Capricorn is the last earth sign of the zodiac.

Period: 22 Dec – 19 Jan

Motto: “I create order and structure in the right time with responsibility!“

Characteristics of the Capricorn sign

Representatives of this zodiac sign are taking life seriously. They have strong self-discipline and they are making a strong progress towards their goals. This zodiac sign is practical. The predictability is very important for a Capricorn. They love to plan things which gives stability to them. Financial security is another high priority area for them. Capricorn thinks always twice what the want to purchase. Female and Male Capricorns are both full with ambition and working hard both in their job and in private life. They are reliable, accurate, trustworthy. They rarely ask for help, preferring to solve tasks independently. Sometimes they are more productive alone then in a team.

Development opportunities

If you are a Capricorn, then you should try to be more empathetic with others. Try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, even if it’s the hardest thing in the world for you.

I cropped the image and removed some unwanted elements in the top left corner.

Prompt #2

Create a 2:3 aspect ratio image: highly detailed, cinematic digital concept art of a man who is a representative of the Capricorn zodiac sign. There should be no constellations in the sky, just a simple starry night sky and rocky mountains in the background.

This time, get to know the characteristics of the Sagittarius zodiac sign!

Period: 22 Nov – 21 Dec

Motto: “Faith moves mountains! I am capable of achieving great things!”

What do we know about people with the Sagittarius sign?

Being a fire sign, they are eternally restless, tireless, curious, a true explorer.
They love to travel, they would love to travel the whole world.
He has great enthusiasm, a great sense of justice.

Sagittarius is important for his sincerity and straightforwardness.
Representatives of this zodiac sign are eternally cheerful, their optimism never leaves them.

He dreams big, furthermore he tends to soar too high, to “fly away like a balloon”. It is good if he has a practical (earth type) partner by his side, who brings him down to the ground of reality.
In the best case, he is a real social figure, a real “party face”, as he has good speaking skills.
In a relationship, he is a chivalrous, romantic, attractive man or a seductive woman.

Development opportunities

Sagittarius must make sure that he can “bring down” his good ideas and lofty ideals to the physical level. He should be able to put knowledge into practice. Don’t just dream big and have his feet not touching the ground.

Prompt

A 3:2 digital 3D render, a true masterpiece with amazingly rich details, depicting a half-shirtless, muscular, athletic man in black pants in a side view, who holds his bow at about 45 degrees to the sky, ready to shoot. The bow and arrow, half aimed at the sky, symbolizes lofty ideas. In the background, ash and embers glow. The kind of fire that remains after a big campfire and can still catch fire. In the distance, dark mountains stand and the sky is a light gray shade. The lights are dramatic, sublime, epic. The character is heroic, full of optimism, enthusiasm and energy. The image has a warm, optimistic yet dramatic atmosphere.

I used DALL-E to generate this image and I made a little post production in Affinity Photo to extend the upper part of the image because the bow was cutted at the top.

Prompt

A beautiful gold-plated metal scorpion statue on the lakeside, finely crafted and engraved, with small ruby ​​red jewel inlays. Fine damages and scratches are visible on its metallic surface. This indicates that it has taken on difficult tasks and has been injured many times in its life due to external and internal battles. The scorpion statue is the precise goldsmith work of ancient Egyptian culture.

The statue is on the shore of the lake, in the upper right corner of the picture. The water of the lake is crystal clear, small stones and aquatic vegetation can be seen on the shore and in the water. Toward the lower right edge of the picture, the lake suddenly deepens and we cannot see the bottom, only the deep blue darkness. The scorpion seems to come alive and want to crawl into the water. There is some negative space on the edges of the image so that the scorpion does not completely touch the edge of the image.

I made this picture with DALL-E.

In addition to the grave, there are other beautiful and well-kept graves, on which are arranged plants, flowers, shining candlesticks and reddish-brown, yellow, rust-brown and greenish-yellow autumn leaves that have fallen from the trees. In the background there is a very light fog and huge sycamore and maple trees with their thick trunks and beautiful branch structure are a wonderful sight. In the distance are some tall, slender pines.

Prompt #2: 3:2 aspect ratio early evening (blue hour), close-up cinematic photo with narrow depth of field, bokeh effect in the background, burning candles on a marble tombstone, the candles are reflected on the smooth surface with the wax flowing down their sides, a halo shines around the candle flames , which fills the image with warmth.

In the back row are gray haired bearded male saints, their legs covered by the torsos and halos of the men in the middle row.
Everyone is in dark gray or red or blue or dark green cloaks. Their legs and feet are not visible because they are completely covered by the long cloak.
