FANTASY

FANTASY at CLOWD is about worlds that operate on their own logic—strange, nonlinear, surreal, and untethered from expectation.

AI can bend reality.

  • Embrace experimental narrative structures (or abandon structure altogether—with intent)

·       Explore fantasy worlds through non-linear, non-sequitur storytelling.

  • Build a distinct world or visual language

  • Use AI as a generative force, not just a production shortcut

  • Feel like a dream, a myth, a glitch, or something we don’t have a word for yet

Core Requirements

  • Minimum 75% AI-Generated Content

The majority of visuals must be created using AI tools

  • Platform Agnostic

Use any tools, models, or workflows

  • Original IP Only

No borrowed mythology, no recognizable franchises, no protected characters

  • Music Must Be Original or AI-generated

This is where AI dreams become artistic language.

  • Visual logic instead of narrative logic

  • Worlds that shift, evolve, contradict themselves

  • Symbols, archetypes, and imagery that feel discovered—not designed
