An Art Prompt Generator, An Almond Croissant

Cool! This lo-fi page will generate ideas for you to draw upon
(heh heh...get it...? Drawww upon. Heh.)

I suggest changing the 'difficulty' to "Elaborate". Even if you don't use what you're given, the results can be pretty amusing.
Some examples:

-  Create a portrait of someone who is not an android. Use a minimalist style.
-  Create a realistic portrait of a cartoon character. Prompt: the owl from the steeple sing.
-  This is a portrait of a knight. Portray something translucent or transparent, like glass or water.
-  Try to evoke the quality of worry using only dark colors. Theme: self-gratification.
-  Using secondary colors, create a picture of a cold and deadly courtesan in the ruined parts of a city. Theme: a sound like thunder.

Whoo! That last one is a doozey.

This has nothing to do with anything, except it was delicious and easy. Trader Joe's sells almond and chocolate croissants in their freezer section. You proof them (let them rise) at room temperature overnight and they literally quadruple in size. Bake them for 20 minutes, slap'em on a pretty plate and cue the French accordion music. Trader Joe's, you are my little gentleman.

Sometimes I draw things

This is how I usually work:
Step 1: Have awesome idea. Plan out idea and all tangential ideas that spawn from initial idea until adrenaline runs it's course and I need a nap.
Step 2: Procrastinate.
Step 3: Procrastinate.
Step 4: "Hey...what was that thing I was gonna work on? Oh! Cool idea #4,563! I have notes on that...somewhere....Hmmm. Ooooh...wait. I should really hem that dress...While my sewing machine is out...I should probably...."
Step 5: See Step 1.
Step 6: Procrastinate.
Step 7: Ferocious flurry of dedicated action and focus lasting a few days' time, during which I actually produce something I'm proud to say I've done.

In a past life, I wanted to draw pretty pictures for a living. I got distracted by life-in-general and never really forced myself to make it work, though. I'm totally o.k. with choosing the path I went down, but every now and then, the spark to draw is pretty irresistible and I can completely disappear into my my head and my hands to make something happen.

This is a work in progress, but I like it so far. I'm hoping to use it and some other drawings on a project I'm working on with a dear friend.

Yay, making stuff!!
