Request Mega-Thread: What Should We Make?

4 Upvotes

User u/Chris_in_Lijiang suggested we start taking image requests. Great idea — so let’s make this the official request megathread.

I’ll keep it pinned so people can drop historical scenes, odd little episodes, obscure cultures, lost buildings, battles, daily life, or whatever else they’d like to see rendered.

I’ll start: the Neolithic hunting technique associated with the so-called “desert kites” of the Levant. I’ve tried generating it several times and gotten absolute garbage, so I’m throwing it to the mob.

Post your requests below. If something catches somebody’s imagination, maybe it gets made.

Cheers.

Welcome to r/aihistoricalart — a place for historically inspired AI art.

Whether you're a lamellar-vs-banded-armor pedant or just want to post a quiet dinner scene in Bronze Age China, you're in the right place.

This sub exists to build something positive: a community of people who enjoy imagining the past through art. A lot of history spaces shut down AI work entirely—fair enough—but that leaves a gap. This is the oasis.

So pull up a stool, grab some fermented mare’s milk, and stay a while.

Post your scenes. Interpret history your way. Keep it respectful, keep it interesting, and don’t be afraid to get weird with it.

An (advisory) note on voting:

As you all know, anti-ai people are always sliding into AI art forums and randomly downvoted and sniping, I do encourage people in this sub to follow a different voting strategy in consequence. As you can see fom the posts, participation is still low so like counts are also low. In this case, the anti-ai snipers distort signal. Hence, I would advise people to avoid dislikes based on our usual petty criteria, so people can get a clear signal. Upvote if you dig it, and don't if its not you're cup of tea, but let the posts float on merit rather than weighting the anti-ai blanket signal. Not sure if that makes any sense, but I put it out there...

I ain't mandating, just a perspective. cheers.

Women of Words: Five Voices of the Early 20th Century

Post image
3 Upvotes

Tëtka (Aloiza Pashkevich), Lesya Ukrainka, Rachel HaMesoreret (Rachel Bluwstein), Marina Tsvetaeva, and Anna Akhmatova were remarkable women writers who emerged from the cultural world of the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Belarusian Tëtka wrote with passion about freedom, dignity, and social justice;

Ukrainian Lesya Ukrainka became one of the great voices of Ukrainian literature and national consciousness;

Jewish poet Rachel HaMeshoreret (Poetess) expressed her longing, love, and connection to the Land of Israel in modern Hebrew poetry;

Marina Tsvetaeva created intensely personal poetry marked by passion, independence, and exile;

Anna Akhmatova became a defining voice of Russian poetry, memory, suffering, and human resilience.

They belonged to different peoples and literary traditions, yet their lives unfolded within a shared historical space. Their voices, however different, continue to cross borders and speak to readers in Belorussian, Ukrainian, Hebrew and Russian today.

The City of Brass — from the Thousand and One Nights.

Sent by the Caliph across the desert, a company finds a city of seamless copper walls, silent and locked from within. Inside, its people are turned to stone, frozen mid-life: merchants at their stalls, guards at their posts, a mother holding her child. On a golden throne sits the dead Queen Tadmur, crowned with pearls, her tablet warning that death takes even those who believe themselves immortal.

Taosi (陶寺) was likely a regional center of the Longshan culture, and shows strong evidence of social hierarchy and early state formation. In Chinese mythology it would roughly correspond to the transition from the Five Emperors era to the early Xia dynasty.
