Art from Week 1, April 2026.
Assortment of my AI artwork for the PixAroma Discord daily art challenge
Mar 28 - A minotaur warrior
My entry was loosely based on Minotaur sounding like miniature 😄
Mar 29 - Medusa living a normal life in the present day
Because Medusa's snakes freeze the viewers, one of my ideas was based on a police officer
The next idea was based on snakes attacking rodents.
I also had a disco-inspired song.
Mar 30 - Made from ferrofluid
One of the discord members mentioned he had to look up what ferrofluid meant 😃 That reminded me of a joke "I was absent from school that day" which naturally made me think of Ferris Bueller.
I also made a disco song inspired by the previous day's cover, replacing Medusa's snakes on her hair with ferrofluid spikes.
Mar 31 - A sheep jumping a Fence
Apr 1 - Photoshoot of a creepy creature
I was really pressed for time on April 1st so my idea was inspired by the previous day's challenge about sheep jumping the fence.
Apr 2 - Mosquito Wanted Poster
I idn't want an actual mosquito, which many of the other members were featuring, but I was inspired by the old mosquito airplane.
For WANTED, I took inspiration from a popular AI video model WAN and TED from Ted Talks. Instead of WAN I prefer a video model LTX2, which is a lot faster.
Apr 3 - The tooth fairy after a very long night shift
I was flattered that one of the members in Discord said his wife really appreciated my country music song about the Tooth Fairy. I had created it via ChatGPT->Suno.
Apr 4 - Creative Easter Egg
BONUS: LTX 2.3 video workflow
A special thank you to discord user Maartificial from Amsterdam who kindly shared a LTX2.3 workflow to create music videos up to 25 seconds long locally in just 4 minutes!
I may be modifying it to use Google Gemini or ChatGPT via API to produce the long prompt based upon the input image. At present I am using ChatGPT to assist.
On another note, another really stunning video, the best example of AI video I saw this, was FullSpeed, created by Bill, whom I met on the Pixaroma discord server. He created this for an AI video contest.
In 2026 talented individuals are able to create such quality with storytelling that had a great plot twist at the end, that in my mind rivals professional TV studios. This is what I aspire to do when I get more free time or retire.
What a great time to be alive!
