    Surprise! Maybe a bit meta, but I got surprised myself while trying to create a surprise themed image.
    It is not at all what I tried to do with the prompt, but doesn’t that make it the best surprise of all? :)

    Prompt : a young lady is brushing her hair, sitting on her bed. Under the bed, a monstrous entity awaits for her to go to bed. The monster is ugly, has shiny eyes that glow in the dark and we don’t see much of his traits because it’s dark under the bed, but we see its tongue and its claws. The girl is sitting on her bed, and the monster is under the bed.

    Clearly, Midjourney is having trouble with over, under, behind… But I’m happy with this one.

    Surprise bees!

    copilot prompt

    bees pour out of a cereal box as a father tries to pour it into his daughter’s cereal bowl. the family is sitting around the kitchen table. the family reacts in panic.

    The real surprise is how difficult it is to set up an expectation and a subversion of that expectation in a single image.

    Breakfast Surprise.

    Prompt

    Main Subject: An egg in an egg cup on a breakfast table. The egg is opened, and instead of a yolk, there is a creature that looks like an alien from the film “Alien” inside. Top-down view.

    Detailed Imagery: The egg white is slightly glossy, reflecting the light. The creature inside has a distinct, biomechanical appearance with shiny, dark, scaly skin and a menacing mouth full of sharp teeth. The egg cup is made of porcelain with a delicate floral pattern.

    Environment: A cozy breakfast table with a plate, a cup of coffee, and a small bouquet of flowers. The tablecloth is checkered in pastel colors.

    Mood/Atmosphere: A mix of everyday normality and eeriness. The familiar breakfast setting is disrupted by the eerie creature in the egg.

    Artistic Style: Realistic with a touch of surrealism and horror.
