Community Challenge (July 21 - 28)

⚡ Hey Invokers!

It's Comic-Con Week! 🦸‍♀️ 🎭

Step into the story: reimagine yourself as a character, or bring your favorite hero, anime icon, or pop culture figure to life in your style.

You can:
✨ Transform your avatar or portrait into a character ready for Comic-Con
🦸‍♂️ Create a version of yourself inside a fandom universe
🎨 Or simply design your own take on a well-loved character

💥 Your mission:
Create a piece that feels like you (or your chosen character) are attending Comic-Con in full costume — or even better, as if you’re part of their universe.

Here are some creative directions you can explore to kickstart your concept:

🧑‍🎤 Transform your portrait or avatar into a cosplaying version of yourself. Using a reference image or your own photo is not required — but definitely a plus! It helps you craft a more personal, stylized version of the character or costume.
🌟 Put a twist on classic characters with your own art style
🎮 Imagine crossovers — anime meets cyberpunk, or steampunk superheroes
🎬 Style mashups — Arcane, Marvel, Ghibli, fantasy, retro, comic book…
🎨 Choose any style you like — surreal fantasy, retro-futuristic, sci-fi...

🛠️ Invoke’s tools are your power-up:
Use Control Layers and Reference Images to bring your avatar or favorite character to life — whether you’re reimagining yourself in a hero’s costume or crafting a brand-new alter ego.
Add finishing touches with: Glowing overlays, Shimmering effects, Dramatic lighting, cel shading or Chromatic accents

How to Participate:

📸 Post your work in the Challenge Thread

Unmask the illusion. Become the legend. 🦸‍♂️ 🦸‍♀️

Happy Invoking! ⚡

Why do crossovers always end in a big battle?

@wheat sentinel It is best to vote only once per image.

[wheat sentinel]

Fixed it. I wasn't thinking of it like voting. Sorry about that.

np. just makes the job of madland easier at the end of the challenge.

I published a Lora for stillsuits from dune so of course i have to use it with my own...
