Do Exactly What the Creative Prompt Machine Hands you⤴

from

Today’s TDC  says:

You have one creative task today. Do not stray from the instructions. Do not pass Go. Do not spit on the sidewalk. Do not disobey.

Ready? Go to the Creative Prompt Machine and Turn the Machine On.

The prompt it gave me is:

Make a comic strip for that time Puff the Magic Dragon went to Machu Piccu [sic] only to discover to get home they had to enjoy a picnic of cheese and crackers.

I cheated – it’s a busy day at work and I don’t have time to draw all that or find some comic strip software, so here’s an image from NightCafe

And you know what – apart from the words being nonsense (probably) it’s really captured what I asked it to do.

Turner and the Dragon⤴

from

Today is St George’s Day, and today’s Daily Create celebrates that and asks us to “make some art to celebrate this auspicious day”. April 23rd is also Turner’s birthday, and I wanted to make something to mix these two days together.

I knew Turner had painted dragons, so I looked for inspiration and found this:

I loved the dragon detail in this picture, and especially as recreated by Arthur Burgess, and that gave me an idea.

I was sure that I had doodled a dragon at some point, and sure enough I had:

I took this image and uploaded it to NightCafe and asked it to transform this doodle into “An oil painting in the style of Turner”. This is what it gave me:

I’m pretty pleased with this.
