This is the challenge where you get to play with all your favorite tools, and perhaps try out some you’ve never used before.
Imagine a forest populated by elves, mages, and magical creatures. Generate a character from your forest using Firefly, Photoshop, Adobe Express, or text-to-vector in Illustrator to begin. Expand the scene, adjust the lighting and colors, and add elements that help create an illustration for the ages. Save an image, screenshot, or video clip of your final artwork, post it as a reply to this post, and describe your process and which tools you used.
This example uses multiple generated images composited in Photoshop, adjusted with the Camera Raw filter, and fleshed out with Generative Expand and Generative Fill.
There are no prizes other than the joy of creating and the experience gained in making different tools work together to a final creative product. What can you create?

Story can be as much about what you don't say, so that it can unfold in the mind of the viewer. This is another image in a series compositing together fantasy watercolor images from Firefly. These were the two main images (miniature versions):
After editing, coloring, and lighting adjustments in Photoshop, not to mention running the Spherize action from the Adobe Looking Glass action set, the piece needed cropping to fix aspect ratio and composition, several sets of Generative Fill, and a few more adjustments. Finally, the queen (goddess? mother spirit?) benefited from a tiny adjustment in Liquify to get the expression I wanted as she apparently estimates the knight's character. Why? Who are they? There are a dozen dozen stories here.
Prompt: Create a fantasy image with kings and queens
Side Note: Oddly I feel it's just queens with no kings in a Disney style of a Frozen scene!
Another fun challenge! I started with generating the cats in Firefly, took those into Photoshop, removed background, merged the cats layers into one layer and generated a new background. Then adjusted the colors a bit, et voila!
