addedYummyMy Inspiration solely relies on this line of the post 'or feed to an AI (for science!)', since I love science, its a no brainer for me to test it out for you. The result is way better than I imagined it would ever come out, the image was given an entirely new flair, that could directly be implemented into the game. Watching Eiona, you really get the sense she's a part of the reef itself rather than just a visitor. What stands out is how she balances that deep, oceanic power with a touch of elegance; the way her hair is tied back in those soft, bubbly segments makes her feel approachable, almost like she’s ready for a casual swim through the currents (without killing you!). Her ornaments appear like a curated collection of all the goods that can be found in the vast ocean. And yes this might be overdramatized but that's just how she would describe herself aswell.

Wait, were senpais too shy to make things Insta-official with Eiona on their feeds, or did the hot Dark Siren lure them away??A final chance: It's safe to say the pool is small on socials!

Week One SWAM by!! Thank you to all who participated last week. Let's give a big SPLASH to our first round of winners. Enjoy their submissions, including their answers to what drew them to Eiona + what inspired their design!

Discord Winner

Nyan Mech

Original coloring or illustration (hand-drawn/digital)

They gave us the perfect two-in-one answer for what drew them to Eiona and what inspired their design:

I like her tropical theme

Additionally, all Discord participants unlocked the rare role MerMay ~ Siren's Serenade!

Social Media Winner

🫧 ... Wait, were senpais too shy to make things Insta-official with Eiona on their feeds, or did the hot Dark Siren lure them away??

A final chance: It's safe to say the pool is small on socials! This week, we're granting senpais everywhere a shot to post (or repost) their Eiona template to their feeds on Instagram, Bluesky, or X/Twitter. Just tag @ai2u_game + #ai2u.

No pressure, but it'd be a shame to let those sweet Steam keys sink away!!

We'll reach out to winners this week so they can choose between an AI2U Game Key or the AI2U Official Soundtrack Key! Keep an eye on your email Inbox or Discord/social DMs from the AlterStaff team. Now...

DID YOU REALLY THINK Eddie was gonna let Eiona steal all the thunder??

Behold: The Catgirl fish... Catfish girl?? Mer- Meow??! HELP.

Either way, here's our Week 2 Template! You know the drill from our kickoff announcemen t, but we'll share a quick refresher below.

Deadline to submit Eddie's Template on all platforms: May 17 @ 11:59 PM (EDT)

How to Join

  • Platforms: You may submit one entry per platform as listed below (Google Form, Discord, and one social media as listed below count as separate entry points).

  • Limit: One win per person for the entire event. (If you win one week, you’re welcome to keep participating for fun!)

  • Keep it real: Tell us if your entry is your original art or AI-assisted.

  • Tell us more! Every entry must include a short note answering questions that would blow any chatbot's mind:

- What inspired your design direction?

- In your opinion, which of these best describes Siren Eddie? "C atfish girl," "catgirl fish," "mer-meow,"or something else entirely?

  • Permissions: By participating (for fun or to win), you grant us permission to report your entry and name/alias on our social + community channels. (For yandere marine science reasons, probably...)
