For today’s daily create I am showing a new design for a bicycle. I used an AI photo generator to create a new design. I used fotor.com and in the prompt section I asked the AI to create a new and improved bicycle design. This is what the AI was able to produced. Hope you enjoy!
Let’s get into it!
On Wednesday, 3/20, the prompt was,
“Here is a prompt from @MagicRealismBot: ‘A witch smokes a cigarette in a city. She is thinking about the letter ‘C’. There is a hobbit standing right behind her.’ ⌠your challenge is to tweet out what happens next, in words and/or images. What does your mindâs eye say?”
I decided to just let myself write without really thinking about it, so here’s my post,
A witch smokes a cigarette in a city. She is thinking about the letter “C”. There is a hobbit standing right behind her.
“The cafe’s across the street,” the witch says through a puff of smoke.
The hobbit shifts to stand slightly behind and to the left, so that he can see past the witch, but not get too close. “Do you think she’s in there?”
The witch flicks the cigarette to the ground after breathing one more cloud of smoke. “Certainly.”
This was fun! I imagined they were teaming up, but the witch obviously had a lot of power over the hobbit. The hobbit wants to be helpful, but doesn’t want to overstep, in fear of the witch.
Another detail, the “she” that they’re talking about is someone named Cora. I couldn’t fit it because of word count, but it doesn’t really matter! It’s open to interpretation who that is and why they want to see her. I just needed a name with a C.
I tried to use a lot of c’s in this, which was actually kinda fun! I like these Daily Creates where I get to write stuff, it makes me happy.
On Thursday, 3/21, the prompt was,
“World Poetry Day is celebrated on 21 March, and was declared by UNESCO in 1999, âwith the aim of supporting linguistic diversity through poetic expression and increasing the opportunity for endangered languages to be heardâ. (Wikipedia) Share an endangered language poem (yes you can make it up, itâs ds106!).”
So, I went into a rabbit hole of endangered languages (this stuff is so interesting yet so sad), and here is my post,
“I found this poem written by Mikeas SĂĄnchez in the language Zoque, from Southern Mexico. This is the English translation:
Somos Millones [We Are Millions]
âCome to my land,
Set up your anhillitaing machines
Tenderness anhilitors,
show us the pain and desperation,
the bullet-holes. We are millions,
and we are not afraid of youâ
The history involved building and expanding the roads/buildings when there was no welfare for it. Very inspiring.”
I wanted to share with you guys the actual poem, which I found through an article revolving around endanged languages:
“Minä’ äjnâ najsomo,
nijpyaâä mij ntänhâkutyam
ntyajâyajpapäis
Ntä’ isanhdziramä’ teâ toya, te yajxuâijtkuy,
teâ tujkuyis pyämiâ.
Sonerampäteâ
jinhâmiâ natztameââ
It’s actually so inspiring, just knowing that this writer wrote this in retailation towards the government, and how the poem is not only about saving the language, but the people. I don’t know, I just think it’s really cool.
On Friday, 3/22, the prompt was
“The bicycle is a nature friendly and healthy way of transport. Show us a new design for a bicycle. Tricycles, quacycles are allowed too. What modern features should it have?“
So, here was my post,
“Have you ever been wandering around on your bicycle and suddenly, there’s a pesky lake in the way?
Well, fear not! With this new design, the water isn’t an obstacle in your path now! Go straight over it with our all-new inflatable wheels, designed to cross over any body of water!“
I don’t know why I thought of a bicycle on water, but it was the first thing to come to mind. I wanted the post to also sound like a commercial (maybe because I’m inspired from the radio commercials we’re making).
I ended up using an AI image generator called Deep AI, to my own disappointment, and the Fantasy World Generator with just the simple prompt of, “riding bicycle on water” for this. I generated a lot of different options, feeling uneasy the entire time, but I think this one is pretty. I’m just afraid it’s stealing an art style from someone. But, I’m not using it for profit, so I guess it’s maybe okay. Still don’t like it, though.
That’s all the Daily Creates from this week! I hope you guys liked them, I think these were really eye opening for me and fun! Got my brain working
This week we had to do 3 daily creates. Two of them were word based which was different than the last 2 weeks… I think… idk my weeks are blending at this point. Anyway, here are my posts.
The first one was to post who we think is agent 106, you know like 007, but 106 for the class number. Anyway, there is only one option when picking something like this and here it is:
Next one was to finish the tweet. This one was interesting because it could have gone any direction. Here is my post.
The last one was pretty meaningful, so I wanted to find one that was in North America to shed light on dying cultures in our borders. The last one this week was to post about poetry from dying languages. I chose to do the language of the Delaware Native Americans, the Lenape.
So overall this week for TDC as good. I learned a lot about dying languages and got to give a shout out to my main man Kurt.
For today’s daily create I am showing an endangered language poem. The poem I have chosen is Lumic Lament. I chose this poem because it is it really goes into depth about the resilience of endangered languages and the efforts to preserve them against the passage of time. Hope you enjoy!
Lumic Lament
In the whispers of the ancient trees, Where shadows dance in silent breeze, Lumic tongues once sang with glee, Now fade into eternity.
Upon the hills, where echoes weep, And memories in darkness sleep, Our words, like petals, fall and wilt, As time’s cruel hand our voices stilt.
With each passing day, a verse is lost, A treasure buried ‘neath frost, Our heritage, a fragile flame, Flickers faint, forgotten name.
Yet in the heart of the night, When stars ignite their guiding light, We raise our voices, soft and low, To reclaim the words we used to know.
For though the world may turn away, And silence veils the light of day, In the depths of our souls, the language thrives, A beacon of hope, where memory survives.
So let us weave our stories bold, In Lumic tales, both young and old, And with each word, let defiance rise, Against the fate that silence tries.
For in our language, we find our truth, Our bond to ancestors, ageless youth, And though the path ahead may seem unclear, Our voices echo, strong and near.
In the whispers of the ancient trees, Our Lumic song shall forever seize, A testament to resilience, strong and true, In the heart of every word we renew.
For this daily create I had to respond to the Magic Realism Bot’s tweet of what happens next. Here is what I said in response to what would happen next. Hope you enjoy!
For today’s daily create I have taken an old painting and put a modern twist to it. The painting I chose is The Starry Night by Van Gogh. I chose this because it is one of my favorite paintings and it’s a well-known classic. I used an AI photo generator by the name of perchance.org. I gave the generator the prompt of “generate a modern style of The Starry Night by Van Gogh”. This is what the generator was able to produce. Hope you enjoy.
No time for fun intros! Here are my Daily Creates!
Wednesday, 3/13‘s prompt was,
“The Zazow Mandelbrot Fractal art tool is strange (so, you know, perfectly suited for The Daily Create) and using its various tools and sliders (suggestion: click âadvanced modeâ) is sure to send you down a rabbit hole of color and fractal-ish design.”
So here‘s what I did! (and here‘s my second comment because I continued playing after I posted already)
Don’t get dizzy (I’m getting dizzy and I’m not even looking at it, it’s just above my text.
There really isn’t a lot to say about this, except that it was really cool to explore!! I said that the third one reminded me of The Great Gatsby, but I couldn’t think of why. My point still stands!
Also, there really isn’t a story for this one, it was fairly simple and just play around with the website.
Thursday, 3/14‘s prompt was,
“Everyone is addicted to something. What is something you could not go one day without and why?“
Which, I replied with, “I think the obvious answer is my phone, BUT I think a different answer is my cat! I’ve talked about her before (her name’s Cat if you remember), but I need to just be with here at least once during my day and just cuddle her. It’s like my therapy. She’s getting old now, though . . . but no negativity!! she’s my baby still”
I have this picture of her from an older post that I didn’t attach to the post on Mastodon, but you guys can see it here
oh my baby . . . what would I do without you? She sleeps curled up with me every night, it’s just so hard to imagine being without her!
Because this DC was just text, there really is no story, but just lots of love for my baby baby baby Cat.
Friday, 3/15‘s prompt was,
“Put a modern appliance in an old photo or an old painting.“
I knew exactly what I had to do.
(open canva)
So, through Canva, I very simply put some airpods in Lincoln’s ears
Why Lincoln? I don’t know, he was the first person to come to mind. Why airpods? Because for some reason, it is really funny to imagine airpods in really old photos. Especially Lincoln having airpods. Like why would he have airpods?
What kind of music would he even listen to today?
Something’s telling me he loves rnb . . . but you just have to trust me.
But yeah! This was easy to make, just grabbed the photo of Lincoln and a photo of airpods on Google, and mashed them together in Canva! Easy peasy, took barely 2 minutes.
Job well done is all I have to say
This is Kawhi Leonard. In my eyes he is the greatest basketball player to ever play. He is a two time NBA Finals MVP. He has carried teams from their lowest points and taken them to the peak of their career. He makes the players around him better as well. I used ScrapColoring to color this originally black and white image of Kawhi Leonard.
For today’s daily create I am talking about something I can’t go a day without. With out being said my addiction is coffee. I have a cup every morning. I feel like I can’t function throughout the day without my coffee in the morning. It wakes me up in the working and it keeps me going throughout the day. I prefer cold brew, but I don’t mind a hot coffee especially on colder days.
I did 3 daily creates this week while on travel for work and here are my posts.
The first one was to add “and then the dragons arrived” to the first line of a book and create an image. For some reason I chose harry potter and used an AI image generator…. anyway, here is the result.
The next one was to create a coloring page out of an image. I wanted to use something dark and make it colorful, so I decided to use my Edgar Alan Poe pic from a previous daily create. The Vegas lights must have seeped into my subconscious because it sems like i used those kinds of colors and patterns. Here is my post.
The third on was to make fractal art. I decided to go with the below picture because I liked the black negative space kind of cutting through the colorful areas. I named it reality tear.
It was nice to get back to the hotel at the end of a long workday and take a break from the super seriousness to be a little creative.
