New Mini-Themes in Discord!

Every week in Discord, we rotate in a new set of for-fun mini-themes. All are suggested by you and managed by Theme Queen, Elli (@p.ai.nterly on IG)! Last week’s “Soda World” and “Surrealist Fashion” saw some tasty bev-scapes and otherworldly threads.

Next Week: Life & Death 💀 and Cityscapes 🌆! Independently.. intriguing. But will they combo? Time will tell.

“Soda World”

Paradox absolutely nailed it!

“Surrealist Fashion”

The moment I saw this image by @blossie.art, I fell in lava with it.

“Soda World” x “Surrealist Fashion”

A dazzling, fizzly infusion by none other than Elli!
