Weekly AI Prompt Challenge Week of 8/23/26

This week’s Prompt Challenge was called “Classic Horror.” We were supposed to create an original horror piece using at least three classic horror clichés in one cohesive scene. No villains, characters, movies, or references to existing horror franchises were allowed.

“Enduring Love”

All the rest of these images created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompts using AI on Gencraft.com website.

Prompt: Close up of a skeleton hand holding a large bouquet of flowers by the stems and placing them on the ground near the base of an ancient gravestone by dim moonlight. The flowers on laying on the ground with the hand still touching them.

Platform: Gencraft;

Model: Olafs-Whimgear 3.0

Style: Polaroid

Mine was chosen as the winner this week.

“Heavy Silence”

These images created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompts using AI on Gencraft.com website.

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:

Daily AI Art Challenges Week of 8/9/26

This first challenge of the week was called “Borrowed Light”. We were to create an image where the light is reflected or indirect.

8/9/26 “Illumination”

These images created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompts using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The next challenge was to demonstrate “Surreal silliness”. We were going for playful, chaotic, humorous visuals. It was also described as exaggerated proportions, cartoonish lighting, bright, saturated colors, and a mood of joyful absurdity.

8/10/26 “Maximum Shenanigans”

The next challenge was to depict the five elements (water, fire, air, earth, and ice) with smooth transitions between elements and a slight surrealist touch.

8/11/26 “Elemental Beauty”

The next day’s challenge was called “A Mother’s Quiet Light” and was to depict a serene, loving moment between mother and child. I decided to show love as sacrifice.

8/12/26 “This Is Love”

The next challenge was to recreate an image we were given as accurately as possible and focus on composition, proportion, perspective, lighting, facial expression, texture, depth, and atmosphere. We were supposed to capture the same cinematic feeling and level of detail rather than simply drawing the individual elements. Reference Image from creator Junio:

8/13/26 “Journey With Junio”

For the next one, the idea was to create an image of a scene you’re not supposed to see: through a window of a neighbor, through the crack of a door left open, etc.

8/14/26 “Gaming Granny”

The last challenge of the week was to make the viewer think of danger first and delicacy second. The art should look scary or dangerous, but actually be made of soft material.

8/15/26 “Dragon Doll”

And here are some of the honorable mentions that I did not submit, but still published on my art website:

Daily AI Art Challenges Week of 8/2/26

This first challenge of the week was to create art where weather exists inside a person, animal, room or object—but nowhere else.

8/2/26 “Make Your Own Weather”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The next challenge was titled “The Person Who Feels Like Home.” The idea was to show emotional connection and warmth, belonging and trust in an image.

8/3/26 “BFFs”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The next challenge was about transformation and that moment when a solid, liquid, or gas is changing to another state. I chose the word becoming flesh, story coming to life, ink turning from solid to liquid to smoke and on to another transformation.

8/4/26 “Alchemy of Story”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The next day’s challenge was to depict a cause that we support or that is close to our hearts. I chose protection of pregnant women. 25% of women globally experience violence at the hands of their romantic partners when they are pregnant or postpartum. Pregnant women are 40% more likely to be murdered than non-pregnant women. 65% of all pregnant women who are murdered die at the hands of a current or former intimate partner. 80% of domestic violence survivors who own pets report that their abusive partner has threatened, harmed, or killed their companion animals (used as a deliberate tool for psychological coercion.) I am passionate about protecting all women, but especially the most vulnerable and their beloveds (animals, children, etc.)

8/5/26 “She Matters”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The next challenge was to create an ordinary daytime scene with moons hidden in impossible places. Mine was not impossible, but had lots of moons.

8/6/26 “Many Moons”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.

For the next one, we were supposed to create a scene of mass invasion in a sci-fi, horror, or fantasy setting (no zombies or robots allowed.) I thought of my sister’s horde of wiener dogs and how when they all run in a pack they are like a swarm of invading aliens. lol

8/7/26 “Dachshund Invasion”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The last challenge of the week was fashion show, only it had to be outrageous. Weird, ugly mix of patterns, sculptured, structural, etc. Worst dressed fashion sort of esthetic. I thought of things like bones, teeth, and eyes that could be really cool.

“Survival of the Fittest” – Darwin never specified how the fittest should dress. Draped in scales, teeth, ancient bones, and watchful eyes, this evolutionary ensemble turns millions of years of adaptation and a few unfortunate extinctions into haute couture. On this runway, we’re all about natural selection.

Weekly AI Prompt Challenge Week of 7/26/26

This week’s prompt challenge was to write a prompt that will create a person who represents opposing concepts or elements, such as chaos and order, fire and water, etc. I chose sharp, rigid and bright contrasting with soft, curvy, and pastel.

“Curves & Corners”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.

Prompt – A front view surreal portrait of a beautiful African American woman with long, naturally curly flowing hair. The image is divided conceptually at her waist, everything above is soft, organic, flowing, and rounded, including the background image of flowing sky. Her clothing above her waist is loose and ethereal with flowing chiffon, billowing sleeves, gentle folds, swirling ribbons, soft curves, elegance, circles, orbs, swirling clouds, rounded forms, graceful waves, smooth gradients, delicate mist, pastel and muted colors, blended, dreamy, feminine, soft. Below her waist the skirt crystallizes into sharp angular geometry. Faceted polygons, jagged shards, triangles, diamonds, hard edges, sharp corners, fractured crystalline planes, sharp folds, Cubist architecture, geometric abstraction, rigid structures, loud clashing colors, black accents, bold graphic contrast. The landscape behind her lower half is angular buildings, polygonal streets, fractured perspective, sharp architecture.

Platform – ChatGPT

Weekly AI Prompt Challenge Week of 7/19/26

This week’s prompt challenge was to write a prompt that will create an image of a building that defies gravity and physics, such as a skyscraper built of water or a castle resting on the back of a whale. I decided to make mine out of paper in the spine of a book.

“Origami Book Village”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

Prompt – A whimsical origami town built entirely from giant folded sheets of paper and scraps of newspaper rises up from the pages of an open book. Geometric folds with sharp creases and patchwork paper engineering form every palace, cathedral, tower, bridge, staircase, archway, rooftop, fortress wall and home. The surfaces show faint ink sketches, faded diagrams, typeprint, and calligraphy. Realistic paper texture and hodgepodge of mismatched pieces. Pretty blue sky with a few fluffy clouds, tiny people wandering the streets of the city. The entire town should look delicate and fragile, a paper village.

Gencraft – Model: 40% Olafs-Whimgear 3.0.

Style – Cartoon.

This first challenge of my week was to use the framing technique of dead space where a portion of the frame is left unoccupied or uninteresting to force the viewer’s eye to the main subject.

7/26/26 “Pool Time”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The next challenge was to create a magical pharmacy. Since Time is the Rarest Medicine, some of the prescriptions are An Unhurried Morning, Childhood (limited Supply), One Long Goodbye, Borrowed Youth, Second Chances, Time to Heal, One Summer Afternoon, and Five More Minutes. Dosage – as needed. Side Effects – No Regrets. Please return borrowed time promptly.

7/28/26 “Ol’ Bubba”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The next day’s challenge was to include a classic horror character from a list of old classics including the one I chose, The Invisible Man. Yes, he’s naked in my image. The horror!

7/29/26 “Dancing with the Invisible Man”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.

The next challenge was to create a home interior where the furniture, windows, patterns, and objects subtly form one enormous hidden face. Mine won the challenge!

7/30/26 “Hearth & Soul”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

Since my “Hearth & Soul” won, I got to make up the next challenge. However, the other AI artists were quite impatient waiting for me. They had already made some art expressing their displeasure that I thought was funny.

I kept it simple and said that today’s challenge must include water and something or someone partially submerged.

7/31/26 “Quiet Waters”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The last challenge of the week had to include a lesser known Marvel or DC character. I chose “Rose Tattoo” who was part of the Wildstorm Universe and is the living incarnation of Murder. Wildstorm was bought by DC, so it counts.

8/1/26 “Rose Tattoo”

Weekly AI Prompt Challenge Week of 7/12/26

This week’s prompt challenge was “JOY” containing no humans in the image. Emotion expressed through objects only.

“Dandelion Joy”

These images created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompts using AI on Gencraft.com website.

Gencraft – Model: 40% Studio Ghibli3.0.

Prompt – Hundreds of dandelion seeds float into the sky from dandelions in a field. Beauty, nature, sunlight, breeze. A butterfly flutters by in a bright blue sky and a white cloud drifts lazily.

And here are some of the honorable mentions that I did not submit, but still published on my art website:

Weekly AI Prompt Challenge Week of 7/5/26

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.

Daily AI Art Challenges Week of 7/5/26

My first art challenge on Discord this week was to create an emotive, romantic, atmospheric image that uses a famous artist as a reference. I did some reading about different artists that might lend to a fun romantic style and decided to focus on Marc Chagall. According to Google, “Marc Chagall is known for painting lovers floating in dreamlike, colorful landscapes, frequently featuring couples drifting above towns in moments of pure, peaceful tranquility.”

7/5/26 “Chagall Romance”

The next challenge was to bring a mushroom to life as some kind of personification.

7/6/26 “Lion’s Mange Sage”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on ChatGPT.

The next one was called “Through the Looking Glass” inspired by Lewis Carroll. We were to create an image exploring what lies beyond the familiar. Whether mirrors as portals, reflections telling stories, or inside out realities, the image was supposed to be imaginative. It could be fantastical, beautiful, eerie, humorous, or personal. This one took a long time to get any semblance of what I was imagining. My caption said, “Sometimes the reality through the looking glass is what can sustain us through hard times.”

7/7/26 “Through the Looking Glass”

The next day’s challenge was inspired by the sporting season happening around the world, like the World Cup football in the US, Canada, and Mexico, and Wimbledon tennis in the UK. So it was all about balls. Any size, shape, or form of ball could be featured. I’m not sure if mine fully met the requirements, but I decided to go with the way people bet on sports and the silly notion that they would even bet on the size of a bubble gum bubble.

7/8/26 “Betting on the Bubble”

The next challenge was “Opposites Attract.”

7/9/26 “Opposites Attract”

The next day challenge was to show what we do on rainy days. I, of course, had to show myself napping.

7/10/26 “Rainy Day Nap”

Image created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompt using AI on Gencraft.com website.

The last day of the week was called “Alone, But Not Lost.” The idea was to create an image featuring a person alone in a wide, open place—any setting that feels vast and quiet. The person should appear calm, strong, and certain of where they are going, not frightened, abandoned, or helpless.

7/11/26 “View Alone”
