My Steemit Symbol in AI Form Contest:" Owl Ears On"
As soon as I saw this contest, I felt drawn to join right away. As a teacher, I find it very useful at school. So, I need to learn this. But... As I sat down to sort out my idea, boom! My brain turns to slow-mo mode. Omg, this contest got my brain working overtime. I thought it would be easy, but nope. Anyway, let’s do this.
Okay, let’s start with A.I
I see AI on Steemit becoming a quiet partner. How exactly? Yup, we’re in this era for real now. It’s something we have to take in and make sense of. Of course, it should not replace uniqueness. It’s just there to assist, not to do all the work for you.
Now, if I were to come up with a Steemit symbol... It would be, "An Owl with Headphones."
For me, Steemit is like a wise owl- quiet, sharp, and always creating.
The headphones show how Steemit is in tune with its users. Listening quietly, offering support (just like AI), but never loud or forceful... Not to take control.
Let`s go!
I didn’t sign up for anything paid. When I get the prompt wrong, I have no choice but to try a different generator. That held me back from doing more. I need to wait a day for the free credits to refresh.
Here, this is the idea I turned into an image using AI.
First thing I did? I asked AI to help with the prompts.
I just copied and pasted it into Leonardo AI.

Prompt:
"A hyper-realistic owl perched on a wooden branch, intelligent and wise expression in its eyes, feathers detailed with soft browns and grays, subtle glow in the background suggesting a moonlit forest. The owl looks smart and curious, with a slight head tilt as if it's listening or thinking. Natural lighting, cinematic depth of field, ultra-detailed textures, realistic wildlife photography style."
I forgot to add the headphones. So, I used Playground AI mainly to put the headphones on.
I enhanced it using Playground AI
Prompt:
"Replicate the reference image exactly, same owl pose, same background, same lighting and expression, but with the owl now wearing sleek, modern over-ear headphones. The headphones should blend naturally with the owl’s head, designed in a minimalist tech style, subtle but clearly visible. Preserve the original mood and tone of the image. Realistic illustration."
Then I used Pixverse to make it into a video.

Prompt:
"Use this exact image of a realistic owl wearing headphones. Do not change the owl’s appearance or art style. Animate only light movements: the owl blinks slowly, slightly tilting its head. Add soft moonlight glow in the background. Clearly show the Steemit logo on the side of the headphones. It should be visible and clean, like a sticker or printed design. Vibe is chill, smart, and modern. Total length: 8 seconds.”
I was slowly learning along the way.
I'm eager to learn, so I’ll go for it anyway. Yeah, even when it takes me a bit to get it.
That’s how I learn.
If you are open to using AI here on Steemit, just make sure you’re the one in control and don't forget to acknowledge the source where this came from.
I am inviting @kyrie1234, @jes88 and @tonyoi23 to join this contest.

You should have left the video creation part for the next contest since @steemit-market has planned to do the next round about it. But anyway, you taught us some things, especially that you basically introduced me to Leonardo, Playground, and PixVerse. New names for me.
Nice entry. Thanks.

Omg, another study galore! I still have a lot to learn, so I’m just taking it step by step. I am interested in making short animations. The only problem is that there’s usually a cost, so I can’t explore as much as I’d like. But I really want to join video animation if there is. It’s an achievement for me! Hahaha."
please never upvote my comment, don't waste your energy on comments.
I feel pity for the owl. The heaerng is perfect and I find it animal abuse. As adult qe shouod teach the nature of animals and their super skills.
It would be good if you use the first haahtags to describe the topuc of what you post.
It's not different than how books in library can be found back.
