A calm pond whose ripples grow with the sound level in the room.
Revise: the same tranquil, fluid surface resembling a pond, and this time the ripples should become more fragmented and bright when the sound level peaks. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1008 published generation 1
Revise: the same tranquil, deep-water surface, and this time the ripples should expand vertically to cover a wider portion of the canvas. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1064 published generation 2
Revise: the same deep, tranquil body of water, and this time the ripples become brightly illuminated and highly fragmented at peak sound. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1128 not published generation 3
This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.
generation 3 — waits for a person
