#27 Lifeform.

Here's an alternative crreation for the prompt of the 27th where I made the flying bee.

It's a stochastic L-system which I overlayed multiple times to get this kind-of-realistic look. L-systems are so awesome. I will create some with 3 dimensions and leaves and blossoms. Maybe I try to implement them in Blender for a generative grass, wood or something else in nature.

Now the Genuary is over and I plan to develop a challenge for March. If you want to brainstorm about such a challenge just write me.

#31 GLSL Shader.

It's already #Gebruary but this prompt is one from #Genuary I post afterwards. But included in my overview from yesterday: tilde.zone/@w4v3/1159904664708

For GLSL there is no ready-to-go noise function, so I adapted the one from the well-known "Book of Shaders" and combined it with the rectangle grid but for each rectangle a seperate mapping. And it is definitely a base I will work on. Improving GLSL Shader language is also important for game development, for water shaders, sky. But you know all that already.

Have a wonderful and creative February!

It's a grid of rectangles each showing a cloud like noise-pattern in different brightness values. All in white, grey and black.

#28 No libraries, no canvas, only HTML elements.

There are many elements but because I was late with this prompt I already saw buttons and checkboxes, so I picked the slider and experimented.

And yes, I'm curious what I could do with sliders in the future - beside a slide puzzle. ;)

20 slider, 10 on the left and 10 on the right, and the buttons on them forming a circle.

Done. Finished.

Genuary was again a lot of fun and it expanded my knowledge. But the most impotant fact is that is was a kind community with many comments and likes and folowing each other. So, we made it!

Thank you very much for every like, every repost and the new follower I deeply appreciate!

What is the next challenge?
Something in February? Generative Plant-uary? Or Art-ch? Let me know.

Me, I will post the alternative creations over the next days and it would be nice to stay in contact.
Have a happy coding, drawing and living in 2026.

#27 Lifeform.

With multiple layers of sine and cosine the minimalistic bee (or fly) presents herself to us. I made a plant with an L-System for this prompt, too, but I chose the cute one. The plant will be posted the next days.

Also, I try to post the not shared prompts today.

Will you continue watching for creations after the Genuary? Because I plan to share all the alternatives that were produced during this month from time to time.

#19 16x16.

A simple random pattern? Yes, but I finished all the prompts. Some fast and some needed their time.
The simplest are not the worst, but the ideas are important. Art is awesome.

Do you like art? Do you visit museums or unknown artists?

#30 Its not a bug, its a feature.

To explain to you, it's not a bug that there are two dots and an arc, it's a feature. And yes, some fun at the end of Genuary has to be included.

When I made the first monthly challenges I was stressed and focus on good results. But as soon as I lifted fun to the top leader I learned much more and developed during every challenge. Last october I learned sculpting from scratch during Sculptober. So, let us smile together today that we produced awesome creations.

What do you smile about today?

It's a sun-like shape made with a sin/cos above the sin/cos to create a circle. And in the middle the feature: a cute face.

#29 Genetic evolution and mutation.

What you see in four steps is the cell division created with a metaball algorithm. You should know that my two favorites in generative art are metaballs and noise. And they are both similar because the results look like organic fluid or very soft materials.

Also, I thought to try these 4 quadrants instead of an animation because often you do not have time to watch a whole animation. But both have their existence.

Four states of a cell division with black dots on white background in four quadrants.

#17 Wallpaper group.

With a triangular pattern the result was not as I expected, so I switched to this one and it's simple but for me at least much nicer.

Did you ever use a wallpaper with a pattern on your walls?

Me, I used strong saturated colors in a apartment many years ago and it was inspiring and also interesting that people prefered being in the rooms with warmer colors including myself. And yes, while I'm writing this line, I think of coloring the walls again, even though they are special currently.

Zikzak lines parallel in groups building a Wallpaper pattern. Black and White.

#25 Organic Geometry.

Just one word: Shrink wrap. Oh, that's two words. I know it as a modifier in #blender3d but here I created it myself in 2D. I didn't want to code Metaballs (I did for another prompt that isn't posted yet), so I created random circles and a huge circle around that gets smaller and smaller, and the parts getting in contact with the inner circles stays at their place while the others drift more to the center.

Too complicated? Just look at it. I like the result and the forms the algorithm produced.

Do you see a fly, a lemon, a tooth, a head, ...? What do you see?

Nine different organic forms in a grid looking like cells, teeth, fruits and other shapes.

#21 Bauhaus Poster.

After looking at some examples I decided I have to use color this time. And I created a vintage palette and transformed one of the examples in my own creation. Afterwards I thought about making the upper and right edges little reflective to give it a 3D look but that's an extension for another time.

Do you like vintage colors or do you prefer saturation or just black and white?

Vintage colors and forms converting from a top left rectangle to a bottom right circle.

#26 Recursive Grid.

After playing around with recursive shapes I chose the triangle. One black, one transparent building a rectangle together.
Not as awesome as most of the other creations for this prompt but I call it done.

I really like recursive patterns, fractals and other algorithms resulting in unexpected art.

Take this sage advice from a Wise Hippie and "Simplify, man." No matter What problem you're either facing or avoiding, there ARE ways to get through it; around it; or, endure it. Chunking down your problem into smaller, simpler, More manageable pieces HELPS!

Have a wonderful day and HANG TOUGH!

#20 One line.

Minimalistic. For this prompt I also rendered about 10 creations. Big spirals, small, narrow and wide, combinations with multople ones. I chose this simple one looking like the home of a snail.

Not only one line but the one place for every snail to feel comfortable, safe and happy. I wish you such a place, too.

#24 Perfectionist’s nightmare.

The question is if Genuary is perfect or a nightmare. I think it's something in between. But what I am sure about: It's fun!
This creation was my first try, I made some others with curves and bigger distances but I went back to the first one. Simple but not perfect.

Are you a perfectionist or more the chaotic person?

Black lines being accurate in the bottom but on the top they are chaotic.

#23 Transparency.

Fur? Hair? Almost. I chose a vector flow field which is a grid of vectors with an angle from a perlin noise value.
But I kept the stroke weight I had for all the Genuary prompts this year. After playing around with about 3-5 variables this was my favorite.

After this month I plan to post all the versions that didn't make it to my favorites. Would you be interested in those?

A noise vector flow field looking like fur in black and white.

#16 Order and disorder.

It's such an importance in life to order the right things and to let go others. Everywhere I find this balanced duo. Music, art, groups of people, ...

What do you tend more to create? Ordered life or the magical chaos?

Black rectangles in a grid but in the bottom left they are tilted and moved as if they would tumble around.

#15 Create an invisible object where only the shadows can
be seen.

My method were ellipses shown little less than half of it and getting more transparent. I like those forms magically appearing from nothing.

Being late is hopefully better than to stop. :)

A sphere that's just visible by its shadows.

#18 Unexpected Path.

What's the worst during a monthly challenge like Genuary? No wifi, no router, no connection. I am far behind with posting the prompts.
I decided to start posting the current one and step by step adding the last ones.

That's my unexpected path. As art and in real life.

Hopefully you are healthy and happy!
