Another Eye Appeared Next to the Whale's Eye.

The illustrations were finished.

But once I put them on the screen, something felt a little lacking.

They were too still.

It was a sleep scene, so nothing needed to move dramatically.

But a little movement would be nice.

The whale's tail moving slightly.

Its eyes slowly closing.

The clouds drifting just a little.

That was enough.

I asked AI.

"Can you make movements like these from a single image?"

Apparently, it was possible.

"Then let's try moving just the whale's tail a little."

We tried it.

A mess.

The whale's tail was flailing around in midair.

"Let's make the whale's eye slowly close."

This time, it was a real mess.

Another eye appeared next to the closed one.

I squeezed my own eyes shut.
