7 days, 7 themes, 3 Daily Challenge placements, 16,150 Buzz awarded and nearly 6,000 public generations!
What. A. Week.
The Daily Challenge Side Quest started as a small experiment – a little promotion for my LoRAs, a fun bonus round for the community and honestly... a test to see how much creative chaos I could manage 😅
And you all absolutely delivered. From start to finish. Pure madness – in the best possible way.
📊 The Numbers
Over the course of 7 days, 5,885 images were generated directly on CivitAI using one of my LoRAs.
⚠️ That number only includes public online generations through the CivitAI site – local renders and manual uploads are not included. So the real number? Definitely higher.
In addition:
💰 I earned 1,392 Buzz through public use of my models
🏆 I awarded 16,150 Buzz during the event
(adjusted to exclude the 3rd place prize I would’ve paid myself 😅)
📁 All Collections – Day by Day
Here are the official Side Quest collections with all selected images for each day:
📅 Day 1 – Tools-World-Morph: Collection Link

🏆 How winners were picked
Each day, I reviewed all entries submitted to the Daily Challenge that visibly used one of my LoRAs.
From each user, I selected up to two standout images and added them to the day’s public collection.
From those, I narrowed it down to a Top 8–10 and with help from friends, family – and one day, even ChatGPT, the final Top 3 were chosen.
⏱️ I spent about 2–3 hours per day reviewing and curating – not counting my awesome little helper crew. Big thanks to them!

If you’ve got tips, tricks, suggestions, wishes or even criticism about one of my LoRAs –
please post it directly on the model’s page.
That way it won’t get buried and I can:
highlight great user advice in the description
or use it to guide future improvements
💡 And if you’ve got feedback about this event – what worked, what didn’t or what you'd love to see next time –
drop a comment right under this post!
I read everything and it helps more than you think.
🙌 Thank you!
To everyone who joined, supported, posted, voted, reacted or just followed along from the shadows:
You made this Side Quest something special.
The energy, the quality, the ideas – you went beyond anything I imagined.
Will there be another Side Quest?
Oh yes. Absolutely.
…once my Buzz wallet stops crying in a dark corner. 😅
Keep rockin’ and generating –
