I had a fun, but difficult time making it. The image was inspired by this amazing scene in the new Fallout TV show. Getting the eyes to look over there and the finger on the trigger were the most challenging parts.
This was of course followed by much upscaling and inpainting along the way.

This week, you are invited to explore the concept of "payback". This can manifest in various forms—literal interpretations of revenge, poetic justice, or even karmic outcomes. Depict scenes that tell a story of retribution or redemption, whether in a personal, social, or abstract context.
Bonus examples:
(These are just examples of me trying to use other image generators to see if I could make what I did with SD, please do not only make images of angry women with guns! 😂)

Ohhh an easy one for me! I've been creating a comic using the photo mode in Starfield. And I've complemented it using Midjourney, so I've got a few.
Here's my favorite. The prompt was : a wide close up of a young female warrior in a dark grey armor, without helmet, looking straight at us, she is visibly very angry, determined, and set for vengeance against her enemies. Behind her, we see the buildings of a futuristic cyberpunk city at night.
That's the moment my character realizes her best friend has been kidnapped and she suspects its because they want to get to her. And she swears to make every single kidnapper pay.
For this comic (it's my only comic...), I follow a Starfield podcast that has a Discord server, and in it they organize a weekly challenge on a particular planet. I started taking screenshots every week and when I figured I had enough for a story, I created a Prologue using Midjourney.
When I put all of it together, images, speech bubbles, I use Figma. I use ChatGPT to generate dialogues. I tell chatgpt what I want characters to say, and it suggests 5 dialogue lines every time. I pick the best one or combine different parts.
Then export it in images and upload it on DeviantArt.
I did upload one screenshot until I was happy with the rendering on the character. But now Midjourney has a way to reuse previously generated characters with the parameter cref (character reference) and cw (character weight).
So you can just use an older character generation as a reference and tell Midjourney how much you want it to be exactly the same. If you put cw to 100 the character will have all the same clothes. If you set it to 50, it will be more creative, but it'll be the same face, but with different details.
I tried stable diffusion once but my computer is way too slow to generate bigger images than thumbnails. My graphic card is quite basic.
Here are some more images I generated with the same character reference.
