Daily Create 2 of 3 for week 9

Today’s #DailyCreate #tdc4446 #ds106 Truisms

I thought it isn’t over until it’s really over. but what does that even mean? I used adobe firefly to generate an image of an abandoned gravestone. I then put the image in photo shop and used generative fill to add the daffodils, butterfly and rabbit. For the dead it is over for them on earth, but life still goes on. the plants grow in the soil made of things decomposing. The rabbits eat the plants. The butterflies also need the plants. Then there is all the symbolism surrounding the plants and animals. So, it’s not over until it is really over.

Factualized Art – or Portal to Another World?

The daily create gave us a link to make factualized art. Mandelbrot Fractal :: Zazow

I called my creation a frame. But really it reminds me of a sci-fi portal to another world. Does Dr. Strange have anything to do with this? Is Evil Brick really what he is fighting against and not Dormammu? You can decide pretty frame or portal to evil.

Once I made my art I could save and download it. I then put it in Photo Shop. I took the picture of Evil Brick that I colored yesterday and removed him from the background. I then resized it and made it fit nicely in the black void.

Evil Brick sees your soul.

Evil Brick Returns and so do the gremlins

When I saw The Daily Create, I thought wow this is a nice easy one for today. I really enjoyed the last coloring one. I had fun trying different pictures I had on file. I settled on Evil Brick without the eyebrows. I had fun trying different patterned looks on him. Where I ran into trouble was getting the picture to post. the directions would not work for me. I guess the same gremlins that were ruining my work yesterday are still at it today.  http://scrapcoloring.fr/coloriage-photos-et-dessins?image=evilbrick.1710259028 is supposed to take you to the picture I colored according to the directions on the web page. It doesn’t work for me. It sends you to the webpage but without the evil brick.

In the end I took my phone and took a picture of my work on my computer screen. I then cropped the picture.

And then the Dragons Arrived

For The Daily Create we were asked to take the first line of a book and then add the line “and then the dragons arrived. Once we chose that we were to make a gif or a picture illustrating the new opening.

I thought of using a children’s book but that just worked to well. I then decided on the bible. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And then the dragons arrived.

I used Adobe firefly. It just puts creation out of order really. I really liked the picture. I then had a suggestion from my husband to use one of his antique children’s novels. He brought me “Tom Swift and His Atomic Earth Blaster. “Man, look at this earth blaster go to town!” yelled Bud Barclay from the cab of a big tractor trailer. And then the dragons arrived. I got some great pictures to choose from. I picked one and did some edits and added the atomic earth blaster. Then the program froze or something and I lost all my work. At this point I was like the original created by Adobe Firefly will have to do.

Stamp

The daily create 4428 Make a Stamp for DS 106

I used Postage Stamp – PhotoFunia: Free photo effects and online photo editor to make my stamp.

I used a picture my daughter drew for me copying my evil brick. I used her favorite color purple. Tabitha is my daughter not the name of the evil brick.

Castle on the Hill

The Daily Create 4427 asked a question. Ed Sheeran and Dr. Frankenstein have something in common… a Castle on the Hill. Which castle on the hill would you rather visit? For today’s Daily Create describe your visit to the castle. I chose neither and used Adobe Firefly to create a better castle!

A picture is worth a thousand words they say. So, I used AI!

I used generative fill to add the winged horses in the sky, the butterfly, the sunbathing crocodile on the castle shore and the 3 flowers in the right corner. The prompt I used was Castle on a hill surrounded by a mote with alligators, in the sky rainbow and purple unicorns. It didn’t give me horses just pretty alligators.

Statue? – The Daily Create

The daily Create 4426 gave us a picture to play with.

Use the staging area of the open mouth of this statue for art or words or animation or whatever strikes your fancy or inspiration. Or maybe you will remix the image?

I chose to remix!

I cut out the mouth from the picture and pasted it on my evil brick. Then The evil brick had a mouth! so much more expressive. The brick needed more soooooo I put it on a duck! I used Adobe photo shop AI and gave it some prompts of on a duck until it gave me one I liked. At first asking for it to be on a duck only gave me a brick in the water. lots of different water but all essentially the same. I pill post my favorite below.

Evil bricks are just popping up everywhere! Water is no longer safe!

Super Size Me – a daily create

The daily create asked to think of 3 things that had their size in their title or name.

  1. Mode of Transportation
  2. Creature/Animal
  3. Item of Food

Then we had the option of writing a poem or creating a picture. I chose picture and used AI or rather adobe Firefly to create some images. I did try a king crab in a hot air balloon eating a sub sandwich but that was just too creepy to share or save.

The clear winner was Koala, roller skates, and 7-layer cake.

here are a few favorites.

Why That Face?

The daily Create 4421 asked why is the man making that face? Is it his drink? Is it what he is listening too? Did someone walk into the room.

I had many ideas. The Kool-Aid-man busting in? Jessica Rabbit asking if he knows the words to Patty Cake. The radio explained how to spell boobies on a calculator. Perhaps he is chuckling because we all assume he is drinking tea, but it is really whisky or moonshine? Or better yet he is drinking Absinthe, and he is seeing green fairies. I went with the following.
