This took 56 minutes! - but it didn't have exclusive use of LM Studio, I ran a few other test prompts while it was working. llm -m lmstudio/qwen/qwen3.8-27b 'Generate an SVG of a pelican equipment case'

That is pretty good! It's interesting it chose orange, because that's actually a somewhat rare color for pelican cases. I would say 95% of the ones going around the world right now are either black or FDE (flat dark earth) tan colored. There are some orange ones, for sure, if you google image search "orange pelican case", people use them for emergency/first aid supplies or electronics. But only the smallest ones are available in orange. It is also worth noting that it shaded the pelican case like it was a product photo taken in a studio, there's a virtual light source above and to the top left corner of it, then shading deeper color of orange as the body area progresses towards the lower right corner.

  What are the chances that the colouring of actual pelicans is bleeding in to the prompt. Seems it could be that?

    Doubtful? Without knowing anything about how it was trained, if you google image search "pelican bird" they are predominantly white in color. Though the bill is certainly orange, different shades depending on camera and lighting conditions. The SVG attempt looks more like an attempt at the product photos if you search "pelican case orange".

      Need more tests of 'pelican bird standing in pelican equipment case' ;)

        Or to make it even more tricky, since Pelican cases will float when closed, something like "generate an SVG file of a Pelican bird floating in the ocean next to a Pelican case".

  I've been getting ads in my Instagram for http://colorcase.com http://colorcase.com. They add colors and wheels to cases and I'm sharing them because you're right, most of them aren't orange. But they could be!

    Wow, those are expensive. I've been buying pelican 1510 and similar from eBay and b&h used/refurb. The harbor freight pelican knock off that is their 3800 and 4800 product numbers are also not bad. It's like 85% as good as a real pelican for 40% of the price.

      it's just money and you wanna look good. You're worth it.
