🍄🟫 The Pochomkin Encyclopedia Drawn by AI
The Pochomkin Encyclopedia Generated by Google AI Search
After registering Chapter 4 on KDP,
I searched for “Egaki-sho of Pochomkin” on Google using AI search.
An unexpected image appeared in the results.
“The Great Encyclopedia of Pochomkin.”
It was an encyclopedia-style visual reconstructed from the world setting.
And in the top-right corner, there was a figure that strongly resembled
the original desktop pet:
“Grow Your Pochomkin.”
What surprised me was that it was not treated as a single character, but as:
Pochomkin = a species
An existence that can be cataloged
A world with expandable variations
Seeing it interpreted this way was quite striking.
From Sunflower to Pochoka
A similar thing actually happened during the creation process.
A sunflower-like character was generated,
and through gradual adjustments to fit the world,
it eventually transformed into the current Pochoka.
From Sunflower to Pochoka
From left to right:
- The first Flower Pochom generated by ChatGPT
- A regenerated version adjusted toward existing characters
- The current prototype of Pochoka, finalized after forest compositing
It began as a coincidental generation.
Through dialogue and refinement,
it gradually settled naturally into the story.
The appearance of “The Great Encyclopedia of Pochomkin”
became a symbolic moment representing the joy of creating alongside generative AI.
Unexpected connections emerge.
And by picking them up and weaving them into the story,
something new is born.
Perhaps that is also one of the true pleasures of creation.
