Art from week 2, May 2026
May 4th. Four Warriors
My ChatGPT-prompted image was well received and one person even commented "You have good taste" - besides Link from Zelda, I don't even know who the other three characters are!
May 5th. Sci-Fi tractor
I first had a corny idea.
Animation via Seedance 2
May 6th. La La La
this full-blown music video was created by putting the ChatGPT lyrics into Suno and feeding that into Openart. OpenArt has a legacy tool that converts a music MP3 video into a full-blown video. It takes about 10 minutes to generate the video. No prompting required and it uses about 6,000 credits, which is about $6 worth.
This one was inspired by an old song, Tom Jones in the 1970's.
May 7th. Lobster Time
This one was inspired by a colourful lobster on MidJourney. The font was based on Rolling Stone Manazine, and of course the image was done using Openart which has my character saved.
I used Google search and NanoBanana to create the start and end frames and animated the cuckoo clock in Kling 3.0.
May 8th, 8 o'clock
I was prescient: yesterday's lobster cuckoo clock could also double up as an entry for today's art challenge ;)
For this entry it took several edits to get the hourglass 8 positioned in the right location with its shadow on the numeral 8 as if it's a sundial too.
For my second entry I wanted a chinese mouse slurping his last noodle and placing his chopsticks in his plate, which forms 8 o'clock like a clock face. The original image was GPT image 2 but for editing I used Gemini, that is NanoBanana model.
In general I'm finding that GPT Image 2 usually gives an excellent original image that is fine in most cases, but for editing NanoBanana Pro seems better.
My final entry was inspired by a 17-year-old Toyota commercial, that I learned about in the weekly newsletter from 42 courses.
So once again while it's been a very busy week, I even took two vacation days off from work to do home chores, I continue to practice my art every morning for about an hour.
