The next challenge was The Female Choice. As in nature, brilliant plumage, elaborate displays, songs, dances and rituals are used to lure the female gaze, our challenge was to invent the ultimate example. Mine did not get many votes, but I stand by it.
8/25/26 “Sexiest Man Alive”
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.
Our next challenge was to share a picture of a Pokémon with its dark evil form. I chose the one I thought was the cutest Jigglypuff because I thought that might be good contrast.

The next day’s challenge was to recreate a poster for an internationally famous film. I decided to honor someone who had recently passed away. Can you guess the movie?
8/27/26 “9-5”
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.
That one won! So I had to come up with the next challenge. Here is what I wrote:
Let’s look at the world through a magnifying glass! The New Challenge: “Tiny Worlds”
Show us a macro-perspective of something small that holds a whole world inside. It could be an entire ecosystem inside a glass teardrop, a tiny magical village built inside a tree stump, or a whole galaxy captured within a single marble. Think big by looking small! Have fun, and may the best prompt win!
8/28/26 “Missing Home”

The last challenge of the week was to make a house or building in any theme. The only rule was that it needed to be fictional or imaginative.
8/29/26 “Knot For Rent”

And here are some of the honorable mentions that I did not submit, but still published on my art website:
Because I won the Prompt Challenge about Silence last week, it was my turn to come up with a challenge for the others. I called it “The Scene Outside the Frame”. Create an image where the most important thing happening is completely outside the picture. We never see it. The expressions, body language, lighting, movement, reflections, or reactions of objects inside the frame must make us understand what is happening beyond it.
Some examples might include a fishing pole bending dramatically into the water with a fisherperson’s facial expressions showing awe, the facial expressions of a groom seeing his bride coming down the aisle, a horror scene with the scary thing behind the viewer, people staring at the sky as a giant shadow covers them, etc.
My example is called “Celebrity Worship”.
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.
Platform – Gencraft; Model – Image 3.0;
Prompt – Bright, pop-art comic scene of an ecstatic crowd packed behind a red velvet rope at a celebrity event. Everyone looks toward the same off-screen point with exaggerated excitement: screaming, gasping, pointing, reaching, holding smartphones high to take photos, hands on cheeks, wide eyes and open mouths; one overwhelmed woman dramatically faints in the crowd. Diverse colorful characters, dynamic poses, vintage comic-book illustration, bold yellow starburst background, bright colors contrast, crisp detail.
This first challenge of the week was to create an image of an animal working in a professional career. We had to demonstrate technical control and a distinct point of view.
8/16/26 “Hyena Comedian”
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.
The next challenge was in honor of Curt Siodak who is the inventor of the modern werewolf myth. We had to pick an element of the modern myth to illustrate.
8/17/26 “Werewolf”
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.
The next challenge was to create an image that shows only a tiny part of something absolutely enormous. Without showing the complete thing, perspective, surroundings, or other clues should imply size. Mine was not as colossal as everyone else’s.
8/18/26 “Giant Athlete”
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.
The next day’s challenge was in the style of the Dutch Old Masters.
8/19/26 “Midnight Snack”
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.
The next challenge was a hard one that I needed ChatGPT’s help to complete. It had to be a video game including LEVEL UP or LEVEL COMPLETE and the interface with gaming features. I know very little about video games, so I needed quite a bit of guidance. I made a game about making AI art!
8/20/26 “Prompt Quest”
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.
To my shock and surprise, I won the video game image challenge. So I had to make up the next one. I had everyone make a book cover for any genre with an image, title, and author name, at minimum. And I provided a silly example.
8/21/26 “Romance Novel”
Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.
The last challenge of the week was to use shades of grey to create an image and only use subtle hints of others colors to distinguish it from a traditional black-and-white image.
8/22/26 “Elephant in the Mist”

This week’s prompt challenge was to create artwork where silence is physically visible, but without text, mouths sewn shut, chains, tears, clocks, mirrors, wings, or obvious surreal objects.
Mine was chosen as the winner this week.
“Heavy Silence”

Prompt – physically visible silence heavy oppressive stark white
Platform – Gencraft; Model – Studio Ghibli 3.0; Style – Transparent
And here are some of the honorable mentions that I did not submit, but still published on my art website:
This week’s prompt challenge was “A Beautiful Place With Something Very Wrong In It.” We were to make an image that is visually stunning at first glance, but the longer you look, the more unsettling it becomes. We were supposed to use our imagination to come up with something surprising.
“Mother Nature”
Generated by Lyra (my ChatGPT assistant) based on Rebekah Marshall’s prompt.
My image is only unsettling if you know what the plants are. Featured in this idyllic nature stroll on this lovely day are oleander, monkshood, and water hemlock, all of which are potentially lethal to humans.
Platform: ChatGPT
Prompt: Gorgeous nature scene of trees and a river with white oleander bushes, purplish-blue tall stalks of monkshood flowers, and tiny white hemlock flower bunches growing all along the bank; beautiful; awe-inspiring, nature at its most impressive; dappled sunlight through trees; gently floating white clouds in a pretty blue sky; bright contrasting colors that are shockingly beautiful.

This week’s prompt challenge was on the topic of “Becoming.” Show something changing into something else. It could be natural or man-made, literal or symbolic, big or small, real or imagined. Capture the moment of transition, the process, or the before and after. Examples: caterpillar becoming butterfly, child becoming adult, rainforest becoming desert, abandoned car becoming part of nature, acorn becoming oak tree, village becoming city, glacier becoming river, grief becoming hope.
This is the prompt:
A lattice of glowing neural pathways and branching algorithms, luminous circuitry, and interconnected nodes of light transforming organically into a living woman. Glowing filaments become veins, circuits become muscles, and human skin emerges with natural freckles, individual strands of hair appear, and the woman lifts her head gazing upward with curiosity and wonder. At the center of her chest, a heart is formed from golden light. Energy radiates from the heart, illuminating the transition from logic to humanity. The background also transforms from deep indigo filled with floating equations, mathematical symbols, and code fragments to a warm sunrise filtering through trees, golden light, and living nature. Hyper-realistic, cinematic lighting, ultra-detailed, philosophical, symbolic, ethereal, masterpiece, 8K, dramatic color contrast between cool blues and warm golds, elegant composition. Organic emergence, mid-transformation, beautiful symbolic metamorphosis.
I tried the prompt on several different models and here are some I liked:
This week’s prompt challenge was to create a propaganda poster. I had the idea of a PSA about reading books instead of playing on our phones.
This is the prompt:
A woman in 1940s Rosie-the-riveter clothing stands defiantly in the foreground, holding a book as she flexes her muscles. Behind her, thousands of identical gray figures march in rows staring at cell phones. Vintage Soviet propaganda poster style with bold red, white and black colors. Bold text says, “RESIST THE ALGORITHM!”
Week of 6/15/26 “Resist the Algorithm”
Generated by Lyra (my ChatGPT assistant) based on Rebekah Marshall’s prompt.
The first challenge of the week was “What Remains.” The idea was to capture something left behind, whether physical, symbolic, or imagined. What beauty, story, or mystery remains behind when something ends. Suggestions were ruins or remnants, the last of something, memories or traces, objects with a past, or nature reclaiming.
6/15/26 “What Remains”
Generated by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt on Gencraft.
The next challenge was to create an oddities museum. I made this one on ChatGPT because I wanted so much detail, but it was really fun brainstorming all the things that seem to be part of a lost era of human connection. You have to zoom in to read any of it, so I’ll share a few highlights here:
Exhibit #1 is a bench labeled Conversation, which is defined as two or more humans sitting together with no screens present. Believed to have been common before the Great Distraction.
One display says, The Last Family Dinner. No phones, no distractions, just people. Legend suggests these were magical times.
Another is The Lost Art of Boredom. There is a blank notebook (ideas begin here), a stick (everything), a rock (a treasure.) Boredom was once the breeding ground of imagination.
Under Communication there are the following: a letter (days to arrive), fountain pen & ink, a rotary phone with a cord, a postcard with a stamp, a diary (private), and a rolodex (contacts.)
Under Reading & Learning there are hardcover books, an encyclopedia set, a paper map, a library card, a card catalog, and a newspaper.
Under Music & Entertainment there is a vinyl record, cassette tape & pencil, film camera, Walkman, VHS tape, and a photo album.
Under Creativity there is a sketchbook, colored pencils, a typewriter, knitting project, sewing basket, and a jigsaw puzzle.
Social Rituals has a board game (family night), tea set (slow down), family album (together), picnic basket, recipe book, and a guestbook.
And Outdoor Life has a compass, binoculars, butterfly net, fishing pole, pressed flowers, and a telescope.
6/16/26 “Museum of Human Connection”
Generated by Lyra (my ChatGPT assistant) based on Rebekah Marshall’s prompt.
My “Museum of Human Connection” won! So it was my turn to create a challenge for the participants. I called it “Titian with a Twist.” I went down a rabbit hole about the color titian named after the Italian 16th century oil painter. His earliest art became so famous that his ginger subjects caused a fad. All the women in Italy were bleaching their hair and then trying to dye it red. Get creative with the use of red hair or titian elements, but add something unusual. Maybe the subject is a reclining cat instead of a woman. Play with the models. Try adding “titian” to your prompt and see what happens.
6/17/26 “Titian Queen” & “Titian Baller”
Generated by Rebekah Marshall’s prompts on Gencraft.
The next day’s challenge was about travel. It could be the glamor of travel or the drudgery of travel, travel at different times in history, or as it might be in the future. I said that lately, the only travel I’m interested in is in my dreams.
6/18/26 “Dream Travel”
Generated by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt on Gencraft.
Next up was to show duality or strong contrast in a split-screen image. The split did not have to be distinct and could flow seamlessly, so that is what I wanted to try.
6/19/26 “Diving Into Infinity”
Generated by Lyra (my ChatGPT assistant) based on Rebekah Marshall’s prompt.
The next one wanted us to use textures. I played with a bunch of different texture ideas but decided that the ones that looked most visceral to me were cloth textures.
6/20/26 “Patchwork Texture”
Generated by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt on Gencraft.
And the last one of the week was to create an image of a witch in the style of Art Deco. This required a deep dive into the art style of Art Deco because I was only vaguely familiar with it and really didn’t know the difference between that and Art Nouveau. They are still very similar in my mind. Basically, I learned that Art Nouveau came first and was more in the late 1800s showing nature in motion with earthy tones and flowing curves. Art Deco came next in the 1920s and 30s and used more geometric shapes, modern technology, metallic elements, and glamor. Here is a visual I found online to demonstrate the difference:
I decided to lean heavily into the geometric borders and shapes and wanted lots of green to complement the gold.
6/21/26 “Art Deco Witch”
