jack.
Not sure what it is with these flags in particular, but the AI seems to get really creative with them and mold them in surprising ways that line up with the theme selected.

"Flag of the Ten Thousand Eyes, Endless Vigilance"
67 eye-themed flags.
