Followed @Brenner Schellschmidt 's Sea Turtle Koi Pond build in the prompt vault but took his butterfly design as inspo since purple butterfly is my signature (so obsessed 💜). What do you guys think? I used Google Flow end-to-end -- Nano Banana 2 and Veo 3.1 Fast, turned surprisingly well, I think. Needed to regenerate the tiling part a couple of times as my "workers" had a hard time actually placing the tiles, probably because of the intricate design with the wing veins and stuff, but got mostly the rest of the shots in one take. Pain point: Having to customize the prompts to make them "my own" especially since the first reference image is already shaped, ended up with a lot of mutant-like combination of a turtle and a butterfly 😂 but all in all a good experience - learned a lot! Thanks so much for this course! Still a long way to go but getting there.
