Daily AI Art Challenges Week of 7/12/26

This first challenge of my week was to create a comic cover in which a monster was the hero or becomes the hero.

7/12/26 “Worm View”

My Unlikely Hero won the challenge, so I came up with the idea of the following: “Awesome Perspective” Create an image from an unexpected point of view. Think like a photographer and choose a composition that is interesting because of the angle. Examples include worm’s-eye view, bird’s-eye view, aerial, macro, extreme close-up, first-person perspective, looking through an object, reflections, underwater, inside an object, or any other creative viewpoint. Any subject. Any style. Make the perspective the cool thing about the image.

The next one occurred on Bastille Day, so the challenge was to create an image of a moment in history. Suggested examples were Hannibal crossing the Alps, the signing of Magna Carta, or the storming of the Bastille (given today’s date!)

I decided to share the following: In 1914, on Christmas Eve, German forces decorated their trenches with small fir trees and lanterns and began singing carols like Stille Nacht (Silent Night). British troops responded by singing their own carols across the dark landscape. Hesitantly, soldiers from both sides met halfway in the muddy, devastated neutral territory. They traded souvenirs, such as buttons, hats, food, and cigarettes, exchanged seasonal greetings, and ventured into “No Man’s Land” to bury fallen comrades and hold joint burial services.

The next day’s challenge was called “Modern Renaissance.” We were to make a classic Renaissance-inspired image but with a modern twist.

Next up was “Glamourise the Unglamourous.”

I decided to glamorize dryer lint. Here is what I shared: “Dryer Lint” You have to blow it up to see the plaques, so I’ll include their text here: Dryer Lint – Rare. Elusive. Essential. Only the purest survive the cycle. Est. 1871. Softness, Perseverance, Devotion, A small sacrifice for immaculate clothing. DL – The unsung Hero of every perfect outfit. Without it, nothing stays flawless. One of a kind. Again, literally. Authenticated by The Lint Collectors Guild. Origin: Maytag Supreme XL Cycle of Legends; Date discovered: March 3, 2024; Weight: 0.0007 oz.

7/16/26 “Dryer Lint”

The next day was challenging because my idea was very confusing for AI. It was to create an image where one impossible thing is happening—but everyone in the scene acts like it is completely ordinary. A whale floating over a grocery store. A giant moon parked beside a house. Make it strange, beautiful, or funny.

7/17/26 “Elevated Dining”

The last day of the week was another Renaissance piece. We were to do a Renaissance oil painting art style. Think Dutch Masters or Italian Renaissance images.

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

Lesson 15 The Way of the Wizard

(Poem 106 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

“To the extent you know love, you become love.” – Deepak Chopra’s The Way of the Wizard    

AI Generated image I prompted on Gencraft.com https://gencraft.ai/p/0CT7bo

Love is a universal force,
not an attachment or
extension of the ego.
The opposite of possession
is an empty vessel ready
to be filled to the brim
with the energy of love
that is freely poured out
by the one who loves.
Rather than wait around
for an image of love to
reflect our own or hope
they repair our brokenness,
why not tap into the source
that can fill the void and
seal the cracks and make
us whole so we can learn
wholehearted true love?
Out beyond memory of
personal past filled with
shame or guilt, rejection
or resentment, lies the
“quiet experience of Being.”
True love is not a void of
lack papered over by
denial, but entering the
essence of self that is the
wellspring of love, the simple
silent home of the beloved.
