Well, I’ve got myself a room here at the Heartbreak Hotel, down at the end of Lonely Street past the Third Mission well… For I was just so very lonely, sugar, right here oh so lonely, I was so lonely that I died.
Other ghosts do wander crying out in the gloom, floating here and there across the lobby and main room. For they were just so very lonely, sugar, in this place so lonely, they were so lonely that they died.
You see I’m brokenhearted and so my ghost just roams here around this forlorn place that I now call my home… For I was just so very lonely, sugar, oh so very lonely, I was so lonely that I died.
The bellhop and the desk clerk just shrug it off to Fate because they’ve been here for so long they can’t see past the gate. For they are just so very lonely, sugar, Heartbreak Hotel lonely, they are so lonely since they died.

So when you come and see me you’ll just drift right on by, we’ll pass through space and time alone without a word or sigh. For we’ll just be so very lonely, sugar, here we’ll be so lonely, we’ll be so lonely once we die.

The Ghost of Elvis, with his immaculate hair and cool cat sunglasses, actually glows in the dark. Ken’s eerie impersonated tribute is sure to get audience attention and steal a bit of Barbie’s spotlight…

So here is our last installment of our AI journey exploring the idea of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad wolf being one and the same. All of these are based upon the AI generated art and prompts using NightCafe and then created as posters in Canva. Feel free to check out Part 1 and Part 2 of this exploration if you missed them.

A non sequitur I know, but I couldn’t resist. If you picked up where we left off you’ll get it.

Seriously?! Again with the cropped off head cop out…
Artistic Portrait, Aug. 1, 2023
Finally! That was a journey. And not even worth the result, in my opinion.
Anyway, here is a bonus montage I made out of a bunch of additional Red Riding Hood prompts for an article that never happened…
AI art generated Nov. 4, 2023
Prompts for Montage:
1.) What if Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf were one and the same being? 2.) Her wolf face peering out of her red cloak, fangs dripping with the blood of another victim, lost in the forest and never found. 3.) Little Red Riding Hood closes in for the kill, lunging from her red cloak, her wolf fangs dripping with blood. 4.) I am Little Red Riding Hood. I am the Big Bad Wolf. I am coming for you. 5.) Howling within, the rage sears forth from the red cloak, discarded in the deep woods. Red Riding Hood succumbs to the lycanthropy. 6.) Heaving breaths. Dripping blood. Red Riding Hood is not what she appears. She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. 7.) Her red cloak masks the fangs hidden below the surface. 8.) It starts with a long sighing breath. Waiting. The wolf within stirs. 9.) Red Riding Hood trembles. She succumbs to the lycanthropy. 10.) The wolf bursts forth from within. It takes over Little Red Riding Hood’s mind, her body, her being. 11.) Red Riding Hood howls. She is ravenous with hunger for blood. The wolf within has taken over. Mind, spirit, body. She feasts on the blood of the moon. 12.) Big Bad Wolf Red Riding Hood ravenous blood moon feast 13.) Blood moon beckons. I. Little Red Big Bad Riding Hood Wolf. Freedom howling night curse. 14.) Beware. Bewolf. BeRedRidingHood. Betwixt. Beyond. 15.) I pad quietly as the forest dissolves around me. Red Riding Hood and Wolf, one and the same. 16.) Wolf within howling dark recesses of the mind, Red Riding Hood lost 17.) Red Riding Hood HOWL wolf bane true existence polymorph within-and-without. 18.) Red howl Riding Wolf dark existence brooding within
Continuing our AI journey from last time exploring Little Red Riding Hood herself as the Big Bad Wolf… All of these are based upon the AI generated art and prompts using NightCafe and then created as posters in Canva.

How very… Phantom of the Opera predatory… this is definitely not what I had in mind. Maybe something more cutesy?
Anime V2 style, Aug. 1, 2023
Ugh. Maybe not.
Sinister style, Aug. 1, 2023
Wow, that seems like such a cop out, cropping off the head so you don’t have to depict it. And I don’t want to lose the Little Red Riding Hood reference completely.
Artistic Portrait style, Aug. 1, 2023
So no surprise there, I knew that was too many references to work.
And as promised in Big Bad Poetry, we shall embark on our next AI journey, this time looking at Little Red Riding Hood. I had wanted to depict her as the Big Bad Wolf one and the same, although maybe not so big nor bad. But it just wasn’t happening quite as planned. All of these are based upon the AI generated art and prompts using NightCafe and then created as posters in Canva.

So I actually like this even better than my original vision, it is playful and even a bit serene (especially given the Sinister style). The wolf is just being a wolf. It’s quite lovely, really. But it wasn’t what I had in mind, so I revisited the idea later to see if I could get that result…
