Daily AI Art Challenges Week of 8/2/26

August 17, 2026 rebekahjmarshall Leave a comment

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”

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”

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”

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”

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.

8/8/26 “Survival of the Fittest”

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”

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

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”

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.

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”

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.

7/27/26 “Apothecary of Borrowed Time”

The next challenge was to create an image that included an anthropomorphic animal with their vehicle.

7/28/26 “Ol’ Bubba”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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.

Weekly AI Prompt Challenge Week of 7/5/26

July 15, 2026 rebekahjmarshall Leave a comment

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.

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”

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”

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”

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 6/28/26

I won the prompt challenge last week with the images of My AI Becoming Conscious, so it was my turn to come up with an idea. Here is what I came up with: This week’s prompt challenge is to show something seemingly ordinary with a hidden interior that is magical, infinitesimal, or creative. For example, a body containing every star in the universe, a clock containing all of humanity, a teacup containing an ocean, or an eye containing a little girl’s hopes and dreams.

Visual Example: “Suitcase City”

This is the prompt:

a suitcase containing an entire city super detailed with skyscrapers and houses churches and roads

Gencraft – Model: 40% Olaf’s-Whimgear 3.0.

Everyone was really creative and did some beautiful pieces. One was a garden glove with an entire garden in the palm of the hand. Another was a coffee cup filled with an ocean, sea creatures, and waves. Another one was a work drawer pulled out in a greasy, technical, tool-filled shop with a utopian pasture with sheep and sunlight inside the drawer. The winner ended up being a pocket watch containing an entire tiny civilization made of gears and little watch parts. They were very detailed and creative.

Here is another one that turned out good that I published on Gencraft.

Daily AI Art Challenges Week of 6/28/26

This week’s art challenges took a bit of art and research, so I learned some interesting tidbits of information.

The first challenge of the week was “The Beauty of Decay.” The creator of the challenge loves to explore abandoned buildings like an empty hotel in the Cyprus Mountains, a mafia-related vacant mansion in PortugaI, and a secret soviet ghost town in Latvia. I had the idea to show a crumbling cathedral and was hoping to show a broken statue of Mary and baby Jesus, but AI is programmed not to be disrespectful of religious relics, so it was tricky to get anything like I was imagining.

6/28/26 “Faith Decay”

The next challenge was the great outdoors and could be hiking, camping, hunting, or just exploring nature, but the idea was to demonstrate awe for the majesty of nature.

6/29/26 “Nature Awe”

The next one was called “The Evidence” and challenged us to create an image that makes the viewer wonder, “What happened here?” There is evidence of a happening, but the questions are not necessarily answered. Something strange, mysterious, or magical has occurred.

6/30/26 “Where Are The People?”

The next day’s challenge was inspired by the upcoming July 4^th holiday and the fact that this is an international group, so we were asked to think of something we like about where we are from to share with others about the culture, traditions, history, or food, etc. I thought a long time about something I really like about the ideal of the Texas I am from.

Here is what I wrote along with my image submission: I was born in Texas, and though I am not at all proud of some of the things happening in our politics, schools, and courts, I was raised by good people who love and welcome the well-intentioned with open arms. My family is multi-racial, multi-cultural, and more open-minded than some. I love the old-fashioned gentleness, belief in being a good neighbor, reciprocating kindness, and being part of community. People where I live still tip their hats, wave to strangers, and welcome diversity. I guess it’s those sincere, truly kind values that I am most proud of.

7/1/26 “Howdy Stranger”

Next up was a complex one. It was about Japanese yōkai, which are supernatural entities, spirits, and monsters in Japanese folklore. This one I had to research and finally settled on one I found creepy and fascinating.

Here is what I included with my image submission: According to Google – “A Noppera-bō blends perfectly into human society. It usually positions itself on quiet roads at night with its back turned away from an approaching traveler, often disguised as a distressed young woman crying. When the concerned traveler approaches and asks what is wrong, the yōkai turns around and dramatically wipes its face with its hand, instantly causing its eyes, nose, and mouth to vanish. According to legends, they often work in pairs or groups. If a terrified victim runs away and finds a local merchant or bystander to tell them what happened, that bystander will listen quietly before asking, ‘Did the face look something like this?’—and then wipe away their features too. In many traditional tales, the Noppera-bō is not an independent ghost, but rather the temporary disguise of an animal shape-shifter.”

7/2/26 “Noppera-bō”

The next day was challenging and a little dark. The idea was a precipice overlooking a life-and-death-type decision but finding hope in the darkness. It took a ton of tweaking of the models to get what I wanted. The final result was close.

7/3/26 “To Be”

The next day was about zombies and a unique image related to zombies. I thought about the fact that we don’t often see child zombies and had a really hard time getting any of the models to work with me. There are massive restrictions around any artwork depicting kids and horror, so it was complicated.

7/4/26 “Zombie Playtime”

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 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”
