 Mistigram: from last month's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection comes this #Dune-inspired #ANSIart landscape by Darkman Almighty, used atop that pack's memberlist.

 Mistigram: #LongLiveTheFighters! For the second year in a row, @DosDocOne has made Frank Herbert's #Dune one of his literary selections for representation in our annual May science fiction artpack, likely informed by the success of its recent film adaptations in the cinemas. In this #ANSIart illustration we see a #Fremen warrior, clad in stillsuit and wielding a crysknife, defiant against sandworm bombardment from ornithopters, against a backdrop of Arvon, the second moon of Arrakis -- also known as #MuadDib -- looming in the background. This piece was included in last month's MIST0524 collection.

 Mistigram: Periodically Nitron likes to check in with the state of the art for AI handling of ridiculous topics when we assign him nonsense subjects in the Blender improvised art compo.  This time around its absurd words were "POWER RANGERS" / "ROBBERY" / and "DUNE" and, well, the hivemind needs to work a little on figuring out what a robbery looks like.  But if you need pseudo-textmode generative art on themes of desert tokusatsu (and who among us does not!) ... you could do worse!  Naturally these submissions are not eligible for competition, and I would express concerns over the potential of lost employment for skilled producers of niche fanart, but the specific Dune / Power Rangers overlap seems to be a hitherto uncapitalized territory.
